“…Malate dehydrogenase, an important malate metabolizing enzyme, has been associated with plant defense, suggesting that the increased abundance of this enzyme can provide resources for biosynthesis of defense compounds (Rhodes et al, 1968; Walter et al, 1988; Casati et al, 1999). In a previous study, one MDH showed increased abundance in brassica–Xcc resistant interaction and was associated with the activation of photosynthetic metabolism (Villeth et al, 2016). Other metabolism proteins such as fructose-1,6-biphosphate, cytosolic EC 3.1.3.11 (A0A0D3BSL1), basic endochitinase CHI-B4-like, EC 3.2.1.14 (A0A0D3B6J8; A0A0D3BPL2) and UDP-arabinopyranose mutase 1-like (A0A0D3B9D8), were increased in RI (9-, 12-, 9- and 6-fold, respectively) and the first two (A0A0D3BSL1 and A0A0D3B6J8) were decreased in SI (28- and 12-fold, respectively), while UDP-arabinopyranose level was unchanged in SI.…”
