Elżbieta Horodecka

Abstract


The purpose of the studies carried out in 1983-1985 was to determine the relationships between the degree of susceptibility of green tomato fruit to late blight and several of the anatomical and morphological features of these fruits. It was found that in the studied material representing a wide range of susceptibility (from various degrees of resistance to susceptible) the extent of infection was dependent on the covering layer thickness (with cuticle) and number of hairs on the skin.
