Differential effects of phenylalanine ammonia lyase, cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase, and energetic metabolism inhibition on resistance of appropriate host and nonhost cereal-rust interactions

ABSTRACT Effects of phenylpropanoid and energetic metabolism inhibition on resistance were studied during appropriate host and nonhost cereal-rust interactions. In the appropriate barley-Puccinia hordei interaction, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) inhibition reduced penetration resistance in two genotypes, suggesting a role for phenolics and lignins in resistance. Interestingly, penetration resistance of the barley genotype 17.5.16 was not affected by phenylpropanoid biosynthesis but penetration resistance was almost completely inhibited by D-mannose, which reduces the energy available in plant host cells. This suggests a parallel in the cellular basis of penetration resistance between 17.5.16 rust and mlo barleys powdery mildew interaction. Results revealed differing patterns of programmed cell death (PCD) in appropriate versus nonhost rust interactions. PAL and CAD inhibitors reduced PCD (hypersensitivity) in appropriate interactions. Conversely, they had no effect in PCD of wheat to P. hordei; whereas D-mannose dramatically reduced nonhost resistance and allowed colony establishment. The differential effects of inhibitors in the expression of the different resistances and the commonalities with the cereal-powdery mildew interaction is analyzed and discussed.     

Genetics of resistance to wheat leaf rust, stem rust, and powdery mildew in Aegilops sharonensis

Aegilops sharonensis (Sharon goatgrass) is a wild relative of wheat and a rich source of genetic diversity for disease resistance. The objectives of this study were to determine the genetic basis of leaf rust, stem rust, and powdery mildew resistance in A. sharonensis and also the allelic relationships between genes controlling resistance to each disease. Progeny from crosses between resistant and susceptible accessions were evaluated for their disease reaction at the seedling and/or adult plant stage to determine the number and action of genes conferring resistance. Two different genes conferring resistance to leaf rust races THBJ and BBBB were identified in accessions 1644 and 603. For stem rust, the same single gene was found to confer resistance to race TTTT in accessions 1644 and 2229. Resistance to stem rust race TPMK was conferred by two genes in accessions 1644 and 603. A contingency test revealed no association between genes conferring resistance to leaf rust race THBJ and stem rust race TTTT or between genes conferring resistance to stem rust race TTTT and powdery mildew isolate UM06-01, indicating that the respective resistance genes are not linked. Three accessions (1644, 2229, and 1193) were found to carry a single gene for resistance to powdery mildew. Allelism tests revealed that the resistance gene in accession 1644 is different from the respective single genes present in either 2229 or 1193. The simple inheritance of leaf rust, stem rust, and powdery mildew resistance in A. sharonensis should simplify the transfer of resistance to wheat in wide crosses.

Ontogenic resistance and plant disease management: a case study of grape powdery mildew

ABSTRACT A fundamental principle of integrated pest management is that actions taken to manage disease should be commensurate with the risk of infection and loss. One of the less-studied factors that determines this risk is ontogenic, or age-related resistance of the host. Ontogenic resistance may operate at the whole plant level or in specific organs or tissues. Until recently, grape berries were thought to remain susceptible to powdery mildew (Uncinula necator) until late in their development. However, the development of ontogenic resistance is actually quite rapid in berries, and fruit become nearly immune to infection within 4 weeks after fruit set. Our objective was to determine how and at what stage the pathogen was halted in the infection process on ontogenically resistant berries. Adhesion of conidia, germination, and appressorium formation were not impeded on older berries. However, once berries were approximately 3 weeks old and older, few germlings were able to form secondary hyphae. Ontogenically resistant berries responded rapidly to infection by synthesis of a germin-like protein that had been previously shown to play a role in host defense against barley powdery mildew. On susceptible berries, cell discoloration around penetration sites indicated the oxidation of phenolic compounds; a process that was followed by localized cell death. However, the pathogen was still able to infect such cells prior to their death, continue secondary growth, and thereby colonize young berries. Formation of papillae was not involved in the differential resistance mechanism of older berries. In susceptible berries, papillae formed frequently at infection sites but did not always contain the pathogen, whereas in resistant berries, the pathogen was always halted prior to the formation of papillae. The host defense, which conditions ontogenic resistance, operates in the earliest stages of the infection process, in the absence of gross anatomical barriers, prior to the formation of a functional haustorium and prior to the development of a conspicuous penetration pore. We also found that diffuse powdery mildew colonies that were not visible in the field predisposed berries to bunch rot by Botrytis cinerea, increased the levels of infestation by spoilage microorganisms, and substantially degraded wine quality. Our improved understanding of the nature, causes, and stability of ontogenic resistance in the grapevine/ powdery mildew system has supported substantial changes in how fungicides are used to control the disease. Present applications are more focused on the period of maximum fruit susceptibility instead of following a calendar-based schedule. This has improved control, reduced losses, and in many cases reduced the number of fungicide applications required to suppress the disease. Particularly where fungicides are deployed in a programmatic fashion and ontogenic resistance is dynamic, there may be equivalent improvements to be made in other hostpathogen systems through studies of how host susceptibility changes through time.

Surveys of cereal diseases and pests in the Netherlands. 4. Occurrence of powdery mildew and rusts in winter wheat

Results of annual surveys of winter wheat fields from 1974 to 1986 were compiled to describe epidemics of powdery mildew and rusts in relation to weather and cultivar resistance.An average of 29 and 70% of fields were infected by powdery mildew in May and July, respectively. Mildew prevalence in May was positively correlated with average temperature in October and with average temperature over the months December, January, February and March. In addition, it was correlated negatively with the average grade of mildew resistance of the cultivars sown each year. Prevalence of mildew in July did not show consistent correlations with weather characteristics nor with mildew prevalence in May.Yellow rust was usually not detected in May and on average 18% of the fields was infected in July. The occurrence of yellow rust decreased after 1977, when the farmers adopted cultivars resistant or moderately resistant to yellow rust.Brown rust was usually not detected in May, while in July on average 48% of the fields was infected. Brown rust intensity in July was high in years with a high March temperature and high precipitation during April and May.Black rust was rare in the Netherlands, with 3 and 1% of the fields infected in July 1977 and 1981, respectively.     

A Compromised Mlo Pathway Affects the Response of Barley to the Necrotrophic Fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana (Teleomorph: Cochliobolus sativus) and Its Toxins

ABSTRACT In search of new durable disease resistance traits in barley to control leaf spot blotch disease caused by the necrotrophic fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana (teleomorph: Cochliobolus sativus), we developed macroscopic and microscopic scales to judge spot blotch disease development on barley. Infection of barley was associated with cell wall penetration and accumulation of hydrogen peroxide. The latter appeared to take place in cell wall swellings under fungal penetration attempts as well as during cell death provoked by the necrotrophic pathogen. Additionally, we tested the influence of a compromised Mlo pathway that confers broad resistance against powdery mildew fungus (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei). Powdery mildew-resistant genotypes with mutations at the Mlo locus (mlo genotypes) showed a higher sensitivity to infiltration of toxic culture filtrate of Bipolaris sorokiniana as compared with wild-type barley. Mutants defective in Ror, a gene required for mlo-specified powdery mildew resistance, were also more sensitive to Bipolaris sorokiniana toxins than wild-type barley but showed less symptoms than mlo5 parents. Fungal culture filtrates induced an H2O2 burst in all mutants, whereas wild-type (Mlo) barley was less sensitive. The results support the hypothesis that the barley Mlo gene product functions as a suppresser of cell death. Therefore, a compromised Mlo pathway is effective for control of biotrophic powdery mildew fungus but not for necrotrophic Bipolaris sorokiniana. We discuss the problem of finding resistance traits that are effective against both biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens with emphasis on the role of the anti-oxidative system of plant cells.     

The development of the leaf rust,Puccinia hordei,population during winter,spring and early summer in 11 winter barley cultivars

The overwintering and the epidemic development in spring of leaf rust was studied in 11 winter barley cultivars at two different sites near Wageningen in 1976/1977. The amount of leaf rust decreased through the winter at both sites. Cultivars differed considerably in the amount of leaf rust in late winter. Both the moment and the rate of increase of leaf rust after the winter varied with cultivars. The ultimate amount of leaf rust in a cultivar was therefore determined by three factors: The amount of overwintering leaf rust, the onset of leaf rust increase and the rate of increase. The latter was determined by the partial resistance of the cultivar. Why the epidemics did not start at the same moment is yet unknown. The differential overwintering could be explained from the amounts of leaf rust and powdery mildew at the start of the winter, the effect of powdery mildew being a negative one. The correlation coefficient between the values observed in March and those predicted from the December leaf rust and powdery mildew readings was 0.93. In a second experiment carried out in 1979/1980 with six winter barley cultivars chosen from the first experiment the powdery mildew was succesfully excluded by treatment with fungicides. There was no decrease in the leaf rust over the winter nor a differential cultivar effect on overwintering.     

Hydroxypyrimidine fungicides inhibit adenosine deaminase in barley powdery mildew

Adenine and adenosine are metabolized by the adenine salvage pathway during primary infection of barley powdery mildew, Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei. Operation of this pathway was affected by the hydroxypyrimidine fungicide, ethirimol. Adenosine deaminase, ADAase, which was detected in mildew conidia and infected plants, but not in healthy barley, was the only enzyme in this pathway inhibited by the fungicide in in vitro assays. This feature of the mildew enzyme was unusual, and correlates with the specificity of hydroxypyrimidines which act against powdery mildews only. Other properties of this enzyme were similar to ADAase from other sources. In structure/activity studies with dimethirimol analogs, poor fungicidal activity was often associated with failure to inhibit ADAase, especially when assayed during appressoria formation. Purine derivatives were much less specific, and their mode of action against powdery mildew is probably different. Ethirimol resistance was not related to changes in ADAase, nor was the fungicide altered to an inactive metabolite. It is concluded that ADAase is one site of hydroxypyrimidine action.     

The role of jasmonic acid signalling in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) powdery mildew resistance reaction

Jasmonic acid (JA) signalling plays an important role in plant resistance to pathogens. Previously, JA has been found to play a role in induced disease resistance to necrotrophic pathogens in various plant species, but current researches showed that JA also enhanced resistance to biotrophic pathogens. However, its role in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, Bgt) resistance reaction is largely unknown. To settle this issue, several typical powdery mildew resistant and susceptible wheat varieties were employed. The sensitivity to exogenous methyl jasmonate (MeJA) to wheat powdery mildew resistance, the concentration fluctuation of endogenous JAs after Bgt inoculation, and the expression profiles of nine pathogenesis-related protein genes (PR genes) after MeJA and Bgt treatments were studied systematically. Exogenous MeJA significantly enhanced the powdery mildew resistance of the susceptible varieties. After inoculation with Bgt, endogenous JAs accumulated rapidly, reached the maxima at 2 to 5 h post-inoculation (hpi), then decreased rapidly, and the concentration was almost the same as that of un-inoculated control at 96 hpi. The expression levels of the nine PRs were measured by real time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) at different time points after MeJA application or Bgt inoculation respectively. The MeJA and Bgt strongly activated PR1, PR2, PR3, PR4, PR5, PR9, PR10 and Ta-JA2, but almost didn’t affect Ta-GLP2a. The induced powdery mildew resistance was positively correlated with the activated PR genes. JA plays a positive role in defence against Bgt. JA is a signalling molecule in wheat powdery mildew resistance and future manipulation of this pathway may improve powdery mildew resistance in wheat breeding.     

Evidence that ethirimol may interfere with adenine metabolism during primary infection of barley powdery mildew

Ethirimol, a hydroxypyrimidine fungicide active against powdery mildews only, inhibited the formation of appressoria during primary infection of barley powdery mildew, Erysiphe graminis f.sp hordei. It also affected other stages of mildew development. Several adenine analogs had similar effects and ethirimol-resistant mildew strains were generally cross-resistant to these. Adenine and adenosine reduced the fungitoxicity of ethirimol. During the formation of appressoria [³H]adenine was incorporated into RNA but [¹⁴C]glycine was not, suggesting that purine biosynthesis did not occur. Ethirimol inhibited this RNA synthesis and it is concluded that the fungicide may interfere with adenine metabolism at some site subsequent to its synthesis.     

Comparison of resistance-inducing abilities of virulent and avirulent races of Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei and a race of Erysiphe graminis f.sp. tritici in barley

Resistance to powdery mildew was induced in barley by preinoculation with virulent and avirulent races of barley powdery mildew ( Erysiphe graminis f.sp. hordei ), and with a race of wheat powdery mildew ( E. graminis f.sp. tritici ). Four inducer densities were tested in 13 different induction periods between 1 and 24 h. Generally, the resistance induced by barley powdery mildew increased up to 10-12 h of induction and was maintained in longer induction periods. The inducing abilities of virulent and avirulent races could not be distinguished up to 10-12 h of induction, after which the inducing ability of avirulent races increased significantly in relation to virulent races. Wheat powdery mildew was able to induce more resistance than barley powdery mildew in induction periods up to 8 h. In a single inoculation procedure the number of haustoria developing from virulent barley powdery mildew decreased as inoculum density increased. The effect was ascribed to induction of resistance. This reduction of infection efficiency in the compatible interaction was compared to induced resistance. However, the inoculum density needed for 50% resistance induction in the double inoculation procedure was approximately 40 times higher than the inoculum density needed for 50% reduction in infection efficiency in the single inoculation procedure.     

Calcium ion promotes successful penetration of powdery mildew fungi into barley cells

To determine whether Ca²⁺ promotes powdery mildew penetration, Ca²⁺-treated barley coleoptiles were inoculated with conidia of pathogenic and nonpathogenic fungi. Penetration efficiency of the pathogenic powdery mildew Blumeria graminis was enhanced by Ca²⁺ treatment, but that of the necrotrophic pathogen Helminthosporium sp. remained unaffected. Similarly, when actin-dependent penetration resistance is suppressed with cytochalasin A, Ca²⁺ treatment specifically enhanced penetration of the nonpathogenic powdery mildew Erysiphe pisi but not that of other nonpathogens. Calmodulin inhibitors suppressed the promotive effect of Ca²⁺ on B. graminis penetration. These results suggest that barley powdery mildew specifically requires Ca²⁺ and calmodulin for penetration.     

Effects of phenylpropanoid and energetic metabolism inhibition on faba bean resistance mechanisms to rust

ABSTRACT Effects on penetration and hypersensitive resistance of the cinnamyl acid dehydrogenase (CAD) suicide inhibitor ([(2-hydroxyphenyl) amino] sulphinyl) acetic acid, 1.1 dimethyl ester, which suppresses phenylpro-panoid biosynthesis, and of D-mannose, which sequesters phosphate and reduces energy available in host cells, were studied in faba bean (Vicia faba) genotypes with differing resistance mechanisms to faba bean rust (Uromyces viciae-fabae). Inhibition of CAD reduced penetration resistance in lines 2N-34, 2N-52, V-1271, and V-1272, revealing an important role for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in the resistance of these lines. Inhibition of CAD also inhibited hypersensitive cell death in these lines. D-mannose had little or no effect on resistance. By contrast, CAD inhibition did not affect penetration resistance of line BPL-261, which has a high degree of penetration resistance not associated with hypersensitive cell death. In BPL-261, D-mannose inhibited penetration resistance. The parallelism between the faba bean genotype responses to rust observed here and the response of barley genotypes with differing resistance mechanisms to powdery mildew after similar inhibitor treatments is analyzed and discussed.     

Hypersensitive reaction and P/HRGP accumulation is modulated by nitric oxide through hydrogen peroxide in pearl millet during Sclerospora graminicola infection

Priming of pearl millet seedlings with nitric oxide (NO) donors sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and S-nitrosoglutathione (SNOG) induced hypersensitive reactions (HR) and accumulation of Proline/Hydroxyproline-rich glycoprotein (P/HRGP) during infection by downy mildew pathogen Sclerospora graminicola. Such defense responses were specifically altered by concentration of NO donors resulting in the modulation of endogenous NO in seedling tissues. The stoichiometric interactions of NO and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) when followed in relation to HR and P/HRGP accumulation, the degree of defense response varied with H₂O₂ level, the latter being largely influenced by NO concentration. Therefore, balancing NO and H₂O₂ is vital for optimum expression of defense responses for imparting disease resistance.
