Temperature induced susceptibility to Phytophthora sojae in soybean isolines carrying different Rps genes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resistance of soybean plants to specific races of Phytophthora sojae is conditioned by a series of host resistance (Rps) genes. Soybean cultivars that are resistant to certain races of the pathogen may nonetheless be susceptible to infection at elevated temperatures. The objective of this study was to determine if certain resistance genes are invariably associated with temperature induced susceptibility. Nine different resistance genes (Rps1-a, Rps1-b, Rps1-c, Rps1-k, Rps2, Rps3-a, Rps4, Rps5 and Rps6) were tested for temperature induced susceptibility in Williams isolines and 10 different resistance genes (Rps1-a, Rps1-b, Rps1-c, Rps1-d, Rps1-k, Rps2, Rps3-a, Rps4, Rps5 and Rps6) in Harosoy isolines. Three other soybean cultivars or lines carrying the Rps1-c gene were also examined. Resistance or susceptibility was determined by inoculating 7-day-old etiolated seedlings with a zoospore suspension isolated from P. sojae race 1, and incubating the inoculated plants at 25 or 33 °C. The results suggest that temperature induced susceptibility is generally consistent for specific Rps genes, regardless of genetic background. However, for soybean plants that carry more than one Rps gene, temperature induced changes in host-pathogen compatibility may not be readily predictable. We also show that a short pre-inoculation treatment of 44 °C may induce susceptibility in plants that are not considered to be temperature sensitive. This indicates that temperature induced changes in disease resistance may occur through different mechanisms, depending on the severity of the temperature stress. # 1996 Academic Press Limited

Phytophthora stem and root rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, is one of the most destructive diseases of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], and the incidence of this disease has been increasing in several soybean-producing areas around the world. This presents serious limitations for soybean production, with yield losses from 4 to 100%. The most effective method to reduce damage would be to grow...

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) caused by Phytophthora sojae is a major soybean disease that causes severe economic losses worldwide. Using soybean cultivars carrying a Rps resistance gene is the most effective strategy for controlling this disease. We previously detected a novel Phytophthora resistance gene, RpsZS18, on chromosome 2 of the soybean cultivar Zaoshu18. The aim of the present study wa...

Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete responsible for seed, root and stem rot of soybean plants. Managing this disease relies on growing soybean cultivars with race-specific resistance (Rps) genes that deliver complete host immunity in the presence of corresponding pathogen avirulence (Avr) effector proteins. The aims of this study were to characterize virulence towards Rps2 among different P. soja...

The perception of Phytophthora sojae avirulence (Avr) gene products by corresponding soybean resistance (Rps) gene products causes effector triggered immunity. Past studies have shown that the Avr3a and Avr5 genes of P. sojae are genetically linked, and the Avr3a gene encoding a secreted RXLR effector protein was recently identified. We now provide evidence that Avr3a and Avr5 are allelic. Gene...
