Fresh weight (FW) and dry weight (DW) of the aerial parts (A, C) and the root system (B, D) of ‘Chondrokatsari
Messinias’ (A, B) and ‘Katsari Santorinis’ (C, D) tomato plants inoculated with
Fusarium oxysporum
f. sp.

. Data are
means of six replicates. FW and DWwere measured 40 and 60 dpi. Columns followed by different letters are statistically dif-
ferent according to the Duncan’s Multiple Range test (
