The investigation was approached in two ways: firstly, from a physiological and pathological angle and secondly at the genetic level. As very little is known about the causes of Witches' Broom disease on P. cynaroides, an attempt was made to identify a pathogen which could be held responsible for the disease. A number of plants were studied in the field and from these samples were taken and cultured on culture medium. Healthy P. cynaroides tissue was not established in tissue culture, while more success was obtained with teratoma tissue. Attempts were made to transmit the disease but these were unsuccessful. Four strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens were unable to induce tumours on P. cynaroides seedlings. Sections of vascular tissue from teratoma and healthy tissue were viewed under the electron microscope but revealed no pathogen. 2014-09-22T07:53:48Z 2014-09-22T07:53:48Z 1987 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/7597 eng application/pdf Department of Molecular and Cell Biology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town |
