  Effects of ‘methyl jasmonate’ were studied in vitro on colony growth, sporulation, spore germination and germ tube elongation of phytopathogenic Fusarium solani (Mart.) Sacc., the causal organism of root rot of medicinal Coleus. Three different concentrations of methyl jasmonate- 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.20% were used as amendment with ‘potato dextrose agar’ medium. At 0.10% and 0.20% concentration, methyl jasmonate was able to significantly increase percent growth inhibition of the fungal colonies, as compared to the control, in a concentration dependent manner, after 48 and 96 hours incubation. Inhibition was more severe after 48 hours than 96 hours. Highest percent growth inhibition (76.00) was with 0.20% methyl jasmonate after 48 hours. Methyl jasmonate treatments also had significant reducing effects on spore formation, spore germination f.. View More»
