Abstract

Inoculation of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) leaves with Cladosporium fulvum (Cooke) (syn. Fulvia fulva [Cooke] Cif) results in a marked accumulation of several pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins in the apoplast. Two predominant PR proteins were purified from apoplastic fluid by ion exchange chromatography followed by chromatofocusing. One protein (molecular mass [M(r)] 35 kilodaltons [kD], isoelectric point [pI] approximately 6.4) showed 1,3-beta-glucanase activity, while the other one (M(r)26 kD, pI approximately 6.1) showed chitinase activity. Identification of the products that were released upon incubation of the purified enzymes with laminarin or regenerated chitin revealed that both enzymes showed endo-activity. Using antisera raised against these purified enzymes from tomato and against chitinases and 1,3-beta-glucanases isolated from other plant species, one additional 1,3-beta-glucanase (M(r)33 kD) and three additional chitinases (M(r) 27, 30, and 32 kD) could be detected in apoplastic fluids or homogenates of tomato leaves inoculated with C. fulvum. Upon inoculation with C. fulvum, chitinase and 1,3-beta-glucanase activity in apoplastic fluids increased more rapidly in incompatible interactions than in compatible ones. The role of these hydrolytic enzymes, potentially capable of degrading hyphal walls of C. fulvum, is discussed in relation to active plant defense.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
