LOCATION OF FUNGI IN SUNFLOWER SEED
Abstract
Using ISTA technique , component plating of sunflower seed showed that pericarp was infected by greater number of fungi followed by seed coat, cotyledon and axis (radicle + plumule). Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, Fusarium solani (Mart). Sacc., and macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Gold., were also isolated from axis of the seed . Reduced number of fungal species in surface sterilized seed indicates that most of the fungi located on pericarp. Blotter method showed greater infection of fungi on seed parts followed by agar plate method.
