The chlorophyll deficiency in citrus seedlings known as albinism was induced by inoculating seed with certain clones of Alternaria tenuis, or by germination of the seed in contact with extracts from the fungus. The active material in the extracts apparently has a rather specific inhibiting effect on chlorophyll formation in seedlings of various species.
已知某些纤细交链孢菌克隆接种在柑橘幼苗种子上或真菌提取物与种子接触可诱导幼苗出现叶绿素缺失的白化病。提取物中的活性物质显然对各种物种幼苗的叶绿素形成具有相当特异的抑制作用。
