Abstract: | In order to clarify the mechanism of induced resistance to blast disease in rice, Oryza sativa, that had been previously infested by the white-backed planthopper, Sogatella furcifera Horváth, we first investigated the accumulation of salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) in rice plants infested by the planthopper.
The results confirmed that infestation of S. furcifera strongly stimulates the production of SA and JA in rice. These results indicate that both salicylate- and jasmonate-mediated pathways (SA and JA pathways), which are involved in
the general defense system in plants, were activated in rice infested by S. furcifera. Further results confirmed that S. furcifera infestation induces accumulation of a major rice diterpenoid phytoalexin, momilactone A, and a flavonoid phytoalexin, sakuranetin,
which are well known as antimicrobial chemicals, particularly in blast disease caused by the blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae B. Couch. All these results strongly suggest the following hypothetical mechanism of induced-resistance to M. oryzae in rice infested by S. furcifera. First, S. furcifera releases some elicitor-active compounds, which might be produced in the salivary glands, into the rice plant during feeding.
Next, the defense signal systems, SA- and JA-mediated pathways, are activated by the elicitor. Finally, phytoalexins are induced
in rice as antimicrobial compounds mainly through activation of the JA-mediated pathway. |
