Abstract:Summary — Calcium nutrition (0.1-15 meq I-! Ca; hydroponic culture under controlled conditions) had a significant influence on the susceptibility of N. tabacum to Phytophthora parasitica. In inoculated leaf experiments and in inoculated stem experiments; the tobacco plants grown in 2 meq . I-! Ca (total calcium content = 2.5% of the dry matter) were the most resistant to P. parasitica var. nicofianx, i.e., in the compatible interaction. In the incompatible interaction, the tobacco plants grown above 0.5 … Show more
