Title: Sequential development of deaminases in resistant and susceptible tomato varieties infested with root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita.
Abstract: Investigations on sequential development of chlorogenic acid (CGA), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) were undertaken in two tomato varieties, viz., ‘Pusa Ruby’ and ‘SL-120’ inoculated with the root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita Varieties Pusa Ruby and SL-120 were observed to be susceptible and resistant respectively to M. incognita. The resistance response of SL-120 to M. incognita was characterized by delayed and reduced larval penetration and retarded life cycle of the nematode which corresponded with cell necrosis and hypersensitive reaction.
