| Abstract: | Localized infection in cucumber cotyledons with Colletotrichum lagenarium induced resistance against infection after challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia solani AG2–2 and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum in the roots. The plants were unprotected in soil that was infested heavily with R. solani or in contact with the mycelium, and induced resistance was not observed. Wounding of the root also negated the effect of induced resistance to F. oxysporum . |
