S. Hashmi et al., HATCHING FACTOR(S) IN CORN SEEDLING LEACHATE FOR THE EGGS OF HETERODERA-ZEAE, Canadian journal of zoology, 74(8), 1996, pp. 1542-1546
Evidence is presented for the presence of a hatching factor or factors
in corn seedling leachates that enhances egg hatching in Heterodera z
eae. This study was undertaken to gain information on selected charact
eristics of the hatching factor(s). Fresh corn seedling leachates were
heat- and storage-stable. The hatching factor partitioned into diethy
l ether but not into hexane or chloroform.
