Erwinia carotovora ssp.carotovora Infection Induced“Defense Lignin”Accumulation and Lignin Biosynthetic Gene Expression in Chinese Cabbage(Brassica rapa L.ssp.pekinensis)

Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc) infects and causes soft rot disease in hundreds of crop species includingvegetables, flowers and fruits. Lignin biosynthesis has been implicated in defensive reactions to injury and pathogeninfection in plants. In this work, variations of lignin content and gene expression in the molecular interaction betweenChinese cabbage and Ecc were investigated. H_2O_2 accumulation and peroxidase activity were detected by 3, 3-Dimethoxybenzidine staining at mocked and Ecc-inoculated sites of Chinese cabbage leafstalks. Mason lignin contentin inoculated plants increased by about 7.84%, 40.37%, and 43.13% more than that of the mocked site at 12, 24 and 72 hafter inoculation, respectively. Gas chromatography detected more p-coumaryl (H) and less coniferyl (G) and sinapyl (S)monolignins in leafstalks of Chinese cabbage. All three monomers increased in Ecc-infected leafstalks, and the Ecc-induced"defense lignin" were composed of more G and H monolignins, and less S monolignin. After searching the expressedsequence tags (EST) data of Chinese cabbage, 12 genes putatively encoding enzymes involved in lignin biosynthesis wereselected to study their expression. All of these genes could be induced by mock inoculation and Ecc infection, while thegene expression lasted for several more hours in the infected samples than in mocked and untreated plants. Our resultsindicated that "defense lignin" was different from the developmental lignin in composition; G and S monolignins weresignificantly induced in plants in response to the soft rot Ecc; thus, lignin biosynthesis was differentially regulated andplayed a role in plant response to the soft rot Ecc.

Lignin biosynthesis has been implicated in defensive reactions to injury and pathogen infection in plants. In this work, variations of lignin content and gene expression in the molecular interaction between Chinese cabbage and Ecc were investigated.

Klason lignin content in inoculated plants increased by about 7.84%, 40.37%, and 43.13% more than that of the mocked site at 12, 24 and 72 h after inoculation, respectively.

Potential of natamycin in enhancing the antagonistic activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BGP20 against post-harvest bacterial soft rot of green pepper

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BGP20 is a promising antagonist in controlling post-harvest bacterial soft rot of vegetables caused by Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Ecc). The objective of this study was to screen a kind of natural and safe additive which could enhance the bio-control activity of BGP20 against post-harvest bacterial soft rot of green pepper. The results of this study indicated that the additive natamycin had stronger inhibition against the pathogen Ecc compared with bamboo vinegar and chitosan in the 2× Yeast extract and Tryptone (2YT) medium. However, natamycin had a slight negative effect on the growth of BGP20 in the 2YT medium. In preventative treatments, natamycin significantly improved the bio-efficacy of BGP20, and enhanced its competitive position against Ecc in the wounds of green pepper. Compared with the treatment with BGP20 alone, the viable count of BGP20 after 72?h of incubation increased by 115.8% in the wounds of green pepper treated with BGP20 and 0.1% natamycin, while that of Ecc decreased by 92.1%. In addition, natamycin remarkably promoted the flocculation of Ecc cells in the 2YT medium, while promoting the dispersion of BGP20. Natamycin had no negative effects on the spore germination of BGP20 and its shelf life. These results indicated that natamycin had perfect compatibility with the antagonist BGP20, and it had a great potential in enhancing the bio-control activity of BGP20 against post-harvest bacterial soft rot of green pepper in preventative treatments.
