Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is one of the most important foliar diseases affecting soybean production worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the photosynthetic performance (leaf gas exchange, chlorophyll (Chl) a fluorescence images and photosynthetic pigment pools) of soybean plants sprayed with Acibenzolar‐S‐Methyl (ASM) and the fungicide epoxiconazole + pyraclostrobin (Epo+Pyr) and further inoculated with P. pachyrhizi. The ASR symptoms progressed much faster on the leaves of plants from the control treatment (water spray) in comparison with the ASM and Epo+Pyr treatments. In general, the values for the leaf gas exchange parameters net carbon assimilation rate ( A), stomatal conductance to water vapour ( gs), internal CO 2 concentration ( Ci) and transpiration rate ( E) increased for the infected plants sprayed with ASM or Epo+Pyr in comparison with plants from the control treatment. The values for the initial fluorescence ( Fo), maximal fluorescence ( Fm), maximal photosystem II quantum efficiency ( Fv/ Fm), effective photosystem II quantum yield (Y(II)) and quantum yield of regulated energy dissipation (Y(NPQ)) were consistently higher for the ASM and Epo+Pyr treatments in comparison with the control treatment at advanced stages of fungal infection. By contrast, the values for quantum yield of non‐regulated energy dissipation (Y(NO) were significantly lower for the ASM and Epo+Pyr treatments. The concentrations of total Chl a+ b and carotenoids significantly increased for infected plants sprayed with ASM and Epo+Pyr in comparison with plants from the control treatment. The results of this study demonstrated that the spray of soybean plants with either ASM or Epo+Pyr contributed to reduce the negative effect of ASR on the photosynthesis of soybean plants. 相似文献

Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the obligate fungal pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi, often leads to significant yield losses and can only be managed through fungicide applications currently. In the present study, eight urediniospore germination or appressorium formation induced P. pachyrhizi genes were investigated for their feasibility to suppress ASR through a bean pod mottle virus (BPMV)-based host-induced gene silencing (HIGS) strategy. Soybean plants expressing three of these modified BPMV vectors suppressed the expression of their corresponding target gene by 45%–80%, fungal biomass accumulation by 58%–80%, and significantly reduced ASR symptom development in soybean leaves after the plants were inoculated with P. pachyrhizi, demonstrating that HIGS can be used to manage ASR. In addition, when the in vitro synthesized double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) for three of the genes encoding an acetyl-CoA acyltransferase, a 40S ribosomal protein S16, and glycine cleavage system H protein were sprayed directly onto detached soybean leaves prior to P. pachyrhizi inoculation, they also resulted in an average of over 73% reduction of pustule numbers and 75% reduction in P. pachyrhizi biomass accumulation on the detached leaves compared to the controls. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of suppressing P. pachyrhizi infection in soybean through both HIGS and spray-induced gene silencing. It was demonstrated that either HIGS constructs targeting P. pachyrhizi genes or direct dsRNA spray application could be an effective strategy for reducing ASR development on soybean. 相似文献

Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi, is one of the most important diseases on soybean. At the moment, ASR is managed mainly with fungicides due to the absence of commercial cultivars with resistance to this disease. This study evaluated the effects of acibenzolar‐Smethyl (ASM), jasmonic acid (JA), potassium silicate (PS) and calcium silicate (CS) on soybean resistance to ASR. The ASM, JA and PS were sprayed to leaves 24 h prior to inoculation with P. pachyrhizi. The CS was amended to the soil. The incubation period (time from the inoculation until symptoms development) was longer for plants growing in soil amended with CS or sprayed with ASM in comparison with plants sprayed with water (control). Plants sprayed with ASM had longer latent period (time from the inoculation until signs appearance) in comparison with the control plants. Plants sprayed with PS showed fewer uredia per cm² of leaf in relation to the control plants. The ASM and PS were the most effective treatments in reducing the ASR symptoms in contrast to the JA and CS treatments. The JA served as an inducer of susceptibility to ASR. 相似文献

We investigated the influence of exogenously sourced ethylene (200 μL L ?1 ethephon) in the protection of photosynthesis against 200 mg kg ?1 soil each of nickel (Ni)- and zinc (Zn)-accrued stress in mustard ( Brassica juncea L.). Plants grown with Ni or Zn but without ethephon exhibited increased activity of 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid synthase, and ethylene with increased oxidative stress measured as H 2O 2 content and lipid peroxidation compared with control plants. The oxidative stress in Ni-grown plants was higher than Zn-grown plants. Under metal stress, ethylene protected photosynthetic potential by efficient PS II activity and through increased activity of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and photosynthetic nitrogen use efficiency (P-NUE). Application of 200 μL L ?1 ethephon to Ni- or Zn-grown plants significantly alleviated toxicity and reduced the oxidative stress to a greater extent together with the improved net photosynthesis due to induced activity of ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione (GSH) reductase, resulting in increased production of reduced GSH. Ethylene formation resulting from ethephon application alleviated Ni and Zn stress by reducing oxidative stress caused by stress ethylene production and maintained increased GSH pool. The involvement of ethylene in reversal of photosynthetic inhibition by Ni and Zn stress was related to the changes in PS II activity, P-NUE, and antioxidant capacity was confirmed using ethylene action inhibitor, norbornadiene. 相似文献

Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by the obligate biotrophic fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi, can cause losses greater than 80%. Despite its economic importance, there is no soybean cultivar with durable ASR resistance. In addition, the P. pachyrhizi genome is not yet available. However, the availability of other rust genomes, as well as the development of sample enrichment strategies and bioinformatics tools, has improved our knowledge of the ASR secretome and its potential effectors. In this context, we used a combination of laser capture microdissection (LCM), RNAseq and a bioinformatics pipeline to identify a total of 36 350 P. pachyrhizi contigs expressed in planta and a predicted secretome of 851 proteins. Some of the predicted secreted proteins had characteristics of candidate effectors: small size, cysteine rich, do not contain PFAM domains (except those associated with pathogenicity) and strongly expressed in planta. A comparative analysis of the predicted secreted proteins present in Pucciniales species identified new members of soybean rust and new Pucciniales‐ or P. pachyrhizi‐specific families (tribes). Members of some families were strongly up‐regulated during early infection, starting with initial infection through haustorium formation. Effector candidates selected from two of these families were able to suppress immunity in transient assays, and were localized in the plant cytoplasm and nuclei. These experiments support our bioinformatics predictions and show that these families contain members that have functions consistent with P. pachyrhizi effectors. 相似文献

The photosynthetic performance (leaf gas exchange and chlorophyll a (Chl a) fluorescence), activities of antioxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POX), ascorbate peroxidase (APX)] and the concentrations of hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the flag leaves of plants from two wheat cultivars with contrasting levels of resistance to spot blotch was assessed. Spot blotch severity was significantly lower in plants from cv. BR‐18 compared to cv. Guamirim. Net carbon assimilation rate, stomatal conductance and concentrations of Chl a, Chla b and carotenoids were significantly decreased from fungal infection. In contrast, internal CO 2 concentration was significantly increased from fungal infection in comparison to their non‐inoculated counterparts. Similarly, inoculation significantly reduced photochemical performance in the inoculated flag leaves in comparison to their non‐inoculated counterparts. However, plants from cv. BR‐18 were able to sustain greater functionality of the photosynthetic apparatus during fungal infection process compared to cv. Guamirim. The activities of SOD, POX, APX and CAT increased in inoculated flag leaves from both cultivars compared to non‐inoculated plants, and the highest increases were measured in cv. BR‐18. The greater activities of these enzymes were associated with a reduced H 2O 2 concentration in the inoculated flag leaves from cv. BR‐18, resulting, therefore, in a lower MDA concentration. Thus, a more efficient antioxidative system in flag leaves from cv. BR‐18 plays a pivotal role in removing the excess reactive oxygen species that were generated during the infection process of Bipolaris sorokiniana, therefore limiting cellular damage and largely preserving the photosynthetic efficiency of the infected flag leaves. 相似文献

Plant growth, contents of photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic gas exchange, and chlorophyll (Chl) fluorescence in soybean
[ Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Heinong37] were investigated after it was inoculated with Sinorhizobium fredii USDA191 or treated with 5 mM (NH 4) 2SO 4 (N5) and 30 mM (NH 4) 2SO 4 (N30), respectively. In the plants following N5 fertilization, not only plant biomass, leaf area, and Chl content, but also
net photosynthetic rate ( P
N), stomatal conductance ( g
s), carboxylation efficiency (CE), maximum photochemical efficiency (F v/F m) of photosystem 2 (PS2), and quantum yield of PS2 (Φ PS2) were markedly improved as compared with the control plants. There were also positive effects on plant growth and plant photosynthesis
after rhizobia inoculation, but the effects were much less than those of N5 fertilization. For N30 plants there were no significant
positive effects on plant growth and photosynthetic capacity. Plant biomass, P
N, and g
s were similar to those of N-limited (control) plants. Φ PS2 and photochemical quenching (q P) were obviously declined while content of carotenoids and non-photochemical quenching (q N) were significantly enhanced in N30 treated plants. This indicated that excess N supply may cause some negative effects on
soybean plants. 相似文献

The current research was performed to evaluate the effect of Bacillus megaterium MCR-8 on mitigation of nickel (Ni) stress in Vinca rosea grown on Ni-contaminated soil (50, 100, and 200 mg Ni kg ?1 soil). The treated plants exhibited reduced growth, biomass, gas exchange capacity, and chlorophyll (Chl) content under Ni stress. The inoculated plants growing in Ni-contaminated media exhibited relatively higher growth, total soluble protein, and proline contents. Similarly, bacterial inoculation improved the activity of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX) under Ni stress. The Ni stress alleviation in inoculated plants was attributed to the reduced level of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2), enhanced synthesis of protein, proline, phenols, and flavonides in conjunction with improved activity of antioxidant enzymes. The growth-promoting characteristics of microbe such as 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACCD) and phosphate solubilization activity, siderophore, and auxin production capability also improved the growth and stress mitigation in inoculated plants. Furthermore, the inoculated plants exhibited higher value for bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation factor (TF), and resulted in higher loss of Ni content from soil. The current results exhibited the beneficial role of B. megaterium MCR-8 regarding stress alleviation and Ni phytoextraction by V. rosea. 相似文献

Plants show enhanced phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils particularly in response to fungal inoculation. Present study was conducted to find out the influence of Nickel (Ni) toxicity on plant biomass, growth, chlorophyll content, proline production and metal accumulation by L. usitatissimum (flax) in the presence of Glomus intraradices. Flax seedlings of both inoculated with G. intraradices and non-inoculated were exposed to different concentrations i.e., 250, 350 and 500 ppm of Ni at different time intervals. Analysis of physiological parameters revealed that Ni depressed the growth and photosynthetic activity of plants. However, the inoculation of plants with arbuscular mycorrhizae (G. intraradices) partially helped in the alleviation of Ni toxicity as indicated by improved plant growth under Ni stress. Ni uptake of non- mycorrhizal flax plants was increased by 98% as compared to control conditions whereas inoculated plants showed 19% more uptake when compared with the non-inoculated plants. Mycorrhizal plants exhibited increasing capacity to remediate contaminated soils along with improved growth. Thus, AM assisted phytoremediation helps in the accumulation of Ni in plants to reclaim Ni toxic soils. Based on our findings, it can be concluded that the role of flax plants and mycorrhizal fungi is extremely important in phytoremediation. 相似文献

The role of ethylene (through application of ethephon) in the regulation of nickel (Ni) stress tolerance was investigated in this study. Ethephon at concentration of 200 µl l?1 was applied to mustard (Brassica juncea) plants grown without and with 200 mg kg?1 soil Ni to study the increased growth traits, biochemical attributes, photosynthetic efficiency, nutrients content, activities of antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase, glyoxalase systems and enhanced the proline metabolism. In the absence of ethephon, Ni increased oxidative stress with a concomitant decrease in photosynthesis, growth and nutrients content. However, application of ethephon positively increased growth traits, photosynthetic parameters, nutrients content and also elevated the generation of antioxidants enzymes and glyoxalase systems, proline production to combat oxidative stress. Plants water relations and cellular homeostasis were maintained through increased photosynthetic efficiency and proline production. This signifies the role of ethylene in mediating Ni tolerance via regulating proline production and photosynthetic capacity. Ethephon can be used as an exogenous supplement on plants to confer Ni tolerance. The results can be exploited to develop tolerance in plants via gene editing technology encoding enzymes responsible for proline synthesis, antioxidant defence, glyoxalase systems and photosynthetic effectiveness. 相似文献

The ability of Phakopsora pachyrhizi to cause infection under conditions of discontinuous wetness was investigated. In in vitro experiments, droplets of a uredospore suspension were deposited onto the surface of polystyrene. After an initial wetting period of either 1, 2 or 4 h, the drops were dried for different time intervals and then the wetness was restored for 11, 10 or 8 h. Germination and appressorium formation were evaluated. In in vivo experiments, soybean plants were inoculated with a uredospore suspension. Leaf wetness was interrupted for 1, 3 or 6 h after initial wetting periods of 1, 2 or 4 h. Then, the wetting was re‐established for 11, 10 or 8 h, respectively. Rust severity was evaluated 14 days after inoculation. The germination of the spores and the formation of the appressoria on the soybean leaves after different periods of wetness were also quantified in vivo by scanning electron microscopy. P. pachyrhizi showed a high infective capacity during short periods of time. An interruption of wetness after 1 h caused average reductions in germination from 56 to 75% and in appressorium formation from 84 to 96%. Rust severity was lower in all of the in vivo treatments with discontinuous wetness when compared to the control plants. Rust severity was zero when the interruption of wetness occurred 4 h after the initial wetting. Wetting interruptions after 1 and 2 h reduced the average rust severity by 83 and 77%, respectively. The germination of the uredospores on the soybean leaves occurred after 2 h of wetness, with a maximum germination appearing after 4 h of wetness. Wetness interruption affected mainly the spores that had initiated the germination. 相似文献

Soybean rust caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi is a destructive foliar disease in nearly all soybean‐producing countries. Understanding the host responses at the molecular level is certainly essential for effective control of the disease. To identify proteins involved in the resistance to soybean rust, differential proteomic analysis was conducted in soybean leaves of a resistant genotype after P. pachyrhizi infection. A total of 41 protein spots exhibiting a fold change >1.5 between the non‐inoculated and P. pachyrhizi‐inoculated soybean leaves at 12 and 24 h postinoculation (hpi) were unambiguously identified and functionally grouped into seven categories. Twenty proteins were up‐regulated and four proteins were down‐regulated at 12 hpi, whereas 18 proteins were up‐regulated and eight proteins were down‐regulated at 24 hpi. Generally, proteins involved in photosynthesis were down‐regulated, whereas proteins associated with disease and defense response, protein folding and assembly, carbohydrate metabolism and energy production were up‐regulated. Results are discussed in terms of the functional implications of the proteins identified, with special emphasis on their putative roles in defense. Abundance changes of these proteins, together with their putative functions reveal a comprehensive picture of the host response in rust‐resistant soybean leaves and provide a useful platform for better understanding of the molecular basis of soybean rust resistance. 相似文献

Little is known about the role of endophytic fungi against abiotic stresses and isoflavonoids (IF) contents of soybean. In
current study, we investigated the role of fungal endophytes on the growth of soybean under salt stress conditions. Pure cultures
of nine endophytic fungi were isolated from the roots of field-grown soybean plants, and their culture filtrates were screened
on Waito- C and Dongjin-byeo rice cultivars; for identification of plant growth promoting fungal strains. It was observed that fungal
isolate GMC-2B significantly promoted the growth of both Waito- C and Dongjin-byeo. GMC-2B was later identified as a new strain of Metarhizium anisopliae LHL07 on the basis of 18S rDNA sequences and phylogenetic analysis. Metarhizium anisopliae LHL07 inoculated soybean plants recorded significantly higher shoot length, shoot fresh and dry biomass, chlorophyll contents,
transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate and leaf area; under sodium chloride induced salt stress as compared to non-inoculated
control plants. An elevated proline and reduced superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde contents in M. anisopliae LHL07 inoculated soybean plants demonstrated mitigation of salt induced oxidative stress. Furthermore, reduced abscisic acid
and elevated jasmonic acid contents in soybean plants confirmed that lesser stress was convened to M. anisopliae inoculated-plants under salinity stress. We also assessed the role of M. anisopliae interaction on IF biosynthesis of soybean, and found significantly higher IF contents in M. anisopliae inoculated soybean plants. In conclusion, endophytic fungal interactions with soybean can be beneficial to improve soybean
quality and quantity under salt affected agricultural systems. 相似文献

Continually rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations and possible climatic change may cause significant changes in plant communities. This study was undertaken to investigate gas exchange in two important grass species of the short-grass steppe, Pascopyrum smithii (western wheat-grass), C 3, and Bouteloua gracilis (blue grama), C4, grown at different CO 2 concentrations and temperatures. Intact soil cores containing each species were extracted from grasslands in north-eastern Colorado, USA, placed in growth chambers, and grown at combinations of two CO 2 concentrations (350 and 700 μmol mol −1) and two temperature regimes (field average and elevated by 4°C). Leaf gas exchange was measured during the second, third and fourth growth seasons. All plants exhibited higher leaf CO 2 assimilation rates ( A) with increasing measurement CO 2 concentration, with greater responses being observed in the cool-season C 3 species P. smithii. Changes in the shape of intercellular CO 2 response curves of A for both species indicated photosynthetic acclimation to the different growth environments. The photosynthetic capacity of P. smithii leaves tended to be reduced in plants grown at high CO 2 concentrations, although A for plants grown and measured at 700μmol mol −1 CO 2 was 41% greater than that in plants grown and measured at 350 μmol mol −1 CO 2. Low leaf N concentration may have contributed to photosynthetic acclimation to CO 2. A severe reduction in photosynthetic capacity was exhibited in P. smithii plants grown long-term at elevated temperatures. As a result, the potential response of photosynthesis to CO 2 enrichment was reduced in P. smithii plants grown long-term at the higher temperature. 相似文献

Changes in plant growth, photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence and stem diameter of soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] plants under drought stress were studied. Total plant dry mass was reduced by 30 % compared to well-watered control
plants. Leaf water potential was slightly decreased by water stress. Water stress induced daytime shrinkage and reduced night-time
expansion of stem. Photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were significantly declined by water stress,
while the intercellular CO 2 concentration was changed only slightly at the initiation of stress treatment. The maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem
2 and apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate were not changed by water stress. 相似文献

Ethylene is considered one of the most important plant hormones orchestrating plant responses to flooding stress. However, ethylene may induce deleterious effects on plants, especially when produced at high rates in response to stress. In this paper, we explored the effect of attenuated ethylene sensitivity in the Never ripe ( Nr) mutant on leaf photosynthetic capacity of flooded tomato plants. We found out that reduced ethylene perception in Nr plants was associated with a more efficient photochemical and non-photochemical radiative energy dissipation capability in response to flooding. The data correlated with the retention of chlorophyll and carotenoids content in flooded Nr leaves. Moreover, leaf area and specific leaf area were higher in Nr, indicating that ethylene would exert a negative role in leaf growth and expansion under flooded conditions. Although stomatal conductance was hampered in flooded Nr plants, carboxylation activity was not affected by flooding in the mutant, suggesting that ethylene is responsible for inducing non-stomatal limitations to photosynthetic CO 2 uptake. Upregulation of several cysteine protease genes and high protease activity led to Rubisco protein loss in response to ethylene under flooding. Reduction of Rubisco content would, at least in part, account for the reduction of its carboxylation efficiency in response to ethylene in flooded plants. Therefore, besides its role as a trigger of many adaptive responses, perception of ethylene entails limitations in light and dark photosynthetic reactions by speeding up the senescence process that leads to a progressive disassembly of the photosynthetic machinery in leaves of flooded tomato plants. 相似文献

Common bacterial blight (CBB), caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli var. fuscans ( Xapf), negatively impact common bean production globally. Considering the potential of phosphites to protect plants against different diseases, this study investigated the potential of using manganese (Mn) and zinc (Zn) phosphites in common bean for CBB control. Plants were inoculated with Xapf 48 hr after being sprayed with water (control) and solutions (7.5 ml/L) of Mn and Zn phosphites. The area under common bacterial blight progress curve (AUCBBPC) was significantly lower by 34% and 59% for Mn and Zn phosphite treatments in comparison with the control treatment. The AUCBBPC was significantly reduced by 38% for Zn phosphite-sprayed plants compared to Mn phosphite treatment. Phosphite-sprayed plants displayed higher values for area under the curves of net CO 2 assimilation rate, stomatal conductance to water vapour, transpiration rate and internal-to-ambient CO 2 concentration ratio than non-sprayed plants. This indicates the effect of Mn and Zn phosphites in attenuating the photochemical dysfunctions caused by Xapf infection. Moreover, plants sprayed with Mn phosphite displayed higher values for area under the curves of efficiency in capturing the excitation energy of open reaction centres of PSII and electron transport rate than those non-sprayed indicating their capacity to preserve the capture and the use of the collected energy more efficiently. Lower AUCBBPC for Zn phosphite-sprayed plants resulted in higher concentrations of total chlorophylls. The Zn phosphite-sprayed plants showed higher values for area under the curves of β-1,3-glucanase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, polyphenoloxidase, ascorbate peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities. The Zn phosphite spray primed the plants to enhance their defence response and antioxidant capacity to reduce Xapf-triggered oxidative stress with the preservation of the photosynthetic apparatus more efficiently. 相似文献

The short-term stimulation of the net rate of carbon dioxide exchange of leaves by elevated concentrations of CO 2 usually observed in C 3 plants sometimes does not persist. Experiments were conducted to test whether the patterns of response to the environment during growth were consistent with the hypotheses that photosynthetic adjustment to elevated CO 2 concentration is due to (1) feedback inhibition or (2) nutrient stress. Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr. cv. Williams] and sugar beet ( Best vulgaris L. cv. Mono Hye-4) were grown from seed at 350 and 700 μl ? CO 2, at 20 and 25°C, at a photon flux density of 0.5 and 1.0 mmol m ?2 S ?1 and with three nutrient regimes until the third trifoliolate leaf of soybean or the sixth leaf of sugar beet had finished expanding. Net rates of CO 2 exchange of the most recently expanded leaves were then measured at both 350 and 700 μl 1 ?1 CO 2. Plants grown at the elevated CO 2 concentration had net rates of leaf CO 2 exchange which were reduced by 33% in sugar beet and 23% in soybean when measured at 350 μl 1 ?1 CO 2 and when averaged over all treatments. Negative photosynthetic adjustment to elevated CO 2 concentration was not greater at 20 than at 25°C, was not greater at a photon flux density of 1.0 than at 0.5 mmol m ?2 S ?1 and was not greater with limiting nutrients. Furthermore, in soybean, negative photosynthetic adjustment could be induced by a single night at elevated CO 2 concentration, with net rates of CO 2 exchange the next day equal to those of leaves of plants grown from seed at the elevated concentration of CO 2. These patterns do not support either the feedback-inhibition or the nutrient-stress hypothesis of photosynthetic adjustment to elevated concentrations of CO 2. 相似文献

We examined the physiological responses of four soybean genotypes (KS4202, K-1639-2, ‘Jackson,’ ‘Asgrow 2703’) to soybean
aphid ( Aphis glycines Matsumura) feeding in reproductive stage soybeans (R1, beginning bloom). Photosynthetic capacity was evaluated by taking
survey measurements at 7, 17, 24, and 28 days after aphid introduction and by measuring assimilation/internal CO 2 (AC i) curves at 29 days after aphid introduction. There were no significant differences in survey measurements between the control
and infested KS4202, K-1639-2, Jackson, and Asgrow 2703 plants at 7, 17, 24, and 28 days after aphid introduction. At 29 days
after aphid introduction, Asgrow 2703 plants showed a significant reduction in photosynthetic capacity compared to its control
plants, while infested KS4202 plants had photosynthetic rates similar to control plants, suggesting the plant’s ability to
compensate for aphid feeding. Differences in gas-exchange parameters, specifically J max and CE, between control and infested Asgrow 2703 plants showed that soybean aphid feeding negatively impacts the carbon-linked/dark
reactions, specifically rubisco activity and RuBP regeneration. This research also investigated the role of peroxidases in
the defense response of soybeans to the soybean aphid. Enzyme kinetics studies documented the up-regulation of peroxidase
activity for both Asgrow 2703 and KS4202 aphid-infested plants compared to their respective uninfested control plants at 24
and 28 days after aphid introduction. Peroxidase expression profiles identified differences in the isozyme profiles of aphid-infested
and control plants for Asgrow 2703 and KS4202. Differences between physiological responses of infested KS4202 and Asgrow 2703,
particularly temporal changes in photosynthesis activity, imply that KS4202 tolerates some impacts of soybean aphid feeding
on photosynthetic integrity. 相似文献
