Abstract
Pest infestation on crops trigger high cellular oxidative stress. The strong indicator of oxidative stress initiation are lipoxgenases. We attempted to examine the status of LOX 2 gene and its encoded protein in B. juncea- B. fruticulosa derived lines against Lipaphis erysimi infestation. Cultivated brassicas display lack of resistance against mustard aphid infestation. Brassica fruticulosa, a wild crucifer is a source of enriched resistance gene pool. LOX 2 activity and LOX2 gene expression fold changes were higher in resistant genotypes than susceptible genotypes following 48 h (9.79 and 6.52 fold, respectively) of aphid infestation. Highly resistant test genotype, B. fruticulosa and resistant IL Ad4-64 displayed 1.87 and 3.83-fold decline in malondialdehyde content at 48 h post-infestation. We depicted pivotal role of LOX 2 in resistance during Brassica-mustard aphid interactions which has not been documented so far.
期刊介绍:
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum is an international journal established in 1978 that publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of plant physiology. The coverage ranges across this research field at various levels of biological organization, from relevant aspects in molecular and cell biology to biochemistry.
The coverage is global in scope, offering articles of interest from experts around the world. The range of topics includes measuring effects of environmental pollution on crop species; analysis of genomic organization; effects of drought and climatic conditions on plants; studies of photosynthesis in ornamental plants, and more.
