Relation of “Antimicrobial” Compounds Present in Poplar Bud Exudate to Disease Resistance by Poplars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bud exudates from 9 poplars showing a range o f resistance to bacterial canker and poplar rust were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the components o f the bud exudate identified. Those compounds previously reported in the literature to have notable antimicrobial activity were listed and the quantities present in the bud exudates o f the speci mens analyzed were compared. N o correlation was observed between the amounts o f these compounds and the known resistance o f the poplars to bacterial canker or rusts.

Propolis is a mixture of wax, sugars and plant exudates used by bees as a general purpose glue and sealant within hives. There is a long history of medicinal usage of propolis although propolis can cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals [1, 2]. Various components of propolis have been assessed for their antimicrobial properties [3—7], Components identified as having antimicrobial p...
متن کاملExpression of the Arabidopsis mutant ABI1 gene alters abscisic acid sensitivity, stomatal development, and growth morphology in gray poplars.
The consequences of altered abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity in gray poplar (Populus x canescens [Ait.] Sm.) development were examined by ectopic expression of the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutant abi1 (for abscisic acid insensitive1) gene. The expression resulted in an ABA-insensitive phenotype revealed by a strong tendency of abi1 poplars to wilt, impaired responsiveness of their stom...

Wood from biomass plantations with fast growing tree species such as poplars can be used as an alternative feedstock for production of biofuels. To facilitate utilization of lignocellulose for saccharification, transgenic poplars with modified or reduced lignin contents may be useful. However, the potential impact of poplars modified in the lignification pathway on ectomycorrhizal (EM) fungi, w...

Poplars are extensively cultivated worldwide, and their susceptibility to the leaf rust fungus Melampsora larici-populina leads to considerable damages in plantations. Despite a good knowledge of the poplar rust life cycle, and particularly the epidemics on poplar, the perennial status of the plant host and the obligate biotrophic lifestyle of the rust fungus are bottlenecks for molecular inves...
