Abstract
It was studied the pathogenicity of Macrophomina pseudophaseolina isolates in melon seedlings and their influence on protein expression of the crop. For this purpose, two isolates of the fungus were inoculated in Golden and Cantaloupe melon seedlings using the toothpick method. Thirty days after inoculation, disease incidence and severity were assessed using pre-established scales; additionally, stem and root length and fresh weight was evaluated. Protein extraction from plant tissues was performed using the phenol/SDS precipitation method and quantification by the Bradford method. The protein samples were subjected to denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Then, the existence of polymorphism and molecular weight of bands detected in the samples were evaluated. M. pseudophaseolina isolates caused root rot in all inoculated melon seedlings. However, the two isolates exhibited different degrees of aggressiveness to the seedlings. The isolates CMM-4801 and CMM-4771 caused an average symptom severity of 3.40 and 2.60, respectively, in both cultivars. The disease negatively affected seedling development by reducing root length, and stem and root fresh weight. Different polypeptide band patterns were verified between inoculated and control seedlings, indicating different protein expression due to biotic stress caused by the fungus. Moreover, different protein expression patterns were found between the inoculated seedlings, indicating a correlation between pathogen aggressiveness and host response.

期刊介绍:
Bioagro es una revista científica del Decanato de Agronomía de la Universidad Centroccidental “Lisandro Alvarado” (UCLA). Su periodicidad es cuatrimestral y se publica en los meses de enero, mayo y septiembre. Cada trabajo es revisado por al menos dos especialistas en el área, externos a la revista, de cuya opinión depende la aceptación definitiva. Se utiliza sistema de arbitraje doble ciego.
La revista va dirigida, fundamental pero no exclusivamente, a profesionales y técnicos del área agrícola. Su objetivo es publicar trabajos científicos originales e inéditos en ciencias agrícolas que enfoquen aspectos de agronomía, botánica y propagación de plantas, entomología y zoología, suelos, fitopatología y protección vegetal, ingeniería agrícola, genética y mejoramiento de plantas, ecología, procesamiento de productos agrícolas, biotecnología y sociales. También pueden ser publicados artículos cortos en los que se presenten descubrimientos científicos, desarrollos tecnológicos y resultados de diagnósticos integrales, en la modalidad de Notas Técnicas.
En Venezuela, se encuentra en las bibliotecas de todas las universidades e institutos de educación superior que ofrecen carreras agronómicas, así como de los entes oficiales de investigación agropecuaria. En el exterior, la revista llega a universidades y/o institutos de investigación agrícolas de todos los países de América Latina así como Estados Unidos, Canadá y España.
