Abstract

AbstractThree populations of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. were inoculated with three isolates of Plasmodiophora brassicae Woron. Inoculation of young Arabidopsis plants caused clubbing of roots and, in the late flowering population CrGC 9–4, infection of shoots. In this population, the number of inoculated plants reaching the flowering stage was reduced, and the majority of plants died prematurely. Symptoms of shoot infections were compressed rosettes with thickened and stunted leaves containing resting spores of P. brassicae. The results showed clearly that A. thaliana is susceptible to P. brassicae.
