Constitutive expression of pathogenesis-related proteins and antioxydant enzyme activities triggers maize resistance towards Fusarium verticillioides

Expression and functional analysis of a PR-1 Gene,MuPR1, involved in disease resistance response in mulberry (Morus multicaulis)

“…Previous studies showed that the transcription and translation level of PR1 was significantly increased in the plants under biotic stresses (Ali et al 2018b;Shi et al 2019;Tunsagool et al 2019;Yang et al 2019). When the PR1 genes were overexpressed in different plants, the transgenic plants generally exhibit enhanced increased disease resistance toward many plant disease-causing bacteria, fungi, and even viruses, and conversely, the PR1 gene silenced plants showed more susceptibility than wild-type to pathogen infection (Cutt et al 1989;Rivière et al 2008;Kusajima et al 2010;Dolatabadi et al 2014;Gao et al 2015;Jiang et al 2015;Maschietto et al 2016;Liu et al 2019). However, up to now, there is no definite evidence that PR1 proteins directly inhibit pathogen growth (Pečenková et al, 2017).…”

Pseudomonas fluorescens MZ05 Enhances Resistance against Setosphaeria turcica by Mediating Benzoxazinoid Metabolism in the Maize Inbred Line Anke35

“…Indole-3-glycerol phosphate (IGP) has been well documented to be the pivotal precursor for synthesizing Trp-independent indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and BXs [11,12]. In some species of the grasses (Poaceae), BXs can be produced considerably during the early stages of plant growth, and gradually decline as the plant matures [13]. Many studies have revealed positive correlations between the BX levels and plant resistance [7,14,15].…”

Priming to protect maize from Fusarium verticillioides and its fumonisin accumulation

“…Interestingly, plant response did not induce a reaction of the used strain of F. verticillioides through higher production of fumonisins, but a lower rate of fumonisin accumulation per unit of fungal biomass. Production of oxidative stress protectors is known to be activated (accumulation of stress‐related proteins, constitutive expression of pathogenesis‐related proteins and antioxidant enzyme activities) as maize response to F. verticillioides infection of maize in embryos and adult plants, triggering maize resistance towards this fungus . Ferrigo et al .…”

“…Production of oxidative stress protectors is known to be activated (accumulation of stress-related proteins, constitutive expression of pathogenesis-related proteins and antioxidant enzyme activities) as maize response to F. verticillioides infection of maize in embryos and adult plants, triggering maize resistance towards this fungus. 30,31 Ferrigo et al 32 observed divergent behaviours in F. verticillioides populations faced with oxidative stress induced by H 2 O 2 . Other strains could react differently than the Spanish one tested here, and a large panel of strains should be tested in further works.…”
