“…Mn is required for the production of lectins; lectins from five different potato lines differing in resistance to Phytophthora infestans lysed zoospores of Phytophthora infestans. Concanavalin A was also active when Mn and Ca were present (54). Mn deficiency caused Pseudomonas syringae pv g/ydnea to cluster on isolated cells of resistant soybeans in a reaction similar to a susceptible (compatible) reaction rather than being uniformly distributed over the surface of isolated resistant soybean cells as is found for cells from Mn-sufficient plants (49).…”

“…Nutrient amendments may reduce disease expression by increasing resistance, or increasing tolerance to pathogens (Graham and Webb 1991). For example, manganese is required for the activity of glycoproteins (lectin), which are associated with potato resistance to Phytophthora infestans (late blight) (Garas and Kuc 1981). Boron application may reduce disease in deficient trees by improving chemical defences and improving cell wall structure and membrane stability (Dordas 2008;Lehto et al2010).…”

Systemic treatment of stems with injections of phosphite liquid and novel soluble capsule implants of phosphite, PHOSCAP® (phosphorous, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc, boron, copper, magnesium and molybdenum) and MEDICAP MD® (nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, iron, manganese, and zinc), were applied to Banksia grandis and Eucalyptus marginata trees to control Phytophthora cinnamomi. Four weeks after treatment application, excised branches were under-bark inoculated with P. cinnamomi. In B. grandis, phosphite implants and liquid injections significantly reduced lesion length compared to the control, and MEDICAP MD® implants; however, there was no significant difference in lesion length between trees treated with phosphite implants and liquid injections and PHOSCAP implants. In E. marginata, phosphite implants and liquid injections significantly reduced lesion length compared to the control, PHOSCAP® and MEDICAP MD® implants. In B. grandis and E. marginata, PHOSCAP® and MEDICAP MD® implants reduced the average lesion length compared to the control; however, the interactions were not significant. Results show that both liquid phosphite injections and novel phosphite implants are effective at controlling lesion extension in B. grandis and E. marginata, caused by P. cinnamomi. Further work is required to determine if nutrient application reduces Phytophthora disease through improving plant health.

“…Potato (S. tuberosum) tuber lectin is able to affect several phytopathogenic fungi [Garas and Kuc, 1981;Lungu et al, 1990;Gozia et al, 1993;Protsenko, 1995]. From amaranth (Amaranthus caudatus) seeds, chitin-binding and antifungal peptides were isolated [Broekaert et al, 1992].…”
