Abstract
Seaweed oligosaccharides exhibit multiple biological activities and act as novel plant growth regulators. Our previous research indicates that carrageenan oligosaccharides (COs) can effectively control tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) disease. To reveal the COs defence mechanisms against tobacco viruses, a transcriptomic analysis was performed to explore the potential antiviral pathways of κ-COs. Compared with the control group, the treated groups exhibited substantial delays in disease onset, and their disease indices also markedly decreased. After TMV inoculation, compared with the control group, the defence enzyme activities, such as those of superoxide dismutase, β-1,3-glucanase, and peroxidase, in the treated groups significantly increased. The expression levels of key genes related to the resistance-associated pathways, such as Nicotiana rustica-derived Tobacco Mosaic Virus Resistance Gene (NrCN) and Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK), in the treated groups were higher than those in the untreated control group. In-depth gene sequencing revealed that a large number of genes and their corresponding metabolic pathways in treated groups showed extremely significant variations after inoculation with TMV. This study investigated the effective influence of COs on tobacco TMV resistance and examined the effects of carrageenan oligosaccharides on the metabolism of TMV-inoculated tobacco plants at the transcriptional level.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Phytopathology publishes original and review articles on all scientific aspects of applied phytopathology in agricultural and horticultural crops. Preference is given to contributions improving our understanding of the biotic and abiotic determinants of plant diseases, including epidemics and damage potential, as a basis for innovative disease management, modelling and forecasting. This includes practical aspects and the development of methods for disease diagnosis as well as infection bioassays.
Studies at the population, organism, physiological, biochemical and molecular genetic level are welcome. The journal scope comprises the pathology and epidemiology of plant diseases caused by microbial pathogens, viruses and nematodes.
Accepted papers should advance our conceptual knowledge of plant diseases, rather than presenting descriptive or screening data unrelated to phytopathological mechanisms or functions. Results from unrepeated experimental conditions or data with no or inappropriate statistical processing will not be considered. Authors are encouraged to look at past issues to ensure adherence to the standards of the journal.
