Abstract

By analyzing saponins content in bulbs of a number of lily genotypes with a known Fusarium resistance, it was found that saponins content in susceptible Oriental lily cultivars is lower than that in the highly resistant lily genotypes like OT hybrids Conca d'or and Robina and the species Lilium dauricum. The results suggest a positive correlation between saponins content in lily bulbs and the resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lilii.
