Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is attacked by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato causing heavy damage to the crops. The present study focused on the application of aqueous fruit extracts of neem (Azadirachta indica L.) on a single node of aseptically raised tomato plants. Observations were done, and the changes in the activity and isoenzyme profile of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and lysozyme, both at the site of treatment as well as away from it, were noted. The results demonstrate that neem extract could significantly induce the activities of both the enzymes as well as upregulate the de novo expression of additional PPO isoenzymes. Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) by natural plant extracts is a potent eco-friendly crop protection method.
Biocontrol of plant diseases has emerged as an eco-friendly measure of plant protection and has experienced a lot of devotion in the last two decades. Biocontrol agents include application of microbial agents, their secretion products and natural extracts from different parts of several plants. The present study, therefore, aimed at evaluating the potency of aqueous extracts of Tagetes erecta L. (marigold) in controlling bacterial speck disease in tomato plants. The experimental design consisted of two groups of 50 plants each: group 1 – sprayed with sterile water (control); and group 2 – sprayed with marigold extract. Spraying was performed under aseptic conditions at the third node from the base of each plant. Challenge inoculation with the bacterial speck pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato was performed to analyze the disease severity on the test plants. The parameters of study were analysis of alteration in the activity and gene expression of peroxidase (POX), phenyl ammonia lyase (PAL), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO), as well as isoform expression of POX and PPO. The results demonstrated strong inductive effects of the extract on the activity and genes of POX, PAL and PPO. De novo expression of POX and PPO isoforms following marigold extract treatment was also observed. The observations indicate that marigold extract could be a promising biopesticide.
Barley phylloplane is seriously colonized by Drechslera graminea, the causal agent of leaf stripe disease in the hos. The present study involved the elucidation of alterations induced in the protein content of the host due to Drechslera infection. Naturally growing barley plants were obtained from fields and Drechslera graminea was isolated and identified from diseased plants’ leaves. After identification and preparation of the pure culture, the pathogen was inoculated on plants grown under aseptic and controlled laboratory conditions. Changes in the total soluble cytoplasmic proteins and defense enzymes of the host such as polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POX), phenylalanine lyase (PAL) and tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) were observed up to 5 h after inoculation. The results demonstrated a significant effect of the pathogen on the cytoplasmic protein expression of the host as well as in its defense system.
