Abstract: | Xanthomonas perforans is the causal agent of bacterial spot, one of the most devastating diseases of tomato that results in considerable yield losses worldwide. Rutin, as a polyphenolic substance, was used to induce resistance in tomato against X. perforans. Rutin at concentration of 2 mM had ability to reduce the disease severity of bacterial spot. On the other hand, 2 mM rutin had no antibacterial activity in vitro. Expression profiling of pathogenesis-related gene 5 (PR-5), Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) and lipoxygenase (LOX) was probed during the enhanced resistance by rutin. Pretreatment with rutin (rutin/ X. perforans) led to induction of PR-5, PAL and LOX compared to controls (water/ X. perforans). Our results suggest that rutin-induced resistance against X. perforans in tomato might be mediated through stimulation of some defense genes such as PR-5, PAL and LOX. |
