Development of transgenic plants by introducing defense genes is one of the strategies to engineer disease resistance. Transgenic ASD16 rice plants harbouring rice chitinase chi11 gene, belonging to a PR-3 group of defense gene conferring sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn) resistance, were used in this study. Three T2 homozygous lines (ASD16-4-1-1, 5-1-1, and 6-1-1) were identified from seven putative (T0) transgenic lines expressing chi11 using Western blotting analysis. The inheritance of sheath blight resistance in those lines was studied over generations. The stability of chi11 expression up to T4 generation in all the three homozygous lines was proved by Western blot and the stability of sheath blight resistance in the homozygous lines was proved up to T4 generation using detached leaf and intact leaf sheath assays. Among the three homozygous lines tested, ASD16-4-1-1 showed consistent results in all the generations and gave a better protection against the sheath blight pathogen than the other two lines. 相似文献

The postharvest anthracnose pathogen Colletotrichum gloeosporioides inciting latent or quiescent infection of mango was detected in early stages using immunoassay methods. Twenty‐five pathotypes isolated from different agroclimatic zones of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Pondicherry, India, revealed the variation in protein profile analysis (SDS‐PAGE). The polyclonal antibodies (PCA) were raised against the unfractioned mycelial protein (UMP) and a 40‐kDa polypeptide present in all pathotypes. Standardization of antigen and antiserum dilutions revealed that an antigen dilution of 1 : 200 (protein concentration of 20 μg/ml) and antiserum dilution of 1 : 100 (protein concentration of 40 μg/ml raised against UMP) and 1 : 200 (protein concentration of 20 μg/ml raised against 40 kDa polypeptide) was found to be optimum for the detection of anthracnose pathogen. Both antisera detected the C. gloeosporioides antigen in enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), dot immunobinding assays (DIBAs) and Western blots. The specificity in reaction was compared by isolating other Colletotrichum spp. from various hosts viz., C. lindemuthianum (beans), C. falcatum (sugarcane), C. musae (banana), C. capsici (chillies) and Botryodiplodia theobromae (mango). The antisera generated against UMP revealed the cross‐reaction with other host isolates and mango stem end rot pathogen (B. theobromae). The PCA raised against 40‐kDa polypeptide exhibited the specific reaction with C. gloeosporioides isolates in all the immunoassay techniques. By utilizing both PCA, the presence of latent infection was observed in healthy‐looking leaves, flowers and fruits in orchard conditions. The fruit tissues recorded high absorbance values followed by flowers and leaves in all the detection methods. The ELISA technique was also useful in assessing the pathogen inoculum at various biocontrol formulations sprayed mango trees under field conditions. The fluorescent pseudomonad strains mixture (KFP1 + FP7) amended with chitin sprayed at 30‐day intervals revealed the significant reduction in pathogen load than other formulations and unsprayed control. 相似文献

A combined strategy of chilli fruit rot and powdery mildew control consisting of reduced fungicide dose and biological control with antagonistic Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf1) was evaluated. The sensitivity of P. fluorescens to fungicide azoxystrobin at different concentrations (100, 150, 200, 250 and 300 ppm) was tested by turbidometric method. The grown bacterium (Pf1) was tolerant to all concentrations of azoxystrobin. In two field trials, Pf1 tested in combination with reduced concentration of azoxystrobin was highly efficient in management of both diseases of chilli. Biological control of Colletotrichum capsici and Leveillula taurica with P. fluorescens (Pf1) was effective but less so than fungicide alone at the standard dose. However, combination of the biological control agent with a 50% reduction of fungicide dose was as effective as the standard fungicide alone. Application of P. fluorescens along with azoxystrobin significantly increased the survival of Pf1 in the phylloplane of chilli. Further, there were ‘twofold’ increases in activities of peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, β-1,3-glucanase, chitinase and phenolics in plants treated with Pf1 plus azoxystrobin. 相似文献

The Pseudomonas fluorescens isolate 1 (Pf1) was found to protect the ragi [Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertner] blast fungus, Pyricularia grisea. Induction of defense proteins viz. chitinase, β-1,3 glucanase, peroxidase (PO) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) by the Pf1 isolate was studied against P. grisea. Chitinase in a resistant, susceptible and commonly used cultivar with and without challenge inoculation of P. grisea, revealed changes in the isoform pattern by UV illumination after staining the gel with fluorescent brightner 28. Native
PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) of PO showed the single isoform in all the treatments including the control and
a significant increase in the intensity of the band in the inoculated control and Pf1 treatment in all the varieties. Isoform
analysis of PPO showed the induction of PPO in P. fluorescens treated plants challenged with P. grisea. 相似文献

Plant growth promoting fluorescent pseudomonad strains Pf1, TDK1 and PY15 were evaluated for their efficacy against leaffolder ( Cnaphalocrocis medinalis ) pest in rice plants under field conditions individually and in combinations. Application of mixtures of Pseudomonas fluorescens strains Pf1, TDK1 and PY15 significantly reduced the leaffolder damage in rice plants compared with untreated control. Interestingly, natural enemy population in plots treated with P. fluorescens was greater than the chemical and untreated controls. Further, support for these results was gathered by assaying activities of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and lipoxygenase (LOX) under glasshouse conditions. The results showed the higher activity of PPO and LOX in plants treated with P. fluorescens mixtures (Pf1 + TDK1 + PY15) than the plants treated with individual strains, chemical and untreated controls. Further, fluorescent pseudomonad mixtures increased the rice yield compared with individual strain and non-bacterized treatments. The present study reveals that in addition to plant growth promotion, plant growth-promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) strains-mediated induction of PPO and LOX in rice plants could be involved in enhanced natural enemy populations and resistance mechanisms against leaffolder attack. 相似文献

Strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens were investigated for biocontrol efficacy against tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in tomato both alone and in mixtures. P. fluorescens strains applied to seed, soil and foliage or as a seedling dip significantly reduced TSWV, with a concomitant increase in growth promotion in both the glasshouse and field. Two native strains (CoP-1 and CoT-1) and one foreign strain (CHAO) reduced TSWV. In P. fluorescens-treated tomato plants, increased activity of polyphenol oxidase, β-1,3-glucanase and chitinase was observed, and induction of chitinase was confirmed by western blot analysis. Induction of new protein (18 kDa) detected by SDS-PAGE in P. fluorescens-treated tomato plants was not found in healthy and P. fluorescens-untreated virus inoculated control plants. Indirect ELISA clearly showed a reduction in viral antigen concentration in P. fluorescens-treated tomato plants corresponding to reduced disease ratings. All the P. fluorescens-treated tomato plants also showed enhanced growth and yield compared to control plants. Hence, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could play a major role in reducing TSWV and increasing yield in tomato plants. 相似文献

Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of an elite indica rice variety, Pusa Basmati 1, was performed using LBA4404 (pSB1, pMKU-RF2) that harbours a rice chitinase gene (chi11) under the control of the maize ubiquitin (Ubi1) promoter-intron. Right border (gus) and left border (hph) flanking sequences and the transgene (chi11) in the middle of the T-DNA were used as probes in Southern analysis. Out of eleven independent T0 plants regenerated, three had single copy T-DNA insertions and eight had multiple T-DNA insertions. Nine T0 plants carried the complete T-DNA with the chitinase transgene. Two T0 plants did not carry chi11, though they had other T-DNA portions. Three plants harbouring single copy insertions and one plant harbouring two inserted copies were analyzed in detail. A segregation ratio of 3:1, reflecting T-DNA insertion at a single locus, was observed in the progeny of all the four T0 plants. Northern and western blot analyses of T1 plants revealed constitutive expression of chitinase at high levels. Bioassays of T1 plants indicated enhanced resistance to the sheath blight pathogen, Rhizoctonia solani, in comparison to control plants. A homozygous transgenic line was established from one T0 line, which exhibited the maximum resistance to R. solani. 相似文献

Background
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR), Pseudomonas fluorescens strain KH-1 was found to exhibit plant growth promotional activity in rice under both in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. But the mechanism underlying such promotional activity of P. fluorescens is not yet understood clearly. In this study, efforts were made to elucidate the molecular responses of rice plants to P. fluorescens treatment through protein profiling. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis strategy was adopted to identify the PGPR responsive proteins and the differentially expressed proteins were analyzed by mass spectrometry. 相似文献9.

Plant growth promoting bacterial (PGPB) strains Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf1 and endophytic Bacillus subtilis EPB5, EPB22, EPB 31 were tested for their capacity to induce water stress related proteins and enzymes in green gram (Vigna radiata) plants. Among the different bacteria used, P. fluorescens Pf1 increased the vigour index, fresh weight and dry weight of green gram seedlings in vitro. Quantitative and qualitative
analyses of stress-related enzymes indicated the greater activity of catalase and peroxidase in green gram plants bacterized
with P. fluorescens Pf1 against water stress when compared to untreated plants. The greater accumulation of proline was recorded in Pf1 treated
plants compared to untreated plants. The pot culture study revealed the greater resistance to water stress by green gram plants
treated with P. fluorescens Pf1 compared to untreated plants. The greater activity of stress-related enzymes in green gram plants mediated by PGPB could
pave the way for developing drought management strategies. 相似文献

An extracellular, hydrophilic, thermostable phytotoxin was purified to homogeneity from culture fluids of Sarocladium oryzae and sheath rot infected rice plants. The phytotoxin was purified by solvent extraction, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and HPLC. Toxicity was evaluated with detached leaf sheath and electrolyte leakage bioassays. Purified phytotoxin induced visible symptoms of the disease, when applied to rice sheath even at a low concentration of 5?μg. The toxin is a glycoprotein with carbohydrate as major component. The importances of the carbohydrate moiety for toxic activity was indicated by inactivation of toxic compound after periodate oxidation. The toxin caused lesions on a number of other monocots and dicots and proved to be non-host specific. This is the first report of the purification and characterization of S. oryzae toxin from in vitro and in vivo and we propose its name SO-toxin. 相似文献
