Effects of Methyl Jasmonate And Cytokinin on Biochemical Responses Of Maize Seedlings Infected By Fusarium moniliforme

Abstract

chlorophyll and protein content reduction and increase in catalase activity and soluble sugar content as compared to control seedlings. Available data suggest that the protective effect of cytokinin and methyl jasmonate was accompanied with increase in chlorophyll and protein content and reduction in catalase activity and soluble sugar content in comparison with infected seedlings with no treatment we propose that methyl jasmonate and cytikinin seed treatment can be used as bio protection agent against the parasite F. moniliforme. cytokinin, Zea mays, methyl jasmonate, fusarium moniliforme, fumonisin
