P. Annamalai et D. Lalithakumari, BIOCHEMICAL-CHANGES AND MECHANISM OF RESISTANCE IN BIPOLARIS-ORYZAE TO EDIFENPHOS, Zeitschrift fur Pflanzenkrankheiten und Pflanzenschutz, 100(5), 1993, pp. 497-507
Physiological changes and mode of resistance in Bipolaris oryzae to ed
ifenphos was evaluated. Due to development of resistance, protein, DNA
, RNA, total lipid and phospholipid contents were altered. Rate of eff
lux of electrolytes was decreased and reduced membrane permeability wa
s suggested as the mechanism of resistance. Due to reduced membrane pe
rmeability, rate of uptake of edifenphos was also less in resistant st
rains of B. oryzae.
