Abstract
Ultraweak luminescence generated by sweet potato and nonpathogenic Fus arium oxysporum interactions associated with a defense response was de tected by a photon-counting method using ultrahigh-sensitive photodete ctors, The time-dependent intensity variation, the spectrum and the tw o-dimensional imaging of the ultraweak luminescence are indicative of the defense response of the sweet potato to F. oxysporum. The producti on of ipomeamarone as a phytoalexin means that F. oxysporum induced th e defense response in the sweet potato.
