Eggplant resistance to bacterial wilt and to Fusarium wilt: Is there a link?
Résumé
INRA URI 052 maintains a germplasm collection of S. melongena and related species. The accessions of this collection that are described in the literature as resistant to Ralstonia solanacearum, agent responsible ofbacterial wilt, were screened at plantlet stage against Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. melongenae on the basis of the number ofleaves wilted and vessels browning. Results show that the panel of accessions tested display phenotypes ranging from fully resistant to fully susceptible to Fusarium wilt, with ail intermediate resistance levels. Results are discussed on the basis ofthe complexity ofresistance evaluation and of what is known in tomato about a link between resistances to both vascular diseases.
