Abstract

The hemibiotrophic pathogen Fusarium culmorum (Fc) causes crown and root rot (CRR) in wheat. In this study, MeJA treatment was done 6 h after pathogen inoculation (hai) to focus the physiological and biochemical responses in root tissue of the susceptible wheat cv Falat, partially resistant cv Pishtaz and the tolerant cv Sumai3 at the beginning of the necrotrophic stage. The results indicate that treatment with MeJA at 6 hai significantly delayed the necrotic progress in cv Falat, whereas no significant difference was seen in other cultivars. The activities of pathogen responsive defense-related enzymes (SOD, CAT, POX, PPO, LOX and PAL), total phenols and callose contents were higher in Sumai3, while treatment with MeJA significantly increased these enzymes activities and total phenols content in Falat, signifying the most sensitive cultivar which had a weak reaction to the pathogen but a strong response to MeJA treatment. Additionally, MeJA treatment decreased the level of H2O2 and MDA contents particularly in cv Falat. This is the first work reporting the regulation of defense-related enzymes by MeJA treatment at particular time point of 6 hai suggests the possible role of JA in regulating basal resistance in CRR pathogen–wheat interaction. Taken together, our data add new insights into the mechanism of wheat defense including enzymatic events controlling wheat protection against Fc infection.
