Degradation of flax stems by Botrytis cinerea

Botrytis cinerea was the most frequent species isolated from discrete white areas on flax stems. Fibre and other tissues in these areas were extensively degraded. A comparison was made of the ultrastucture of such areas and that of flax stems inoculated with B. cinerea. This indicated that the degra...

Summary:Botrytis cinerea was the most frequent species isolated from discrete white areas on flax stems. Fibre and other tissues in these areas were extensively degraded. A comparison was made of the ultrastucture of such areas and that of flax stems inoculated with B. cinerea. This indicated that the degradation in white areas can be attributed to B. cinerea.
