All inoculated fungi induced the reduction of daily stem chemical efficiency. The more aggressive pathogens, B. stevensii ans P. cinnamomi, induced the sharpest decline in all growth and physiological parameters. A sudden decline of all variables was caused by B. stevensii within 6 days after inoculation, followed by a temporary increase in maximum daily shrinkage coinciding with wilting of the plants. The plants inoculated with P. cinnamomi underwent a more gradual decrease in all parameters, whereas H. mediterraneum induced a slight but still significant reduction only in stem growth and shrinkage. Linear variable displacement transducers (LVDT) proved to be a suitable tool to measure some effects of the pathogenesis.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
