Abstract
A major resistance gene of the melon accession PI414723 to zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is located at the Zym-1 locus on chromosome 2, but the underlying defense mechanisms are poorly understood. The physiological responses and expression of selected genes at Zym-1 were assessed in PI414723 and in the susceptible genotype Védrantais. Viral titers and the expression of genes related to systemic acquired resistance (SAR) were evaluated in inoculated (Inoc) and non-inoculated (Non-Inoc) portions of the cotyledons at 3, 7 and 10 days after inoculation (dai) and in apical leaves at 10 dai. ZYMV was detected in both portions of the cotyledons but not in the apical leaves of PI414723 plants. Also, ZYMV was recovered in a susceptible zucchini only from Inoc portions at 3 dai. By contrast, in Védrantais ZYMV was detected and recovered from all tissues at high concentrations. Starchy local lesions and accumulation of transcripts of the SAR marker genes PR1 and PR4 were also detected in the resistant genotype. Plus, transcripts of one candidate resistance gene analog previously located at Zym-1 and of two melon homologs of restricted tobacco etch virus movement 2 (RTM2) genes located close to Zym-1, accumulated only in PI414723. It is proposed that resistance results from the combined action of the R gene, involved in restricting ZYMV replication after a supposed recognition event and of the RTM genes which impact viral systemic movement to distal apical tissues.
期刊介绍:
Phytopathology publishes articles on fundamental research that advances understanding of the nature of plant diseases, the agents that cause them, their spread, the losses they cause, and measures that can be used to control them. Phytopathology considers manuscripts covering all aspects of plant diseases including bacteriology, host-parasite biochemistry and cell biology, biological control, disease control and pest management, description of new pathogen species description of new pathogen species, ecology and population biology, epidemiology, disease etiology, host genetics and resistance, mycology, nematology, plant stress and abiotic disorders, postharvest pathology and mycotoxins, and virology. Papers dealing mainly with taxonomy, such as descriptions of new plant pathogen taxa are acceptable if they include plant disease research results such as pathogenicity, host range, etc. Taxonomic papers that focus on classification, identification, and nomenclature below the subspecies level may also be submitted to Phytopathology.
