Effects of acibenzolar-s-methyl, an inducer of systemic acquired resistance in plants, on Rotylenchulus reniformis and Meloidogyne javanica in vitro and in vivo were determined. A single foliar application of acibenzolar at 50 mg/liter (5 ml of solution per plant) to 7-day-old cowpea or soybean seedlings decreased R. reniformis and M. javanica egg production by 50% 30 days after inoculation. Th...

The potency of the inducers of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), acibenzolar-s-methyl, DL-alpha-amino-n-butyric acid (AABA), DL-beta-amino-n-butyric acid (BABA), gamma-amino-n-butyric acid (GABA), p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), riboflavin, and salicylic acid (SA), in reducing reproduction of Meloidogyne javanica and Rotylenchulus reniformis in pineapple was investigated. All inducers were applie...

Priming of defence genes for amplified response to secondary stress can be induced by application of the plant hormone salicylic acid or its synthetic analogue acibenzolar S-methyl. In this study, we show that treatment with acibenzolar S-methyl or pathogen infection of distal leaves induce chromatin modifications on defence gene promoters that are normally found on active genes, although the g...

Tomato spotted wilt tospovirus (TSWV) is a major economic threat to tobacco production in Georgia. Several thrips species are reported as vectors of TSWV, and three of these species are observed on Georgia tobacco, Frankliniella fusca (Hinds), F. occidentalis (Pergande), and F. bispinosa (Morgan). This study evaluated several thrips control practices for efficacy and suppressing the incidence o...

Acibenzolar acid, the first metabolite formed in planta from defence inducer acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM), has been shown to be an inhibitor of enzyme shikimate hydroxycinnamoyltransferase (HST), extracted grapevine or tobacco cell suspension cultures. Using a purified recombinant Arabidopsis thaliana HST, inhibition was found competitive, acibenzolar acid binding reversibly site HST:p-coumaroyl-...

Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) is a synthetic functional analog of salicylic acid which can induce systemic acquired resistance in plants, but its effects on abiotic stress tolerance is not well known. The objectives of this study were to examine effects of acibenzolar-S-methyl on heat or drought tolerance in creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) and to determine major ASM-responsive metabolite...

Acibenzolar-S-methyl (BTH), bitkilerde zararlı böceklere karşı dayanıklılık veya savunmanın tetiklenmesinde ticari olarak kullanılan, yeni nesil etkili maddelerin ilk temsilcilerinden birisidir. BTH’ın böceklerin kontrolünde kullanımı hakkında yapılan çalışmalar sınırlı görünmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Dekalp mısır (Zea mays Linnaeus (Poales: Poaceae)) çeşidi, çevre dostu-bitkisel BTH içerikli bir ...

Centella asiatica is a perrenial herb that grows in tropical regions with numerous medicinal properties mostly attributed to the presence of pentacyclic triterpenoids. Interestingly, this plant also possess a significant amount of phenylpropanoid-derived chlorogenic acids (CGAs) that have recently been reported to confer neuroprotective properties. In a biotechnological attempt to increase the ...

Acibenzolar-S-methyl (ASM) is a novel fungicide applied for crop protection. A renewable silver amalgam film electrode was used for the determination of ASM in pH 3.4 Britton Robinson buffer using square wave adsorptive stripping voltammetry (SWAdSV). The parameters of the method were optimized. The electroanalytical procedure made possible to determine ASM in the concentration range of 5 10 –3...
