THE EFFECT OF CERTAIN ELEMENTS, WITH EMPHASIS ON NITROGEN, ON THE PRODUCTION OF PERITHECIA OF VENTURIA INAEQUALIS (CKE.) WINT.
Keyword(s):
Various elements were tested for their effect on the formation of perithecia of Venturia inaequalis. Apart from nitrogen the elements tested had little effect on the formation of perithecia except at relatively high concentrations. Perithecia did not form in media containing low concentrations of nitrogen and this was influenced by the source of nitrogen and by the cation present in nitrate salts. Perithecial initials developed in higher nitrogen concentrations than perithecia. Nitrogen added 9 weeks after mating of two lines of the fungus prevented the formation of perithecia.Results were difficult to reproduce in a potato-dextrose apple leaf decoction medium but reproducible results were obtained in a synthetic medium.
