ABSTRACT: Post-infectional changes in
sugars, ascorbic acid, protein, phenols, chlorophyll and carotene of two Cymbopogons viz., Cymbopogon martinii and Cymbopogon
citratus due to leaf rust caused by Puccinia
nakanishikii (Diet) were investigated. All the biochemical constituents
decreased in plants infected by the fungal pathogen.
