Abstract: | Summary. Immunoblot analysis and immunogold labeling of PR-1 protein (pathogenesis-related protein 1) in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) were performed to examine the temporal and spatial expression patterns of PR-1 protein induced by Phytophthora capsici infection. Soluble proteins with molecular masses of 10, 17, 25, 27 and 75 kDa were induced and accumulated in P. capsici-infected stem tissues during the compatible and incompatible interactions. Western blot analysis revealed that expression
of PR-1 protein (17 kDa), at 12 to 24 h after inoculation, occurred earlier in the incompatible than in the compatible interaction.
Immunogold labeling of PR-1 proteins occurred over cell walls and cytoplasm of the host and the oomycete pathogen and at the
interface between host and oomycete cell walls at 24 h after inoculation in the compatible interaction. In the incompatible
interaction, numerous PR-1 proteins accumulated predominantly over oomycete cell walls and at the interface between host and
oomycete cell walls. The quantity of PR-1 proteins deposited in both host and oomycete cells was much less in the compatible
than the incompatible interaction. Healthy tomato stem tissue was nearly free of immunogold labeling of PR-1 proteins.
