Abstract:The presence of cross-reactive antigens between five isolates of P, fragariae (Pf 1, Pf 2, Pf 3, Pf 10 and Pf 11) belonging to five physiological races of the fungus and five strawberry cultivars (Cambridge Favourite, Hapil, Red Gauntlet, Siletz and 52AC18) exhibiting different disease responses to the five isolates was demonstrated by Western blotting. Antiserum anti-H, raised against extracts of healthy Cambridge Favourite roots, detected two antigens which were common to all isolates. Concentration of one of these antigens might be related to the pathogenicity of P. fragariae isolates. Antiserum anti-PfM, raised against mycelial suspensions from the five isolates, detected a doublet of 64 and 61 kDa in the soluble extracts of healthy roots from the five cultivars tested. The corresponding root suspensions revealed numerous other antigens which reacted with anti-PfM. In susceptible interactions, the doublet described above and two additional polypeptides of 38 and 31 kda were detected in large concentrations in both the soluble extracts and root suspensions. These four polypeptides were shown to be present in the healthy roots as well as in the mycelial extracts. In resistant interactions, a 116 kDa polypeptide, present in the root suspensions of the healthy host, was detected in the soluble extracts of the infected roots. It is suggested that these antigens might have a role in resistance and susceptibility.
