A polypeptide fungal suppressor from a pea pathogen Mycosphaerella pinodes plays a key role in pathogenesis by suppressing elicitor-induced defense response(s) in pea (Pisum sativum L). In this study, we show that treatment of pea tissues with the polysaccharide elicitor secreted by M. pinodes results in rapid increased activation of two myelin basic protein (MBP)-dependent kinases p44 (≈44 kDa) and p48 (≈48 kDa) within 15–30 min upon elicitation. Interestingly, the suppressor inhibited the elicitor-induced activation of only p44 kinase. While the defense-inducing signalling molecules, chitosan and salicylic acid (SA) activated the p44 and p48 kinases, methyl jasmonate (MeJA) did not. The abiotic stress signals, abscisic acid (ABA), NaCl and wounding activated the p48 kinase alone. These results demonstrate that MAPKs are differentially activated in response to pathogen invasion and abiotic stress in pea. Furthermore, specific inhibition of elicitor-induced p44 kinase activation by a MAPKK inhibitor, PD098059 and protein kinase inhibitor, K252a correlated with the suppression of elicitor-induced phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) gene expression, supporting a role for p44 in the elicitor-induced defense response(s) in pea. Inhibition of p44 by the phosphoinositide (PI) turnover inhibitor, neomycin (a fungal suppressor mimic), and potentiation of p44 by the diacylglycerol (DAG) kinase inhibitor, R59022 indicated that p44 may be acting downstream of (PI) metabolism. Taken together, our results indicate that suppressor of defense elicitation from M. pinodes acts through inhibition of a MAPK (p44), possibly through a PI signaling pathway, facilitating the establishment of basic compatibility during infection of pea. 相似文献

The application of silicon to the roots or leaves reduces the severity of powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii) in melon but the latter treatment is less effective. This study compared key biochemical defence responses of melon triggered by P. xanthii after root or foliar treatment with potassium silicate (PS). Treatments consisted of pathogen‐inoculated or mock‐inoculated plants supplied with PS via roots or foliarly, as well as a non‐treated control. The activity of defence enzymes and the concentration of phenolic compounds, lignin and malondialdehyde were determined from leaf samples at different time points after inoculation. Pathogen‐inoculated plants irrigated with PS showed both an accumulation of silicon and primed defence responses in leaves that were not observed in pathogen‐inoculated plants either sprayed with PS or not treated. These responses included the anticipated activity of peroxidase and accumulation of soluble phenols, the activation of chitinase and repression of catalase, and the stronger activation of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase and β‐1,3‐glucanase. Moreover, the lignin concentration increased in response to inoculation, whereas the malondialdehyde concentration decreased. For the foliar treatment, however, only an increase in lignin deposition was observed compared with the control plants. The results show that silicon strongly plays an active role in modulating the defence responses of melon against P. xanthii when supplied to the roots as opposed to the foliage. 相似文献

Plant beneficial bacteria (PBB) have shown potential for disease control and are particularly important in the management
of bacterial diseases, which are poorly controlled by conventional methods. In melon, bacterial fruit blotch caused by Acidovorax citrulli is a seedborne disease that is particularly destructive under certain conditions. PBB strains were screened for their ability
to protect seeds and leaves from bacterial fruit blotch, and their antibiosis activity and plant colonization were studied.
When Bacillus sp. RAB9 was applied to infected seeds, it reduced the area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) by 47% and increased
the incubation period (the time between inoculation and the first visible symptoms) by 35%. Three of the selected strains
(JM339, MEN2 and PEP91) displayed antibiosis against A. citrulli. The RAB9Rif-Nal mutant colonized seeds epiphytically and roots and stems endophytically. Paenibacillus lentimorbus MEN2 sprayed on melon seedlings protected leaves, and when challenged with A. citrulli, it reduced the AUDPC (by 88%), disease index (by 81%) and incidence (by 77%). Given that the production of both melon seedlings
and commercially grown greenhouse melons is increasing, biocontrol strategies may well be integrated into bacterial blotch
management programs. 相似文献

Local lesion formation on cowpea leaves was more than 50% inhibited by treatment with a 23 kDa RNase-like glycoprotein from
Cucumis figarei, figaren, from 24 hr before to 1 hr after inoculation with Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV). CMV accumulation detected by ELISA in tobacco leaves treated with figaren 6 or 0 hr before inoculation with CMV was
suppressed. When upper leaves of tobacco plants were treated with figaren and inoculated 10 min later with CMV, mosaic symptoms
were delayed for 5–7 days on most of the tobacco plants, and some plants remained asymptomatic. From fluorescence in situ hybridization, infection sites were present in figaren-treated cowpea or melon leaves after inoculation with CMV, though the
sites were reduced in number and size compared with those in water-treated control leaves. The amount of CMV RNAs and CMV
antigen in melon protoplasts inoculated with CMV and subsequently incubated with figaren similarly increased with time as
did that in the control. ELISA and local lesion assays indicated that CMV infection on the upper surfaces of the leaves of
tobacco, melon, cowpea and C. amaranticolor whose lower surfaces had been treated with figaren 5–10 min before CMV inoculation was almost completely inhibited. Figaren
did not inhibit CMV infection on the opposite untreated leaf halves of melon, cowpea and C. amaranticolor, whereas it almost completely inhibited CMV infection on the untreated halves of leaves of tobacco. CMV infection was not
inhibited in the untreated upper or lower leaves of the four plants. These data suggest that figaren does not completely prevent
CMV invasion but does inhibit the initial infection processes. It may also induce localized acquired resistance in host plants.

Dry fungal biomass ofPenicillium chrysogenum (dry mycelium), a waste product of the pharmaceutical industry, was extracted with water and applied to the roots of melon
plants before or after inoculation withFusarium oxysporum f.sp.melonis (Font). Seedlings (4–6 days after emergence) treated with either acidic dry mycelium extract (DME) or neutralized dry mycelium extract
(NDME) were protected against challenge infection withFom. A single drench with 2–5% DME applied 12–72 h before inoculation provided significant control of the disease compared with
water-drenched, challenged seedlings. No protection was seen in plants treated 0–6 h before inoculation or 0–48 h after inoculation.
Neither DME nor NDME (0.5–5%) had any effect on fungal growthin vitro, which implied that disease controlin vivo was mediated by induced resistance. The resistance induced by DME protected melon plants not only against race 1,2, but also
against the three other races of the pathogen, indicating a race-non-specific resistance againstFom. Both DME and NDME significantly increased peroxidase activity and free L-proline content in seedlings 12 h and 48 h after
soil drench, respectively. Resistance to Fusarium wilt was significantly associated with elevated levels of peroxidase activity
but not with free L-proline content. Thus, peroxidase might be involved in the defense mechanisms activated by DME or NDME.

Northern corn leaf blight (NCLB), caused by Exserohilum turcicum, is one of the most devastating diseases affecting maize yield worldwide. A foliar spray of nickel (Ni) to potentiate maize resistance against NCLB was investigated by examining alterations in the photosynthetic apparatus (leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll [Chl] a fluorescence parameters), production of ethylene and reactive oxygen species as well as activities of defence and antioxidant enzymes. Mycelial growth of E. turcicum was inhibited by Ni in vitro. Inoculated plants sprayed with Ni exhibited higher foliar Ni concentration, reduced NCLB symptoms, and lower concentrations of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide. In inoculated leaves of plants not sprayed with Ni, concentrations of Chl a, Chl b, and carotenoids were lower and the photosynthetic apparatus was impaired at the biochemical level due to high NCLB severity. The activities of antioxidant enzymes were not affected by Ni, except an increase in glutathione reductase activity for noninoculated plants sprayed with Ni. High lipoxygenase and polyphenoloxidase activities, lower ethylene production, as well as elevated production of phenolics and lignin helped decrease NCLB severity in the leaves of Ni-sprayed plants. 相似文献

Leaves of powdery mildew-susceptible barley (Hordeum vulgare cv. Ingrid) and related near-isogenic lines bearing various resistance genes (Mla12, Mlg or mlo5) were inoculated with Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei race A6. Fungal attack induced several-fold increases in ethylene emission and electrolyte leakage in leaves of susceptible
Ingrid beginning 3 days after inoculation. Activities of peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione S-transferase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase enzymes were induced markedly in susceptible leaves 5–7 days
after inoculation. Similar, but less pronounced pathogen-induced changes were detected in inoculated leaves of Mla-type resistant
plants that show hypersensitive cell death upon inoculation, and, to an even lesser extent, in the Mlg and mlo lines, where
no visible symptoms accompanied the incompatible interaction. Glutathione content increased only in susceptible barley 7 days
after inoculation. Catalase activity, total ascorbate content and redox state were not influenced by inoculation in any of
the genotypes. The activity of dehydroascorbate reductase was significantly reduced 3–5 days after inoculation in the susceptible
parental plants and after 5 days in Mla and Mlg lines, while it was stable in the mlo barley. Slightly elevated levels of
H2O2 were observed in the inoculated resistant plants. In contrast, H2O2 content decreased in the susceptible line 7 days after pathogen attack. These data indicate that high levels of antioxidants
are involved in the compatible interaction of susceptible barley and powdery mildew by protecting the pathogen from oxidative
damage. 相似文献

During defense responses, plant cells produce nitric oxide (NO), which may control many physiological processes. In a previous
study, we reported that nitrate reductase (NR) is responsible in part for INF1 elicitor-induced NO production in Nicotiana benthamiana, but the possibility remains that other NO-generating system(s) contribute to NO production. In mammalian cells, NO production
is catalyzed by NO synthase (NOS). However, NOS-like enzyme(s) have never been identified in plants, and only the gene for
Arabidopsis thaliana nitric oxide-associated 1 (AtNOA1) has been identified as a putative regulator of NOS activity in plants. In this study, we cloned NbNOA1, a homolog of AtNOA1, from N. benthamiana and investigated its involvement in NO production induced by INF1. The NbNOA1 gene was silenced by a virus-induced gene-silencing (VIGS) technique. NbNOA1-silenced plants had yellowish leaves. Silencing NbNOA1 partially decreased INF1-induced NO production, while overexpressing NbNOA1 did not affect NO production. Silencing NbNOA1 suppressed INF1-induced PR1a gene expression and increased susceptibility to Colletotrichum lagenarium. These results suggest that NbNOA1 is involved in INF1-mediated NO production and is required for defense responses.

ABSTRACT The yeast Candida oleophila, the base of the commercial product Aspire, is recommended for the control of postharvest decay in citrus and pome fruit. Its modes of action include nutrient competition, site exclusion, and direct mycoparasitism. In the present study, we showed that application of Candida oleophila to surface wounds or to intact 'Marsh Seedless' grapefruit elicited systemic resistance against Penicillium digitatum, the main postharvest pathogen of citrus fruit. The induction of pathogen resistance in fruit was already pronounced 24 h after elicitation; it was distance, concentration, and time dependent and restricted to the peel tissue closely surrounding the yeast application site. The induction of pathogen resistance required viable yeast cells at concentrations of 10(8) to 10(9) cells ml(-1). Nonviable autoclaved or boiled yeast cells or lower yeast concentrations were ineffective in enhancing fruit disease resistance. Application of Candida oleophila cell suspensions to grapefruit peel tissue increased ethylene biosynthesis, phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity, and phytoalexin accumulation, and increased chitinase and beta-1,3-endoglucanase protein levels, indicated by western immunoblotting analysis. Scanning electron microscope observations revealed that spore germination and germ tube growth of Penicillium digitatum were markedly inhibited in wounds made near the yeast-treated sites. Overall, this study provides evidence that induced resistance against postharvest decay of citrus fruit should be considered an important component of the multiple modes of action of the yeast Candida oleophila. 相似文献

Treatment of germinating sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] seeds with the grass herbicide, metolachlor (2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl]-N-[2-methoxy-1-methylethyl] acetamide), causes growth retardation, promoted by thickening of the first leaf and thus inhibition of unfolding of secondary leaves, and increased ethylene production. Sorghum seeds pretreated with the safener CGA 43089 [α-(cyanomethoximino)-benzacetonitrile] exhibit neither morphological deformations nor ethylene production upon metolachlor treatment. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine [l-2-amino-4-(2-aminoethoxy)-trans-3-butenoic acid], a specific inhibitor of ethylene formation in higher plants, decreases ethylene formation by metolachlor-treated sorghum seedlings; the observed deformations, however, remain unchanged. Sorghum control seedlings which grow against a covering plate build up ethylene concentrations as after herbicide treatment, but without induction of the morphological symptoms. These observations suggest that the plant hormone ethylene is a symptom and not the inducer of the morphological effects visible after metolachlor treatment of sorghum seedlings. 相似文献

Changes in phenolic metabolism and lignin deposition have been studied in roots of tomato plants after elicitation with four elicitors which are Fusarium mycelium extract (FME), chitosan (CHT), Fusarium culture filtrate (FCF) and Trichoderma mycelium extract (TME). Most profound effect of elicitors was observed on ferulic acid among the phenolic compounds. After 24 h elicitation, the increase in ferulic acid content of root cell wall was 3.71 and 3.30 times by FME and CHT, respectively. The increase of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid was 2.71 and 2.16 times by these two elicitors. The level of 4-coumaric acid was little more than double by these two elicitors after 24 h elicitation. Most pronounced increase in lignin synthesis was also effected by FME followed by CHT. Lignin deposition in the root cell wall was increased 3.6, 5.4 and 7.1 times by FME during 12, 24 and 36 h after elicitation, respectively. Similarly, CHT increased lignin deposition by 2.8, 5.1 and 6.8 times at 12, 24 and 36 h after elicitation, respectively. FCF and TME also increased lignin deposition significantly in the cell walls of tomato roots during the above time periods of elicitation. Activity of phenylalanine ammonia lyase reached highest level at 24 h post elicitation under the influence of the elicitors. Peroxidase activity registered a sharp increase at 24 h post elicitation. Markedly increased level of polyphenol oxidase activity was found at 12 h post elicitation. Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase activity was observed to reach highest level at 48 h post elicitation. Cell wall strengthening, through the deposition of lignin, preceded by the induction of the synthesizing enzymes appears to play an important role in the defense response of Lycopersicon esculentum in reaction to elicitors, including one derived from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici, the causal organism of Fusarium wilt of tomato. 相似文献

Development of a Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis functional GFP fluorescence tool to assist melon resistance breeding programmes 下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom), is one of the most widespread and devastating melon diseases. This vascular disease is caused by the colonization of melon xylem vessels by any of the four Fom races reported (r0, r1, r2 and r1,2, subdivided into r1,2w and r1,2y). The macroscopic evaluation of disease symptoms (disease rating, DR) at several days post‐inoculation (dpi) with Fom spores has been the traditional method to determine the resistance of melon accessions to this fungal pathogen. In this study, one isolate from each Fom race was transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens to constitutively express the green fluorescent protein (GFP). Fom‐GFP transformants, as virulent as the corresponding wildtype races, were selected to develop an inoculation assay based on the non‐invasive evaluation of the fluorescence emitted by Fom‐GFP. It was determined that melon root neck was the appropriate area to follow Fom‐GFP and a fluorescence signal rating (FSR) was established in parallel to DR determination. This method allowed the evaluation of GFP signal in the root neck of inoculated melon seedlings at 11–15 dpi. The GFP signal was scored in 62 melon accessions/breeding lines inoculated with different Fom‐GFP, followed by evaluation of the macroscopic DR in the aerial part of melon seedlings at 20–28 dpi. Correlation analysis demonstrated a direct and significant relationship between FSR and DR. This method has shown to be an effective and reliable tool that can assist Fom resistance breeding programmes in melon. 相似文献

Dipping leaf strips of greenhouse or field-grown tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L., cv. Ky-14) plants into acetone for 1 s, prior to inoculation with sporangia of Peronospora tabacina Adam, increased their susceptibility to blue mold. Disease severity and sporangial production on leaf discs from acetone-treated leaves were markedly increased compared to those on discs from untreated leaves. Treatment with acetone also decreased variation in susceptibility of leaves from plants of various ages. Disease severity on discs obtained from attached leaves which were dipped in acetone for 1 s was three times greater up to 15 days after dipping than on discs from leaves that were not dipped. TLC and GLC analyses of the acetone extracts indicated that 95% or more of the major cuticular diterpenoids, α- and β-4,8,13-duvatriene-1,3-diols (DVT), were removed from the surface by dipping for 1 s. These compounds had not reappeared on the leaf surface 15 days after leaves were dipped in acetone for 1 s. Aqueous suspensions of the acetone-soluble constituents as well as authentic DVT, inhibited sporangial germination of P. tabacina (ED100 = 25 ppm) and the antifungal activity was accounted for by DVT. When DVT was removed from a leaf surface and added back to the same leaf strip, the resistance of the leaf tissue was restored. As tobacco plants aged, their susceptibility to blue mold decreased and the quantity of DVT on the leaf surface increased. The data support a role for DVT in the resistance of tobacco against blue mold. 相似文献

The effect of fusaric acid (FA) on the activity of leaf nitrogen (N) metabolism enzymes in watermelon seedlings supplied with different N forms was studied. The results showed that FA inhibited nitrogen uptake and caused decreased leaf amide and protein but increased the content of ammonium and amino acids. When treated with FA the activities of enzymes in the pathway for the synthesis of amino acid in leaves (GS, GOGAT, and GDH) were decreased by 15–23%, 13–40%, and 71–86%, respectively. The activity of asparagine synthetase was decreased by 34–57%. The proteinase activity was initially increased by 37–125% at 12 h after treatment of FA but then subsequently decreased. The activity of glutamate-pyruvate aminotransferase was increased by 280–400%, though the activity of glutamate-oxaloacetate aminotransferase was decreased by 30–63%. It was suggested that FA inhibited the uptake of ammonium in seedlings and suppressed the activities of amino acid and amide synthases, while stimulating proteinase activity.A new pathogenic mechanism of watermelon infection by Fusarium spp. was found as FA caused the complete disorder and collapse of the host plant's nitrogen metabolism. This work provides a new insight into the progression of watermelon wilting caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. niveum. 相似文献

In 1994, Fusarium wilt of melon cultivars which are resistant to races 0 and 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis was observed in southern area of the Lake Biwa region, Shiga prefecture. In commercial fields, mature plants of cv. Amus
which were grafted onto cv. Enken Daigi 2, and of cv. FR Amus showed yellowing, wilting and finally death before harvesting
of fruits. Diseased plants had vascular and root discolorations, and their stem sections yielded typical colonies of F. oxysporum. When the Shiga strains were tested for their pathogenicity to 12 species of cucurbits, they caused wilts only on melon.
Using race differential cultivars of melon, the Shiga strains were classified as race 1 of F. oxysporum f. sp. melonis, which has not been reported in Japan. To further characterize their pathogenicity, the strains were used to inoculate 46
additional cultivars of melon, oriental melon and oriental pickling melon. All the race 1 strains were pathogenic to the cultivars
tested, and their host range was apparently different from those of strains belonging to other races (races 0, 2 and 1,2y).
DNA fingerprinting with a repetitive DNA sequence, FOLR3, differentiated race 1 strains from strains of races 0 and 2, but
not from race 1,2y strains.

BACKGROUND: The activity of the major digestive cysteine proteinase detected in the intestinal tract of larvae of the bean weevil, Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say), was efficiently inhibited by the well-characterized cysteine proteinase synthetic inhibitor E-64 and also by a recombinant form of chagasin (r-chagasin), a tight-binding cysteine proteinase inhibitor protein from Trypanosoma cruzi. RESULTS: Incorporation of r-chagasin into an artificial diet system at 0.1 g kg(-1) retarded growth rate, decreased larval survival and led to complete mortality of A. obtectus at the end of the trial. The observed differences in growth rates occurred particularly in the first and second development stages. Artificial seeds containing high levels of r-chagasin (0.5-30 g kg(-1)) completely inhibited larval penetration. CONCLUSION: Together, the results reported in this paper support the hypothesis that the inhibitory activity of r-chagasin towards the major insect gut cysteine proteinase in vitro and in vivo is an accurate prediction of its insecticidal effects. The selectivity of this inhibitor against insect digestive proteinases supports the key role in parasite virulence by affecting the endogenous proteinase activity in its natural host. 相似文献
