background and aims: to evaluate the effect of temperature on wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) resistance phenotype, through total protein, phenol, and peroxidase activity in bread wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted using adl-cross (resistant) and marvdasht (susceptible) cultivars. materials and methods: results showed that incubation at 32c changed the gene expression for resistance ...

NH4 nutrition provokes mild toxicity by enhancing H2O2 accumulation, which acts as a signal activating systemic acquired acclimation (SAA). Until now, induced resistance mechanisms in response to an abiotic stimulus and related to SAA were only reported for exposure to a subsequent abiotic stress. Herein, the first evidence is provided that this acclimation to an abiotic stimulus induces resist...

root-knot nematodes (meloidogyne spp.) are among the most important groups of plant-parasitic nematodes, causing damage and yield losses to most cultivated plants. the bacterium pseudomonas fluorescens cha0 and the fungus trichoderma harzianum bi were investigated for biological control capability and systemic induction of resistance against the nematode m. javanica under glasshouse conditions....

Previously, we reported the generation of a virus-induced systemic signal that increased the somatic and meiotic recombination rates in tobacco mosaic virus (TMV)-infected tobacco plants. Here, we analyzed the progeny of plants that received the signal and found that these plants also have a higher frequency of rearrangements in the loci carrying the homology to LRR region of the gene of resist...

Effective biosafe management strategies are used to decrease world crop damage produced by plant-parasitic nematodes. This study evaluated the efficiency of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (n-HAP) and mycorrhizal fungi control Meloidogyne incognita infecting tomato plants. Application n-HAP significantly increased juveniles’ mortality (195.67%) egg hatching inhibition percentage (80.71%) compared ...

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a potent innate immunity system in plants and has been used in rice fields. Development of SAR, involving priming, is achieved by activation of salicylic acid (SA)-mediated pathway. To determine whether heat shock (HS) treatment can induce SAR, we analyzed the effects of HS on Arabidopsis. HS treatment induced disease resistance, expression of SAR marker ge...
