Abstract The behaviour of Tomato cultures from known resistant and susceptible cultivars lines was examined for callus growth on culture media containing increasing concentrations Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici race 1 filtrate phytoalexin synthesis elicited by cell wall components. A strict correlation found between in vivo resistance to the fungus vitro hypersensitive response induction. On other hand tolerance toxic does not seem this case a good indicator pathogen.
