Changes in the biochemical composition of stored potato tubers during pathogenesis by Rhizoctonia bataticola
Archives of Phytopathology and Plant Protection 34 (1), 45-54
Abstract: The nutrient contents of the two cultivare of Potato-Irish Cobbler and Red Pontiac were quantitatively altered by Rhizoctonia bataticola during pathogenesis. The glucose content of both cultivare increased whereas sucrose, maltose and fructose contents decreased appreciably in quantity during the period of incubation. The total protein and lipid contents of both cultivare were also lowered quantitatively by the rot-causing organism. The depletion of total carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents, was more in Irish Cobbler cultivar than in Red Pontiac cultivar.
