Abstract:
Fifteen isolates of F. avenaceum were pathogenic to oat seedlings, irrespective of host plant from which they had originally been isolated. Pathogenicity was correlated to the activity of cell wall-bound .beta.-glucosidase and .alpha.-arabinosidase of the mycelium. The observed enzymatic hydrolysis of avenacin to the biologically inactive aglycone avenamin in infected oat roots by all fungal isolates demonstrates the species-specificity of this inactivation mechanism and explains also the lack of oat-specific races of the fungus. One isolate of F. avenaceum retained its pathogenicity despite continuous subculture on nutrient agar for 27 yr.
