Abstract
THE elucidation of metabolic relations between plants and their pathogens must precede a reasoned approach to control before and after infection. Disturbances of protein synthesis, respiration and transpiration have been widely reported in host plants after infection, but the direct manipulation of plant hormone systems in disease has been neglected, as has the study of metabolic control exerted by the pathogen.
