Biochemical Response of Glycine Max after Inoculation of Different Concentrations of Fusarium Solani

Diseases of agricultural crops are old as agriculture itself. It has been estimated that fungal diseases are responsible for an annual reduction for more than 20% of total potential world food production from crop plants. Randomized complete block design experiments were conducted to study the effect of different colonies of Fusarium solani on some biochemical and physiological parameters of Glycine max. Sterilized seeds of Glycine max (L.) Merr was artificially inoculated with conidia of 3 different concentrations (10,000, 100,000 and 1000, 000 cfu). Seedlings of Glycine max was grown in 350g acid washed sand. Complete Nutrient Hoagland solution was regularly used to irrigate the plants. Leaves samples were weekly collected for analysis of biochemical tests. It was observed that inoculation of Fusarium solani significantly increase the concentration of total soluble carbohydrate and reducing sugar in inoculated plants over healthy tissues. Protein analysis revealed a significant reduction with the development of disease. Activity of invertase illustrate a variable change initially it was increased than afterward declined
