Salicylic acid primed defence response in octoploid strawberry (Benihoppe) leaves induces resistance against Podosphaera aphanis through enhanced accumulation of proanthocyanidins and up-regulation of pathogensis-related genes
Abstract:Background Podosphaera aphanis , a predominately biotrophic fungal pathogen, causes significant yield losses of strawberry. China is the largest strawberry producer in the world, and selecting for powdery mildew-resistant cultivars is desirable. However, the resistance mechanism against P. aphanis in the octoploid strawberry remains unclear. Results To understand the molecular resistance mechanisms, we inoculated strawberry with P. aphanis , and examined the expression profiles of candidate genes and the bioch… Show more
