Abstract
POTTED plants of susceptible Domains Sakel cotton (Gossypium barbodense, L.) and its synthesized blackarm-resistant strains containing B2 or B2 + B3 + B6 genes were sprayed when about three months old with a standardized water-suspension of Xanthomonas malvacearum taken from three-day-old cultures of a recent isolate. The plants were kept in the shade under glass bell-jars for 48 hr. after inoculation. The leaves used for determining respiration-rates were chosen from among fully expanded leaves 5 cm. in diameter situated at the ninth to thirteenth nodes of the stem.
