Role of plant growth regulators in host-pathogen relationships

The effect of indol-3-ylacetic acid, gibberellie acid, kinetin, abscisic acid and Ethrel on the growth of mycelium, sporulation and germination of spores ofFusarium culmorum of different pathogenicity to wheat seedlings was studied. The production of gibberellins, auxins, cytokinins, ethylene and growth inhibitors by these isolates was determined as well. It has been found that most pronounced and explicit effect on growth and development in fungi was produced by Ethrel which strongly inhibited these processes. ABA proved to be a strong growth and development stimulator, though to a different extent in different isolates. GA3 strongly stimulated sporulation and spore germination in some isolates. The effect of IAA and K on growth and development in fungi was slight. More sensitive to growth regulators were the fungi in earlier stages of growth. No correlation between the pathogenicity of the isolates and their ability to produce growth regulators as well as between their susceptibility to exogenous growth substances in the processes of fungal growth and development was stated.
