Abstract

A toxin produced by Colletotrichum capsici, pathogen of turmeric leaf spot disease has been found to alter the cell permeability of turmeric leaf tissue even at very low concentrations. This led to leaching of large quantities of water soluble constituents. The possibility of the involvement of a toxin in the pathogenesis is discussed.
