S ummary The concentrations of three amines (putrescine, spermidine and spermine) are much increased in ‘clubbed’ regions of roots of turnip infected by Plasmodiophora brassicae , whilst the concentrations, particularly that of putrescine, decreased in regions of infected roots not exhibiting symptoms of clubroot development. The possible involvement of these polyamines in the formation of ‘clubs’ on infected roots is discussed.
