This\u0000 study aimed to monitor the expression of PR2 and\u0000 PAL pathogenesis related genes during\u0000 compatible/incompatible barley interaction with Pg and\u0000 Bg at different time points of disease development using\u0000 the Quantitative Real-time PCR technique (qRT-PCR). \u0000 Comparison of data showed that PR2 and PAL were\u0000 significantly over expressed in infected resistant and susceptible plants as\u0000 against their lower expression in controls,. Upregulation of these\u0000 defense-related genes during Pg and Bg\u0000 infections was companied with a slow development of disease symptoms at the time\u0000 course in the resistant genotype. qRT-PCR analysis revealed higher gene\u0000 expression in resistant barley plants inoculated with Pg as\u0000 compared with Bg, with a maximum expression for\u0000 PR2 (13.8 and 5.06-fold) and PAL (14.8 and\u0000 4.51-fold) respectively, at the latest stage of each disease development. It was\u0000 also noteworthy that PR2 and PAL genes, had\u0000 higher constitutive expression and faster induction for the both pathogens in\u0000 the resistant genotype as compared with the susceptible one.\u0000 Obtained results suggest that both genes, PR2 and\u0000 PAL, positively regulate Pg- and\u0000 Bg-resistance in barley plants during disease progress.\u0000 These expression patterns can provide useful insights to better understanding of\u0000 the barley–fungus interactions with different fungal lifestyles.","PeriodicalId":7136,"journal":{"name":"Acta Phytopathologica Et Entomologica Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48105716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Plate-based screening methods are routinely used for\u0000 screening protease-producing microorganisms including fungi. Skim milk agar\u0000 (SMA) is one of the most popular media for the detection of protease producing\u0000 bacteria. However, SMA is not efficient to test fast growing fungi, because it\u0000 does not give an estimation of the actual amount of secreted protease produced\u0000 by fungal inocula. In the current study, the efficacy of two modified\u0000 plate-screening methods, including split-SMA (SSMA) and minimal medium\u0000 supplemented with skim milk (MSMW) was assessed for detection of protease\u0000 production by three representative fungal strains including Trichoderma\u0000 longibrachiatum strain N, Beauveria bassiana\u0000 strain B and Purpureocillium lilacinum strain PL.

According to the result of this study, the SSMA medium\u0000 is an easy and more accurate method compared with the two other different\u0000 methods as it displays the actual amount of protease produced by fungal strains\u0000 and therefore this method is recommended for quantitative and qualitative\u0000 detection of protease production by slow and fast growing fungi.","PeriodicalId":7136,"journal":{"name":"Acta Phytopathologica Et Entomologica Hungarica","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43529734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
