M ichael Storck and M aria D. Sacristán Institut für Angewandte Genetik, Albrecht-Thaer-Weg 6, D-14195 Berlin, Bundesrepublik Deutschland Z. Naturforsch. 50c, 15-20 (1995); received September 19, 1994 Brassica spp., Sinapis arvensis, Leptosphaeria maculans, Resistance, Indole Phytoalexins Brassica juncea, Brassica carinata and Sinapis arvensis resistant lines to Leptosphaeria maculans and four Brassica napus cuitivars susceptible to this pathogen in seedling stage were analyzed in relation to the accumulation of phytoalexins after inoculation with L. maculans. Cotyledon inoculations with spore suspensions of an aggressive and a non-aggressive isolate of L. maculans were performed on seedlings of these lines. The quantity of accumulated phytoalexins in the cotyledons was determined at different time intervals after inoculation. The content and composition of phytoalexins differed considerably among the tested species and according to the fungal isolate used. In the tested Brassica species seedling resistance against L. maculans could not be related to phytoalexin accumulation. However, in Sinapis arvensis phytoalexins might contribute to the resistance reaction to this pathogen.

بررسی مقاومت برخی ارقام و گونههای جنس براسیکا نسبت به عامل بیماری ساق سیاه کلزا Leptosphaeria maculans
Leptosphaeria maculans causes blackleg disease on Brassica oilseedcrops, which globally is one of the great threats for oilseed production. In order to determine virulence types of this fungi, several isolates were collected from canola fields in Mazandaran and Golestan provinces, Totally 12 isolates were selected and tested by three standard (definitional) cultivars including Westar, Quinta an...

Brassilexin and sinalexin are among the most potent antifungal phytoalexins produced by crucifer plants. Nonetheless, the crucifer pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans(Desm.) Ces. et de Not. (asexual stage Phoma lingam(Tode ex Fr.) Desm.) is able to detoxify these phytoalexins. To understand and control these reactions, the elusive brassilexin and sinalexin detoxification pathways in L. maculans wer...

Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is a major threat to canola production in Canada. With the exception of China, L. maculans is present in areas around the world where cruciferous crops are grown. The pathogen can cause trade barriers in international canola seed export due to its potential risk as a seed contaminant. The most recent example is China restricting canola seeds imported ...

Canola (Brassica napus L.) is the second largest cash crop in Canada (4). Blackleg disease, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans (Desmaz.) Ces. & De Not. (anamorph = Phoma lingam (Tode:Fr.) Desmaz.), is one of most economically important diseases of canola (21). In the past decade, canola production has expanded significantly worldwide and interest in the blackleg fungus, particularly its biology, ...
متن کاملThe receptor-like kinase SOBIR1 interacts with Brassica napus LepR3 and is required for Leptosphaeria maculans AvrLm1-triggered immunity
The fungus Leptosphaeria maculans (L. maculans) is the causal agent of blackleg disease of canola/oilseed rape (Brassica napus) worldwide. We previously reported cloning of the B. napus blackleg resistance gene, LepR3, which encodes a receptor-like protein. LepR3 triggers localized cell death upon recognition of its cognate Avr protein, AvrLm1. Here, we exploited the Nicotiana benthamiana model...
