Biology of Mycosphaerella (Sigatoka): preliminary tests for the selection of resistant varieties

1987

Research is directed towards study of host-parasite relations. The 3 Sigatoka leaf spot pathogens, Mycosphaerella musicola (Yellow Sigatoka), M. fijiensis (Black Leaf Streak) and M. fijiensis difformis are compared morphologically and pathogenically. Species identification by electrophoresis on acrylamide gels has been studied, the species also differ in host range, geographical range, symptoms and distribution of lesions. Early tests of susceptibility of plantlets from meristem culture suggest that they react to infection in the same way as observed in the field
