What is Menadione sodium bisulphite: a novel plant defence activator which enhances local and systemic resistance to infection by Leptosphaeria maculans in oilseed rape about?
Pretreatment of the first true leaves of oilseed rape plants (__Brassica napus__ cv. Bristol) with menadione sodium bisulphite (MSB) locally and systemically induced resistance, as shown by reduced lesion size and number, to infection by the fungal pathogen __Leptosphaeria maculans__, the causal agent of stem canker. Using a known systemic activator of salicylic acid‐dependent __PR‐1__ induction, acibenzolar‐__S__‐methyl (BTH; __S__‐methylbenzo[1,2,3]thiadiazole‐7‐carbothiate) as a comparison, real‐time PCR expression analysis of genes encoding a pathogenesis‐related protein 1 (__PR‐1__) and an ascorbate peroxidase (__APX__) demonstrated a systemic enhancement of __APX__ expression in MSB‐pretreated plants, with no effect on __PR‐1__ expression, suggesting augmented reactive oxygen species production in MSB‐pretreated plants. The results demonstrate MSB to be an effective resistance activator in oilseed rape, and potentially useful for the control of stem canker.
