Resistant and susceptible responses in tomato to cyst nematode are differentially regulated by salicylic acid.

TLDR
It is found that PR-1(P4) was a hallmark for the cultivar resistance conferred by Hero A against PCN and that nematode parasitism resulted in the inhibition of the SA signaling pathway in the susceptible cultivars.
Abstract
To understand the machinery underlying a tomato cultivar harboring the Hero A gene against cyst nematode using microarrays, we fi rst analyzed tomato gene expression in response to potato cyst nematode (PCN; Globodera rostochiensis ) during the early incompatible and compatible interactions at 3 and 7 days post-inoculation (dpi). Transcript levels of the phenylalanine ammonia lyase ( PAL ) and Myb related genes were up-regulated at 3 dpi in the incompatible interaction. Transcription of the genes encoding pyruvate decarboxylase ( PDC ) and alcohol dehydrogenase ( ADH ) was also up-regulated at 3 dpi in the incompatible interaction. On the other hand, the four genes ( PAL , Myb , PDC and ADH ) were down-regulated in the compatible interaction at 3 dpi. When the expression levels of several pathogenesis-related (PR) protein genes in tomato roots were compared between the incompatible and compatible interactions, the salicylic acid (SA)-dependent PR genes were found to be induced in the incompatible interaction at 3 dpi. The PR-1 ( P4 ) transcript increased to an exceptionally high level at 3 dpi in the cyst nematode-infected resistant plants compared with the uninoculated controls. The free SA levels were elevated to similar levels in both incompatible and compatible interactions. We then confi rmed that PR-1 ( P4 ) was not signifi cantly induced in the NahG tomato harboring the Hero A gene, compared with the resistant cultivar. We thus found that PR-1 ( P4 ) was a hallmark for the cultivar resistance conferred by Hero A against PCN and that nematode parasitism resulted in the inhibition of the SA signaling pathway in the susceptible cultivars.

TOMATOMA : A Novel Tomato Mutant Database Distributing Micro-Tom Mutant Collections

TL;DR: Genetic analysis of backcrosses indicated the successful inheritance of the mutations in BC1F2 populations, confirming the reproducibility in the morphological phenotyping of the M2 plants and developed the in silico database TOMATOMA, a relational system interfacing modules between mutant line names and phenotypic categories.

Tomato TILLING Technology: Development of a Reverse Genetics Tool for the Efficient Isolation of Mutants from Micro-Tom Mutant Libraries

TL;DR: Two allelic mutants of SlETR1 (Sletr 1-1 and Sletr1-2) that resulted in reduced ethylene responses were identified, indicating that the Micro-Tom TILLING platform provides a powerful tool for the rapid detection of mutations in an EMS mutant library.

The endophytic strain Fusarium oxysporum Fo47: a good candidate for priming the defense responses in tomato roots.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that priming of tomato defense responses is one of the mechanisms of action of Fo47, which induces a reduced colonization of the root of the tomato plant preinoculated with Fo47.

Expression of tomato salicylic acid (SA)-responsive pathogenesis-related genes in Mi-1-mediated and SA-induced resistance to root-knot nematodes.

TL;DR: The data presented in this study show that the repression of host defence SA signalling is associated with the successful development of R KNs, and that SA exogenously added as a soil drench is able to trigger a SAR-like response to RKNs in tomato.

The broad‐spectrum potato cyst nematode resistance gene (Hero) from tomato is the only member of a large gene family of NBS‐LRR genes with an unusual amino acid repeat in the LRR region

TL;DR: The Hero gene of tomato is a broad spectrum resistance gene that confers a high level of resistance to all pathotypes of the potato cyst nematodes Globodera rostochiensis and partial resistance to G. pallida.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the tobacco myb1 gene encodes a signaling component down-stream of SA that may participate in transcriptional activation of PR genes and plant disease resistance.

Tomato Susceptibility to Root-Knot Nematodes Requires an Intact Jasmonic Acid Signaling Pathway

TL;DR: Results indicate that JA-dependent signaling does not play a role in Mi-1-mediated defense; however, an intact JA signaling pathway is required for tomato susceptibility to RKNs.

A Genomic Cluster Containing Four Differentially Regulated Subtilisin-like Processing Protease Genes Is in Tomato Plants

TL;DR: It is proposed that these four P69-like proteases, as members of a complex gene family of plant subtilisin-like proteins, may be involved in a number of specific proteolytic events that occur in the plant during development and/or pathogenesis.

Map-based cloning of a gene sequence encoding a nucleotide-binding domain and a leucine-rich region at the Cre3 nematode resistance locus of wheat

TL;DR: The Cre3 gene confers a high level of resistance to the root endoparasitic nematode Heterodera avenae in wheat and two related gene sequences have been analysed at the Cre3 locus, which appears to be a pseudogene with a frame shift caused by a deletion event.
