Hydrogen Peroxide- and Nitric Oxide-mediated Disease Control of Bacterial Wilt in Tomato Plants.

TLDR
H2O2 and SNP could be used together to control bacterial wilt in tomato plants as bactericidal agents, and H2O1+ SNP mixture significantly decreased disease severity with reduced relative AUDPC.
Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in tomato plants by Ralstonia solanacearum infection and the role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide in tomato bacterial wilt control were demonstrated. During disease development of tomato bacterial wilt, accumulation of superoxide anion (O2−) and H2O2 was observed and lipid peroxidation also occurred in the tomato leaf tissues. High doses of H2O2and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) nitric oxide donor showed phytotoxicity to detached tomato leaves 1 day after petiole feeding showing reduced fresh weight. Both H2O2and SNP have in vitro antibacterial activities against R. solanacearum in a dose-dependent manner, as well as plant protection in detached tomato leaves against bacterial wilt by 106 and 107 cfu/ml of R. solanacearum. H2O2- and SNP-mediated protection was also evaluated in pots using soil-drench treatment with the bacterial inoculation, and relative ‘area under the disease progressive curve (AUDPC)’ was calculated to compare disease protection by H2O2 and/or SNP with untreated control. Neither H2O2 nor SNP protect the tomato seedlings from the bacterial wilt, but H2O2+ SNP mixture significantly decreased disease severity with reduced relative AUDPC. These results suggest that H2O2 and SNP could be used together to control bacterial wilt in tomato plants as bactericidal agents.

CATALASE2 coordinates SA-mediated repression of both auxin accumulation and JA biosynthesis in plant defenses.

TL;DR: It is reported that biotrophic-pathogen-induced SA accumulation dampens both auxin and JA synthesis by inhibiting CATALASE2 (CAT2) activity in the model plant Arabidopsis, and CAT2 promotes JA biosynthesis by facilitating direct interaction of the JA biosynthetic enzymes ACX2 and ACX3, and thus SA repression of CAT2 inhibits JA accumulation.

ABA Suppresses Botrytis cinerea Elicited NO Production in Tomato to Influence H2O2 Generation and Increase Host Susceptibility

TL;DR: The data suggests that ABA can decreases resistance to B. cinerea via reduction of NO production which also suppresses both ROS and ethylene production.

Nitric oxide action in abiotic stress responses in plants

TL;DR: In this article, the role of Nitric Oxide in the adaptation of plants to Abiotic Stress conditions is discussed. But the authors do not consider the effect of exposure to UV-B radiation on plant growth.

Populus euphratica J3 mediates root K + /Na + homeostasis by activating plasma membrane H + -ATPase in transgenic Arabidopsis under NaCl salinity

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo activity assays revealed that PeJ3-overexpression upregulated plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity and enhanced H2O2 signaling in salt-stressed Arabidopsis, which contributed to K+/Na+ homeostasis in roots.

Mechanism of Penicillium expansum in response to exogenous nitric oxide based on proteomics analysis.

TL;DR: It is found that nitric oxide (NO) donor could significantly inhibit germinability of P. expansum spores, resulting in lower virulence to apple fruit and provide novel evidence for understanding the mechanism of NO regulating virulence of the fungal pathogen.

The oxidative burst in plant disease resistance

TL;DR: Emerging data indicate that the oxidative burst reflects activation of a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase closely resembling that operating in activated neutrophils, which underlies the expression of disease-resistance mechanisms.

Significance of Inducible Defense-related Proteins in Infected Plants

TL;DR: The evolutionary conservation of similar defense-related proteins in monocots and dicots, but also their divergent occurrence in other conditions, suggest that these proteins serve essential functions in plant life, whether in defense or not.

Subcellular localization of H2O2 in plants. H2O2 accumulation in papillae and hypersensitive response during the barley—powdery mildew interaction

TL;DR: 3,3-diaminobenzidine polymerizes instantly and locally as soon as it comes into contact with H2O2 in the presence of peroxidase, and it was found that, by allowing the leaf to take up this substrate, in-vivo and in-situ detection of H2 O2 can be made at subcellular levels.

Biology and epidemiology of bacterial wilt caused by pseudomonas solanacearum

TL;DR: This review focuses on bacterial wilt caused by Pseudomonas solanacearum, which is widely distributed in tropical, subtropical and some warm temperate regions of the world, and is a major constraint on production of many crop plants.
