Chitinase isoenzymes in near-isogenic wheat lines challenged with Russian wheat aphid, exogenous ethylene, and mechanical wounding

چکیده
Russian wheat aphid (RWA) infestation, ethylene exposure, and mechanical wounding resulted in differential expression of chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) isoenzymes in near-isogenic wheat lines susceptible and resistant to the RWA. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) and non-denaturing IEF gels revealed the existence of multiple isoenzymes of chitinase with a wide range of isoelectric points, ranging from 9.7 (basic) to 3.4 (acidic). Seven bands were observed in the resistant and susceptible untreated plants (pI values of approximately 9.5, 9.2, 8.8, 8.5, 8.4, 7.8 and 5.0) on IEF gels. RWA infestation resulted in the expression of an additional band (approximately pI 5.5) whereas ethylene exposure resulted in the induction of two additional isoenzymes (approximately pI 4.1 and 6.8). Mechanical wounding also induced the isoenzyme with pI of 4.1. Isoelectrical focusing (IEF) in liquid medium confirmed the multiple isoenzymes obtained with IEF gels. Five different peaks with chitinase activity were detected in control plants (pI values of 9.2, 7.8, 5.0, 4.1, and 3.6) after IEF. RWA infestation, ethylene and mechanical wounding caused the induction of additional isoenzyme peaks. Differential expression of chitinolytic activity was also observed between the nearisogenic wheat lines.

Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia, Kurdjumov) feeding on susceptible Triticum aestivum L. leads to leaf rolling, chlorosis and plant death - symptoms not present in resistant lines. Although the effects of several D. noxia (Dn) resistance genes are known, none have been isolated or characterized. Wheat varieties expressing different Dn genes exhibit distinct modes of D. noxia resistance, suc...

The Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko)) infests wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), and other small grains and grasses. Russian wheat aphid infestations are unpredictable in time and space. In favorable conditions, Russian wheat aphid feeding can result in heavy damage to wheat and barley in a short period of time. A repetitive monitoring strategy that allow...
