Popis: Garlic blue mold disease, caused by Penicillium allii, is responsible for important economic losses produced yearly in garlic field crops and in postharvest storage. The identification of genetic resistance sources may help in the management of this disease. The present study investigated in vivo and in vitro antifungal effects of a genetically-diverse garlic collection against P. allii in two growing seasons. Cloves of garlic accessions were inoculated with P. allii conidia, and lesion area and sporulation of the fungus in the clove were estimated as a means to characterize the accessions response to the infection. Significant and continuous variation was found among the accessions (p
