Summary

THE VIRULENCE OF M. MUCEDO (THE CAUSAL AGENT OF MUCOR ROT) AND B. CINEREA (GREY MOULD), ON VEGETABLES STORED AT 286 K (13 DEG C) FOR 7 DAYS OR 274 K (1 DEG C) FOR 70 DAYS VARIED WITH THE HOST AND CONTROLLED ATMOSPHERE (CA). M. MUCEDO WAS STRONGLY PATHOGENIC AT 286 K TO CUCUMBER, AUBERGINE, CAPSICUM ANNUUM AND TOMATO, BUT NOT TO PHASEOLUS VULGARIS. THE FUNGUS DID NOT INFECT CARROT, CELERY, ONION OR PARSNIP AT 274 K. B. CINEREA WAS VIRULENT ON ALL OF THESE CROPS AT24 THE SEVERITY OF MUCOR ROT AND GREY MOULD ON AUBERGINE STORED AT 286 K FOR 14 DAYS WAS SUPPRESSED MOST IN A CA OF 7.5% CO2 + 1.5% O2 AND LEAST IN 1.5% O2. THE GROWTH AND SPORULATION OF EACH PATHOGEN ON AUBERGINE-EXTRACT AGAR MAINTAINED AT 286 K FOR 4 OR 14 DAYS WERE SUPPRESSED MOST IN 7.5% CO2 + 1.5% O2.
