“…Especially, the activity of PPO was significantly higher in resistant cultivars ('Wangshuibai' and 'Sumai 3') than in the susceptible cultivars. PPO may play a defensive role in FHB resistance in 'Wangshuibai' and 'Sumai 3' (Nicholson et al 2007). The relationship between the presence of phenolic compounds in plant tissues and resistance to fungal pathogens has been reported.…”

Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum is one of the most destructive fungal diseases. Wide spread of FHB causes yield loss, quality reduction, and accumulation of poisonous mycotoxins. Twenty-three Korean wheat cultivars and a known FHB resistant cultivar 'Sumai 3' were tested for Type I and Type II resistance to FHB and evaluated for grain characteristics. Wheat cultivars showed infection scores of 0.6 (the lowest) to 7.8 (the highest) in response to the Fusarium inoculation for Type I evaluation. Three Korean cultivars, 'Chungkye' (1.8), 'Tapdong' (1.8), and 'Jinpoom' (1.6) showed relatively good FHB resistance compared to 'Sumai 3' (0.6) for Type I evaluation. On the other hand, Type II evaluation scores ranged between 1.4 and 3.6. The infection scores of 'Uri' (1.4) and 'Jinpoom' (1.4) were particularly low and even lower than "Sumai 3" (1.6). The relationship between grain properties and FHB severity was evaluated. Grain length was positively correlated with Type II evaluation. Spike length and total polyphenol content were negatively correlated with FHB severity of Type I evaluation. Grain properties were negatively or positively correlated with FHB severity. The obtained results indicated that some of the grain parameters could be employed in the development of wheat lines with improved FHB resistance.

“…The defence‐responsive proteins, including pathogenesis‐related 10 (PR‐10), chitinases, xylanase inhibitors, proteinase inhibitors, and a class III peroxidase, were more abundant in the tolerant inbred line CO441. Pathogenesis‐related proteins β‐1,3‐glucanase (PR‐2) and chitinase (PR‐3) were observed in greater abundance in wheat line Arina, resistant to F. graminearum infection, in comparison to the susceptible line Agent (Kang & Buchenauer, 2002 ), inhibiting the hydrolysis of plant cell walls by pathogenic fungi (Nicholson et al, 2007 ). Reid and Altosaar ( 2019 ) observed up‐regulation of defence proteins in response to F. graminearum infection in maize lines CO441 and CL30.…”

Fusarium stalk rot caused by Fusarium verticillioides is one of the most devastating diseases of maize that causes significant yield losses and poses potential security concerns for foods worldwide. The underlying mechanisms of maize plants regulating defence against the disease remain poorly understood. Here, integrative proteomic and transcriptomic analyses were employed to identify pathogenesis‐related protein genes by comparing differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in maize stalks after inoculation with F. verticillioides. Functional enrichment analysis showed that DEGs and DEPs were mainly enriched in glutathione metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism, amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. Fourteen DEGs and DEGs that were highly elevated after inoculation with F. verticillioides were confirmed with parallel reaction monitoring and reverse transcription‐quantitative PCR, demonstrating the accountability and reliability of proteomic and transcriptomic data. We also assessed the potential roles of defence‐related genes ZmCTA1, ZmWIP1, and ZmLOX2, identified from the multi‐omics analysis, during the process of F. verticillioides infection through virus‐induced gene silencing. The elevation of stalk rot symptomatic characteristics in the silenced plants revealed their contribution to resistance. We further functionally characterized the roles of ZmLOX2 expression in the defence response of maize plants conditioning fungal invasion via the salicylic acid‐dependent pathway. Collectively, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of transcriptome and proteome of maize stalks following F. verticillioides inoculation, and defence‐related genes that could inform selection of new genes as targets in breeding strategies.
