Systemic Resistance against Sphaerotheca fuliginea in Cucumber by Cell Fungal Fragments of Flammulina velutipes M. Liu and Q.

R. China W. D.

Tang China Agricultural University, Beijing 100094 Corresponding author: maqing@nwsuaf.edu.cn Abstract: Cellular fragments of the fungus Flammulina velutipes (JZGP), extraction of F. velutipes fermentation solution (JZG), Benzothiadiazoles (BTH, BION®), and KangDuFeng (KDF) were studied as candidates of SAR inducers in the cucumber-Sphaerotheca fuliginea system. The results demonstrated that the treatments of all candidate inducers placed on the first leaf of cucumber plants six days before challenging inoculation on the upper leaves with S. fuliginea, induced systemic resistance. Disease incidence and index were significantly lower when compared with the water-treated control. The systemic acquired resistance (SAR) levels induced by the JZGP solution diluted 500 times and the JZG treatment were higher than that elicited by KDF alone, but lower than the BTH treatment. Treatments with these inducers led to an increase in activities of chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase in cucumber leaves compared with control plants, indicating that these inducers triggered SAR in the cucumber plants examined. The results of this study will assist in the exploitation of biological inducers of plant resistance in cucumber. Introduction: Powder mildew, caused by Sphaerotheca fuliginea, is a widely distributed and destructive disease of greenhouse and field-grown cucumber plants. The disease is typically controlled by fungicide applications. As the problems of the fungicide resistance and the pollution to the environment have become increasingly serious, alternative methods of protection are essential. Resistance can be systemically induced in plants by abiotic or biotic elicitor(s) (1,4-6,11,12). Among the abiotic compounds, salicylic acid (SA) was found to induce systemic resistance (SAR) to fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens. Benzothiadiazole (BTH) mimics SA, and is capable of inducing SAR. In 1996, BTH was introduced in Germany, and is now available as the commercial product BION®. Resistance inducing effects of this product have been demonstrated in plants against different crop diseases(2,7). Hijwegen and Verhaar demonstrated that three fungal culture filtrates were able to induce resistance to Peronospora parasitica in red cabbage reducing disease incidence by 52% (8). Based on our research investigating the active component of cellular fragment of Flammulina velutipes (JZGP), the active extracted component of F. velutipes fermentation is proteoglycan.
