Polyclonal antisera produced against spores, soluble protein and the whole mycelium fractions of Didymella lycopersici reacted with the homologous and heterologous antigens. The most sensitive antiserum was that raised against the whole mycelium, the soluble protein and the spore, in decreasing order of sensitivity. Using the antiserum raised against the whole mycelium it was possible to detect D. lycopersici on diseased plants and infested seeds. Cross reactivity was observed between the antisera produced to D. lycopersici and D. applanata, D. bryoniae and other tomato fungal pathogens including Fusarium spp. and B. cinerea. ELISA was most sensitive and reliable compared to double immunodiffusion, and latex tests. No reactions were obtained using the latex agglutination procedure and no antiserum detected spores in double diffusion tests. Protein profiles on SDS-PAGE revealed that the total number of protein bands decreased with increased age of cultures of D. lycopersici incubated in liquid media. Western blots probed with the antiserum raised against the whole mycelium showed that protein bands from extracts of both D. lycopersici and D. applanata were antigenic. / Land and Food Systems, Faculty of / Graduate

Sclerotium rolfaii Secc. is a fungus that is prevalent throughout the southern states, and at times causes very serious losses to farm crops and ornamental plants. It causes a disease known as Sclerotium Wilt, Southern Wilt, or Southern Blight. The Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station has received many complaints of Sclerotium Wilt on ornamental plants in the last few years, but has been unable to give any definite recommendations because no satisfactory method of control has been developed. the object of this investigation was to study the characteristics of the fungus and to discover, if possible, some method or methods of checking the disease when established. / Master of Science
