  • NOVEL BIOMOLECULES FROM PLANTS WITH POTENTIAL AGAINST RESPIRATORY DISEASES: A CRITICAL ANALYSIS

  • Piriformospora indica primes onion response against stemphylium leaf blight disease

    Pathogens, 2021
    The root-endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica (=Serendipita indica) has been revealed for its growth-promoting effects and its capacity to induce resistance in a broad spectrum of host plants. However, the bioefficacy of this fungus had not yet been tested against any pathogen affecting onion (Allium cepa). In this study, the biocontrol potency of P. indica against onion leaf blight, an impacting disease caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Stemphylium vesicarium, was evaluated. First, it was proved that colonisation of onion roots by P. indica was beneficial for plant growth, as it increased leaf development and root biomass. Most relevantly, P. indica was also effective in reducing Stemphylium leaf blight (SLB) severity, as assessed under greenhouse conditions and confirmed in field trials in two consecutive years. These investigations could also provide some insight into the biochemical and molecular changes that treatment with P. indica induces in the main pathways associated with host defence response. It was possible to highlight the protective effect of P. indica colonisation against peroxidative damage, and its role in signalling oxidative stress, by assessing changes in malondialdehyde and H2O2 content. It was also showed that treatment with P. indica contributes to modulate the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase and peroxidase, in the course of infection. qPCR-based expression analysis of defence-related genes AcLOX1, AcLOX2, AcPAL1, AcGST, AcCHI, AcWRKY1, and AcWRKY70 provided further indications on P. indica ability to induce onion systemic response. Based on the evidence gathered, this study aims to propose P. indica application as a sustainable tool for improving SLB control, which might not only enhance onion growth performance but also activate defence signalling mechanisms more effectively, involving different pathways.

    Biologia Plantarum, 1995
    Tephrosia purpurea Pers. was found to accumulate high proline content in dry habitat. The proline content was higher in shoots, especially in leaves, than in roots. Pod walls and young seeds showed the highest proline content. The proline content of young leaves was higher than that of mature and old leaves. During leaf senescencein vitro proline content increased rapidly upto 6 h and further decreased in leaves as well as in leachate. High proline content seems to be positively related with 'survival capability' of this plant.

  • Changes in the inorganic status and enzyme activities in senescent leaves of chickpea. Cicer arietinum L.

    Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 1985
    The changes in the level of some inorganic constituents and the activities of some important enzyme systems in senescent leaves of chickpea (<em>Cicer arietinum</em> L.) have been studied. In senescent leaves, a marked decline in the potassium and phosphorus contents was evident which was accompanied by the accumulation of calcium, silicon, chloride and manganese. Leaf senescence was accompanied by a great increase in hydrolytic processes, as revealed by the increase in the activities of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, ATPase, inorganic pyrophosphatase and 3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase. The activities of nitrogen metabolism enzymes, namely nitrate reductase, nitrite reductase, glutamine synthetase and alanine aminotransferase, and of photorespiratory enzymes -- phosphoglycolate phosphatase, glycolate oxidase and catalase, were lower in senescent leaves. Leaf senescence was further associated with an increase in the activities of peroxidase and polyphenol oxidase, a considerable depression in pyruvate kinase activity, and a slight elevation in aldolase activity.
