Interactions of Alternaria brassicae conidia with leaf epicuticular wax of canola

Epicuticular wax on canola leaves reduced the rate of germination and number of germ tubes produced by Alternaria brassicae conidia. The effect was more pronounced in cvs with greater amounts of wax. The wax in canola is in the form of a fluffy layer and may affect germination by impeding movement o...

Zusammenfassung:	Epicuticular wax on canola leaves reduced the rate of germination and number of germ tubes produced by Alternaria brassicae conidia. The effect was more pronounced in cvs with greater amounts of wax. The wax in canola is in the form of a fluffy layer and may affect germination by impeding movement of foliar exudates to the surface.
