Kiwifruit Resistance to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae and Defence Induction by Acibenzolar-S-methyl and Methyl Jasmonate Are Cultivar Dependent
Pathogen susceptibility and defence gene inducibility were compared between the Actinidia arguta cultivar ‘Hortgem Tahi’ and the two cultivars of A. chinensis ‘Hayward’ and ‘Zesy002′. Plants were treated with acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) one week before inoculation with Pseu...

Sumario: | Pathogen susceptibility and defence gene inducibility were compared between the Actinidia arguta cultivar ‘Hortgem Tahi’ and the two cultivars of A. chinensis ‘Hayward’ and ‘Zesy002′. Plants were treated with acibenzolar-s-methyl (ASM) or methyl jasmonate (MeJA) one week before inoculation with Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa biovar3) or Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, or secondary induction with chitosan+glucan (Ch-Glu) as a potential pathogen proxy. Defence expression was evaluated by measuring the expression of 18 putative defence genes. ‘Hortgem Tahi’ was highly susceptible to sclerotinia and very resistant to Psa, whereas ‘Zesy002′ was highly resistant to both, and ‘Hayward’ was moderately susceptible to both. Gene expression in ‘Hayward’ and ‘Zesy002′ was alike but differed significantly from ‘Hortgem Tahi’ which had higher basal levels of PR1-i, PR5-i, JIH1, NPR3 and WRKY70 but lower expression of RD22 and PR2-i. Treatment with ASM caused upregulation of NIMIN2, PR1-i, WRKY70, DMR6 and PR5-i in all cultivars and induced resistance to Psa in ‘Zesy002′ and ‘Hayward’ but decreased resistance to sclerotinia in ‘Zesy002′. MeJA application caused upregulation of LOX2 and downregulation of NIMIN2, DMR6 and PR2-i but did not affect disease susceptibility. The Ch-Glu inducer induced PR-gene families in each cultivar, highlighting its possible effectiveness as an alternative to actual pathogen inoculation. The significance of variations in fundamental and inducible gene expression among the cultivars is explored. |
