Phenotypic analysis of Arabidopsis mutants: trypan blue stain for fungi, oomycetes, and dead plant cells.
نویسنده
چکیده
INTRODUCTIONTrypan blue stains vasculature, dead plant cells, and fungal and oomycete hyphae. It is useful for assessing the extent of colonization of tissue, and for detecting microlesions present in certain lesion-mimic mutants. Trypan blue staining requires chloral hydrate for destaining, which is inconvenient, because it is a controlled substance. The chloral hydrate can be replaced with 1:2 lactophenol:ethanol, but the background staining will be higher than it is when chloral hydrate is used.

Arabidopsis gp91phox homologues AtrbohD and AtrbohF are required for accumulation of reactive oxygen intermediates in the plant defense response.
Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) are strongly associated with plant defense responses. The origin of these ROI has been controversial. Arabidopsis respiratory burst oxidase homologues (rboh genes) have been proposed to play a role in ROI generation. We analyzed lines carrying dSpm insertions in the highly expressed AtrbohD and AtrbohF genes. Both are required for full ROI production observed...

The electronic form of this issue, available as of April 11, 2012, at www.plantphysiol.org, is considered the journal of record. On the Cover: Plant pathogenic fungi, such as the grey mold Botrytis cinerea, have a very broad host range and cause enormous economic damage in preand postharvest crop losses worldwide. In accordance with its necrotrophic life style, B. cinerea initially kills host p...
متن کاملOverexpression of an endogenous thionin enhances resistance of Arabidopsis against Fusarium oxysporum.
Thionins are antimicrobial proteins that are thought to be involved in plant defense. Concordant with this view, we have recently shown that the Arabidopsis thionin Thi2.1 gene is inducible by phytopathogenic fungi. Here, we demonstrate that constitutive overexpression of this thionin enhances the resistance of the susceptible ecotype Columbia (Col-2) against attack by Fusarium oxysporum f sp m...
متن کاملThe Piriformospora indica effector PIIN_08944 promotes the mutualistic Sebacinalean symbiosis
Pathogenic and mutualistic microbes actively suppress plant defense by secreting effector proteins to manipulate the host responses for their own benefit. Current knowledge about fungal effectors has been mainly derived from biotrophic and hemibiotrophic plant pathogenic fungi and oomycetes with restricted host range. We studied colonization strategies of the root endophytic basidiomycete Pirif...
متن کاملMolecular genetic control of leaf lifespan in plants - A review
Leaf senescence constitutes the last stage of leaf development in plants and proceeds through a highly regulated program in order to redistribution of micro- and macro-nutrients from the senescing leaves to the developing/growing plant organs. Initiation and progression of leaf senescence is accompanied by massive sequential alterations at various levels of leaf biology including leaf morpholog...
