Effect
Increased other
Marmarine treated Cucumber, cv. Negin F1, grown in a greenhouse with Phytophthora melonis infection had a significant lower Phytophthora damping-off incidence level, significant more plant biomass, significant more defense enzyme activities (escpecially 48 and 72 h after treatments), significant higher phenolic levels and a significant higher expression of defense genes as compared to the untreated control. (the 0.5 % dose gave the best results together with the combined treatment; the 1 % dose gave a moderate fytotoxicity)
