“…Alternaria has a wide range of species and hosts, including Ginkgo biloba , Metasequoia glyptostroboides , Paeonia suffruticosa , Malus domestica , Pyrus spp., Cerasus pseudocerasus , Citrus reticulata , Juglans regia and other woody trees, fruit trees, crops, Oil crops, cruciferous plants and model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. They will not only cause the most common leaf spot diseases but also fruit mildew and rot [ 6 , 7 , 8 ]. The hazards of Alternaria to plants are sufficient to explain and it is one of the main groups causing plant pathogen diseases [ 9 ].…”
Sugar, acting as a signal, can regulate the production of some chemical substance during plant defense responses. However, the molecular basis and regulatory mechanisms of sugar in poplar and other forest trees are still unclear. Sorbitol is a sugar-signaling molecule associated with plant defense. In this study, the pathogen-infested status of poplar was alleviated after exogenous feeding of 50 mM sorbitol. We sequenced and analyzed the transcriptome of poplar leaves before and after inoculation. The results showed that the genes PR1, WRKY, ceramide kinases (CERK) and so on responded to sorbitol feeding and pathogen infestation. We screened for genes related to disease resistance such as PsWRKY25 and PsCERK1 and found that significant disease spots occurred on day six of strep throat infestation. Under sorbitol feeding conditions, the appearance of spots was delayed after the pathogen inoculation. Due to the overexpression of PsWRKY25, the overexpression of PsCERK1 triggered the defense response in poplar. This was also confirmed by PsWRKY25 overexpression experiments. These findings present new insights into the influence of sorbitol on Populus simonii Carr. disease resistance. These results emphasize the value of molecular phenotypes in predicting physiological changes.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
