    Respiratory and enzymatic changes in the sclerotial root rot of groundnut
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Anandavally Amma, P; Shanmugam, N; Chandrasekharan Nair, M
    Infection of groundnut hypocotyl region by Schrotium rolfsii was found to augment the respiratory rate of the host tissue. The respiratory rate reached the maximum during the symptom development stage and at this stage the activity of all the important terminal oxidative enzymes were also found to be enhanced. The results are discussed as proof of the role of increased oxidative enzyme activity in enhancing the respiratory rate of infected groundnut plants.

    Permeability changes associated with the sclerotial root rot of groundnut
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Anandavally Amma, P; Shanmugam, N; Chandrasekharan Nair, M
    Infection of groundnut hypocotyl tissue by Sclerothun rolfsii was found to alter the permeability of host tissue resulting in leaching out of large quantities of water soluble constituents. The culture filtrate of this orgainsm was found to alter cell permeability. The possibility of the enzymes secreted by the impairing pathogen in the host cell permeability is discussed.
