Induction by Salicylic Acid of Pathogenesis-related Proteins and Resistance to Alfalfa Mosaic Virus Infection in Various Plant Species
نویسنده
چکیده
Spraying tobacco plants with salicylic acid induces both the synthesis of 'pathogenesis-related' (PR) proteins and resistance to viruses that can induce necrotic lesions. We show that spraying Samsun NN tobacco with salicylic acid induced the production of PR-1 mRNAs and inhibited the systemic multiplication of alfalfa mosaic virus (A1MV) by 90%. Salicylic acid treatment also induced the synthesis of PR proteins in bean and cowpea plants, and reduced by 75 % the production of local lesions in A1MV-infected bean plants. Salicylic acid inhibited the replication of A1MV in cowpea protoplasts by up to 99%, depending on the mode of application. In A1MVinoculated cowpea protoplasts, the production of viral minus-strand RNA, plus-strand RNA and coat protein was abolished, indicating that salicylic acid inhibits an early step in the A1MV replication cycle. The viability of the cells and the synthesis of host proteins were not affected by salicylic acid. Another aromatic compound, p-coumaric acid, induced neither PR proteins nor resistance to virus infection.

The synthesis of pathogenesis-related proteins (PR proteins), induced in tobacco leaves in response to infection with tobacco mosaic virus or treatment with salicylic acid, was studied with in vivo pulse-labeling experiments. PR proteins synthesis began after a lag phase of about 8 hours in leaf discs treated with salicylic acid and after more than 18 hours in those infected with tobacco mosaic...

In a variety of plant species, the development of necrotic lesions in response to pathogen infection leads to induction of generalized disease resistance in uninfected tissues. A well-studied example of this "immunity" reaction is systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tobacco. SAR is characterized by the development of a disease-resistant state in plants that have reacted hypersensitively to pr...

The cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 2b silencing suppressor protein allows the virus to overcome resistance to replication and local movement in inoculated leaves of plants treated with salicylic acid (SA), a resistance-inducing plant hormone. In Arabidopsis thaliana plants systemically infected with CMV, the 2b protein also primes the induction of SA biosynthesis during this compatible interaction...
