[Method] Using the cultivar Chaochan 2 that is highly susceptible to disease as experimental material, the changes of catalase(CAT), and superoxide dismutase(SOD) and MDA activities in rice treated by BABA were investigated. [Result] In rice plants treated by BABA, the activities of CAT and SOD increased, meanwhile the MDA content also rose to some extent, resulting in the disease resistance to rice blast. [Conclusion] By influencing reactive oxygen metabolism, BABA endows rice plants with resistance to rice blast. BABA is safe to environment and has highly resistance-inducing capacity, it could be generalized in production.展开更多

[ Method ] SA was used as an inducer to treat tomato seedlings, the effects of SA on mycelial diameter and spore germination of B. cinerea were studied, and the changes of 4 defense enzyme activities containing catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) content during the production process of induced resistance were also measured. [ Result] SA had no inhibitory effect against spore germination and myce- lial growth of B. cinerea within the concentration range, and the relative induced effect had different degrees of improvement after treatment. The induced effect was the best as B. cinerea was challenged to inoculate at the third day after using 150 mg/L SA in tomato plants, and the duration of resistance was 10 -15 d. After treated by SA, CAT, POD, PPO and PAL first increased and then decreased in systemic induced resistance against B. cinerea, which were significantly higher than control. Meanwhile, MDA content showed ascendant trend in wavy line form. [ Conclusion ] The use of SA within a certain concentration range is safe; CAT, POD, PPO and PAL activities have positive correlation with induced resistance against B. cinerea, the increase of MDA content also has close relationship with the imvrovement of disease resistance.展开更多

Significantly (p?= 0.05) less, 41.11 second stage juveniles (J2) enter the roots of treated than, 116.66 J2 in untreated control plants. Root fresh and dry weight (Rfw, Rdw) were 2.87 and 0.12 g in treated compared with 4.78 and 0.30 g in nematode infected control plants respectively, 30 d after nematode inoculation. Sfw and Sdw were 8.62 and 0.60 g compared with 3.94 and 0.22 g in control plants. Foliage spray at 40 and 20 mM of BABA was more effective than 10 and 5 mM treatments. The former two concentrations recorded the lowest, average gall index, 2.11 compared with 3.33, 4.11, and 5 for the latter two concentrations and nematode infected control respectively. Results also indicated that treatments with BABA prior to nematode inoculation were superior in inducing resistance toMeloidogyne?spp over treatment at the time or after nematode inoculation.展开更多

The regenerants were selected basing on selective media with sublethal acidity (pH 3.5). The thrice-repeated passaging of sugar beet microclones of two genotypes in low pH medium causes certain alterations in the cellular metabolism. The paper demonstrated that peroxidase (POD) and isocitrate lyase (ICL) activity increased in both varieties. At the same time, NADH-dehydrogenase (NADH-DH) activity decreased in hybrid plants. Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (gl-6-ph-dh) activity increased in mail sterile (MS) hybrid plants, but reduced in Ramonskaya fertile (RF) hybrid plants. Adaptation to reduced pH was accompanied by alterations in the isozyme spectra of POD, 1- and 2-esterase, cytochrome c oxidase and malic enzyme (ME). The adaptation process of sugar beet regenerants was also accompanied by an increase in protein synthesis. The level of metabolic response to stress very much depended on the initial genotype of the hybrid. In this experiment, aluminium resistant plants were growing rapidly in selective media. They developed leaves with healthy petioles and blades and had strong root systems.展开更多

Little is known, however, regarding the influence of these toxins on insects. In this study, we investigated the toxin-induced inhibitory effects of the toxin produced by A. alternata on the rose aphid, Macrosiphum rosivorum, when the toxin was applied to leaves of the rose, Rosa chinensis. The results demonstrated that the purified crude toxin was non-harmful to rose plants and rose aphids, but had an intensive inhibitory effect on the multiplication of aphids. The inhibitory index against rose aphids reached 87.99% when rose plants were sprayed with the toxin solution at a low concentration. Further results from bioassays with aphids and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses demon- strated that tenuazonic acid (TEA) was one of the most important resistance-related active components in the crude toxin. The content of TeA was 0.1199% in the crude toxin under the HPLC method. Similar to the crude toxin, the inhibitory index of pure TeA reached 83.60% 15 d after the rose plants were sprayed with pure TeA solution at the lower concentration of 0.060 IJg/ml, while the contents of residual TeA on the surface and in the inner portion of the rose plants were only 0.04 and 0.00 ng/g fresh weight of TeA-treated rose twigs, respectively, 7 d after the treatment. Our results show that TeA, an active component in the A. alternata toxin, can induce the indirect plant-mediated re- sponses in rose plants to intensively enhance the plant's resistances against rose aphids, and the results are very helpful to understand the plant-mediated interaction between fungi and insects on their shared host plants.展开更多

In the present work, the effect of low non-freezing temperature, as an inducer of "chilling resistance", was studied in three cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.), japonica cv. 9516 (j-9516), the two parental lines of superhigh-yield hybrid rice between subspecies, Peiai/E32 (ji-PE), and the traditional indica hybrid rice Shanyou 63 (i-SY63). Leaves of chill-treated rice showed chilling-induced resistance, as an increase of their low-temperature tolerance was measured using chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, revealing a change in photosystem II (PSII) efficiency. After 5 d of exposure to 11 ~C under low light (100 pmol·m^-2·s^-1), levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids decreased during the initial 1-2 d, then increased slowly and reached 99.2%, 95.3% and 90.1% of the initial value (0 d) in j-9516, ji-PE and i-SY63, respectively, on the fifth day. However, under medium light (600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1), all cultivars experienced similar substantial photoinhibition, which approached steady state levels after a decline in levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids to about 57.1%, 53.8% and 44.5% of the initial values (0 d) in j-9516, ji-PE and i-SY63 on the fifth day. Under either chilling-induced resistance (the former) or low temperature photoinhibition (the latter) conditions, the changes of other physiological parameters such as D1 protein contents, electron transport activities of PSII (ETA), Fv/Fm, xanthophyl cycle activities expressed by DES (deepoxide state) were consistent with that of levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids. So there were negative correlations between saturated levels of fatty acids (16:1(3t), 16:0, 18:0), especially the 16:1(3t) fatty acid on thylakoid membrane and other physiological parameters, such as D1 protein contents, ETA and (A+Z)/(A+V+Z). A specific role of desaturation of fatty acids and the photoprotective pigments of the xanthophyl cycle, leading to an acclimation response in thylakoid membrane lipids may be involved. We conclude that chilling-induced resistance is accelerated by the unsaturation of thylakoid membranes, and the ability of rice plants to cold-harden can be enhanced by genetic engineering.展开更多

Direct assays for peroxidases and β\|1,3\|glucanases demonstrated that the activities of the two enzymes in the rice seedlings increased rapidly with time after SA treatment, reaching a maximum 6 days after treatment.Disease resistance tests showed that SA treated rice seedlings stunted the development of blight lesions and displayed higher resistance to rice blight pathogen ( Xanthomonas oryzea pv. oryzea ). The data suggest that the treatment with SA, even for plants with high endogenous SA levels such as rice, may induce the appearance of new proteins and the formation of disease resistance. The results contribute to the analysis of the SA role in rice systemic acquired resistance.展开更多

文摘The aim of the paper was to study the metabolite profile and morphological characteristics of sugar beet regenerants exposed to aluminium ions (Al^3+). The regenerants were selected basing on selective media with sublethal acidity (pH 3.5). The thrice-repeated passaging of sugar beet microclones of two genotypes in low pH medium causes certain alterations in the cellular metabolism. The paper demonstrated that peroxidase (POD) and isocitrate lyase (ICL) activity increased in both varieties. At the same time, NADH-dehydrogenase (NADH-DH) activity decreased in hybrid plants. Glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenase (gl-6-ph-dh) activity increased in mail sterile (MS) hybrid plants, but reduced in Ramonskaya fertile (RF) hybrid plants. Adaptation to reduced pH was accompanied by alterations in the isozyme spectra of POD, 1- and 2-esterase, cytochrome c oxidase and malic enzyme (ME). The adaptation process of sugar beet regenerants was also accompanied by an increase in protein synthesis. The level of metabolic response to stress very much depended on the initial genotype of the hybrid. In this experiment, aluminium resistant plants were growing rapidly in selective media. They developed leaves with healthy petioles and blades and had strong root systems.

文摘Many different types of toxins are produced by the fungus, Alternaria alternata (Fr.) Keissler. Little is known, however, regarding the influence of these toxins on insects. In this study, we investigated the toxin-induced inhibitory effects of the toxin produced by A. alternata on the rose aphid, Macrosiphum rosivorum, when the toxin was applied to leaves of the rose, Rosa chinensis. The results demonstrated that the purified crude toxin was non-harmful to rose plants and rose aphids, but had an intensive inhibitory effect on the multiplication of aphids. The inhibitory index against rose aphids reached 87.99% when rose plants were sprayed with the toxin solution at a low concentration. Further results from bioassays with aphids and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses demon- strated that tenuazonic acid (TEA) was one of the most important resistance-related active components in the crude toxin. The content of TeA was 0.1199% in the crude toxin under the HPLC method. Similar to the crude toxin, the inhibitory index of pure TeA reached 83.60% 15 d after the rose plants were sprayed with pure TeA solution at the lower concentration of 0.060 IJg/ml, while the contents of residual TeA on the surface and in the inner portion of the rose plants were only 0.04 and 0.00 ng/g fresh weight of TeA-treated rose twigs, respectively, 7 d after the treatment. Our results show that TeA, an active component in the A. alternata toxin, can induce the indirect plant-mediated re- sponses in rose plants to intensively enhance the plant's resistances against rose aphids, and the results are very helpful to understand the plant-mediated interaction between fungi and insects on their shared host plants.

In the present work, the effect of low non-freezing temperature, as an inducer of "chilling resistance", was studied in three cultivars of rice (Oryza sativa L.), japonica cv. 9516 (j-9516), the two parental lines of superhigh-yield hybrid rice between subspecies, Peiai/E32 (ji-PE), and the traditional indica hybrid rice Shanyou 63 (i-SY63). Leaves of chill-treated rice showed chilling-induced resistance, as an increase of their low-temperature tolerance was measured using chlorophyll fluorescence measurements, revealing a change in photosystem II (PSII) efficiency. After 5 d of exposure to 11 ~C under low light (100 pmol·m^-2·s^-1), levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids decreased during the initial 1-2 d, then increased slowly and reached 99.2%, 95.3% and 90.1% of the initial value (0 d) in j-9516, ji-PE and i-SY63, respectively, on the fifth day. However, under medium light (600 μmol·m^-2·s^-1), all cultivars experienced similar substantial photoinhibition, which approached steady state levels after a decline in levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids to about 57.1%, 53.8% and 44.5% of the initial values (0 d) in j-9516, ji-PE and i-SY63 on the fifth day. Under either chilling-induced resistance (the former) or low temperature photoinhibition (the latter) conditions, the changes of other physiological parameters such as D1 protein contents, electron transport activities of PSII (ETA), Fv/Fm, xanthophyl cycle activities expressed by DES (deepoxide state) were consistent with that of levels of unsaturated fatty acids in PSII thylakoid membrane lipids. So there were negative correlations between saturated levels of fatty acids (16:1(3t), 16:0, 18:0), especially the 16:1(3t) fatty acid on thylakoid membrane and other physiological parameters, such as D1 protein contents, ETA and (A+Z)/(A+V+Z). A specific role of desaturation of fatty acids and the photoprotective pigments of the xanthophyl cycle, leading to an acclimation response in thylakoid membrane lipids may be involved. We conclude that chilling-induced resistance is accelerated by the unsaturation of thylakoid membranes, and the ability of rice plants to cold-harden can be enhanced by genetic engineering.

文摘This study aims to comprehensively study the effects of Ca^(2+) on the SA-induced resistance Botrytis cinerea in tomato through proteomics analysis.A proteomic approach was used to uncover the inducible proteins of tomato in the susceptible tomato cultivars ‘L402' against Botrytis cinerea after salicylic acid(SA) and a combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA.The results showed that the use of combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA significantly enhanced tomato resistance against Botrytis cinerea.In total,46 differentially expressed protein spots from 2-DE gel maps were detected,of which 41 were identified by mass spectrometry.All the identified proteins were categorized into eight groups according to their putative functions:defense response(14.00%),antioxidative protein(9.75%),photosynthesis(24.39%),molecular chaperone(4.88%),energy(17.01%),metabolism(21.95%),protein synthesis(4.88%) and signal transduction(0.2%).Of the proteins in the eight function groups,the effect of stress/defense and reactive oxygen species on Ca^(2+) -regulated SA-induced resistance may be the most important one in induced resistance by RT-PCR.The expression level of pathogenesis-related proteins(PRs) and chitinase was upregulated by a combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA.The characterization of these proteins greatly helped to reveal the induced proteins involved in the regulation of Ca^(2+) on SA-induced resistance to Botrytis cinerea.In the combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA,the defense response and antioxidative protein were clearly upregulated much more than SA alone or the control treatment by the method of proteomics and RT-PCR.The present findings suggest that susceptible tomato cultivars treated by the combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA might possess a more sensitive SA signaling system or effective pathway than SA treatment alone.In addition,results indicated that SA could coordinate other cellular activities linked with photosynthesis and metabolism to facilitate defense response and recovery,indicating that the self-defense capability of tomato was improved by the combination treatment of CaCl_2 and SA.

文摘As a famous fruit worldwide,citrus is susceptible to green mold caused by Penicillium digitatum,which causes large economic losses every year.e-Poly-L-lysine(e-PL)is a novel preservative with strong inhibitory effects on fungi,and has the capacity to induce disease resistance in fruit,but the mechanism has been reported rarely,especially in citrus.In the present study,8ooμg/mL e-PL and P digitatum spores were inoculated in two different wounds on the citrus pericarp at an interval of 24 h.The results revealed that e-PL inhibited that the development of green mold without direct contact with P digitatum,indicating that the disease resistance of citrus was activated.Transcriptome analysis revealed that e-PL activated amino acid metabolism and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.Besides,the accumulation of glutamic acid,proline,arginine,serine,lysine,phenylalanine,and tyrosine were changed during storage.In phenylpropanoid biosynthesis,-PL increased phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL),cinnamate 4-hydroxylase(C4H),and 4-coumarate:coenzyme A ligase(4CL)activities and total phenolic and flavonoid contents.Importantly.among these phenolic compounds,e-PL promoted the accumulation of individual phenolic compounds including ferulic acid,chlorogenic acid,p-coumaric acid,caffeic acid,gallic acid,catechins,epicatechin,and narirutin.In conclusion,e-PL enhanced the resistance of citrus through amino acid metabolism and accumulation of phenolic compounds.These results improved the knowledge of the mechanism of-PL-induced disease resistance and provided a fresh theoretical basis for the use of e-PL in postharvest citrus preservation.

文摘An analysis using SDS\|PAGE of acidic and basic protein fractions extracted from rice seedling treated with salicylic acid (SA) yielded several new proteins, some of which are similar in relative molecular mass to PR\|1a,c, PR\|2, 2e and PR\|3d, 3e of tobacco. Direct assays for peroxidases and β\|1,3\|glucanases demonstrated that the activities of the two enzymes in the rice seedlings increased rapidly with time after SA treatment, reaching a maximum 6 days after treatment.Disease resistance tests showed that SA treated rice seedlings stunted the development of blight lesions and displayed higher resistance to rice blight pathogen ( Xanthomonas oryzea pv. oryzea ). The data suggest that the treatment with SA, even for plants with high endogenous SA levels such as rice, may induce the appearance of new proteins and the formation of disease resistance. The results contribute to the analysis of the SA role in rice systemic acquired resistance.
