Sodium Nitroprusside as a Resistance Inducer in Tomato Plants against Pathogens of Bacterial Diseases

Thirty accessions of tomato including twenty eight introduced accessions from The World Vegetable Center-AVRDC and as controls, two commercial varieties Mongal and Calinago, were assessed for agronomic performances at the Experimentation and Production Station of Angud dou of the National Agronomic Research Centre (CNRA) located in the South of Cote d Ivoire. The trial was arranged in a randomized block with three replications. The following parameters were determined at vegetative development stage: plant height at flowering stage, susceptibility of accessions to diseases, day to 50% flowering and day of first harvest, production duration, fruit length, fruit diameter, total number of fruits, number of fruits per plant, potential yield, net yield and fruit damage rate. Results showed that the commercial variety Mongal, with a potential yield of 15.9 and a net yield of 13.1 t ha-1, was the most productive. All the introduced accessions from AVRDC recorded the lowest potential yields from 2.2 to 9.7 t ha-1, and net yields from 1.7 to 8.6 t ha-1. In addition, accessions WVCT8, FMTT847 and WVCT13 were severely infested by bacterial wilt. The reduction of the net yield of tomato accessions resulted in the high fruit damage rates. For the future tomato breeding work, it would be appropriate to introduce into the trials bacterial diseases tolerant varieties. Moreover, some studies could be undertaken to determine the nature of the bacteria involved in the plant wilting and to find out the causal agent of the tomato plants burning at the fructification stage reducing the harvest duration.

The aim of the work is to study the effect on phytopathogenic bacteria of the species P. syringae of microbiological preparations and substances with aelysitor activity, as well as to analyze the resistance of plant varieties to the causative agents of bacterial diseases of this species. Methods. The antibacterial activity of microbiological preparations registered in Ukraine on the basis of Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas aureofaciens, Azotobacter chroococcum was determined by the method of wells on potato agar. To assess the chitosan’s helix activity, the vegetative tomato plants were treated with a solution of chitosan at a concentration of 0.4%: in the phase of 2—3 true leaves and in the flowering phase. One day after the second treatment, it was carried artificial inoculation of the leaves, stalks, and ovaries with a suspension of cells P. syringae pv. tomato IZ-28 titer 107 CFU/ml and took into account the symptoms of artificial infection. To determine the resistance of wheat and tomato varieties, artificial inoculation of plants was performed in a vegetative house with a suspension of P. syringae pv. atrofaciens UKM B-1011 and P. syringae pv. tomato IZ-28, respectively. Results. Microbiological preparations based on bacteria B. subtilis, P. fluorescens, P. aureofaciens had different antibacterial activity against pathogens of basal bacteriosis of wheat P. syringae pv. atrofaciens, bacterial spot of P. syringae pv. tomato and angular cucumber spot P. syringae pv. lachrymans. Treatment of infected tomato plants with low-molecular chitosan resulted in a slight inhibition of the development of bacterial mottling. Conclusions. Effective and economically viable is the use of biotechnological preparations and the cultivation of the varieties resistant to pathogens of bacterial diseases in vegetable crops.

Leaf Apoplast

Activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) is a powerful proteomic technique to display protein activities in a proteome. It is based on the use of small molecular probes that react with the active site of proteins in an activity-dependent manner. We used ABPP to dissect the protein activity changes that occur in the intercellular spaces of tolerant (Hawaii 7996) and susceptible (Marmande) tomato plants in response to R. solanacearum, the causing agent of bacterial wilt, one of the most destructive bacterial diseases in plants. The intercellular space -or apoplast- is the first battlefield where the plant faces R. solanacearum. Here, we explore the possibility that the limited R. solanacearum colonization reported in the apoplast of tolerant tomato is partly determined by its active proteome. Our work reveals specific activation of papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCPs) and serine hydrolases (SHs) in the leaf apoplast of the tolerant tomato Hawaii 7996 on R. solanacearum infection. The P69 family members P69C and P69F, and an unannotated lipase (Solyc02g077110.2.1), were found to be post-translationally activated. In addition, protein network analysis showed that deeper changes in network topology take place in the susceptible tomato variety, suggesting that the tolerant cultivar might be more prepared to face R. solanacearum in its basal state. Altogether this work identifies significant changes in the activity of 4 PLCPs and 27 SHs in the tomato leaf apoplast in response to R. solanacearum, most of which are yet to be characterized. Our findings denote the importance of novel proteomic approaches such as ABPP to provide new insights on old and elusive questions regarding the molecular basis of resistance to R. solanacearum.

The specific conditions of the protected ground, the almost constant tomato culture without substitution of the substrate, the elevated temperature and humidity lead to the accumulation of a large number of pathogens of bacterial diseases, which limit the increase in yield of this crop. The aim of the work was to characterize the symptoms, determine the etiology of wet rot of tomatoes for growing in protected ground and propose measures to control the pathogen. The study was conducted by standard microbiological and phytopathological methods. The pathogenic properties of the isolates were studied on vegetative tomato plants using a suspension of bacterial cells with a titer of 107 CFU/ml. It was established that the defeat of tomato plants with soft bacterial rot in closed ground conditions prevails in the second half of the growing season. The development of the disease was 30‒34% for a prevalence of 45%. Diseases of tomato plants in greenhouses in the Kiev region of Ukraine are of bacterial origin, caused by the soft rot pathogen P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. Characteristic symptoms of wet tomato rot are discoloration, chlorosis and leaf necrosis, void stems, the appearance of depressed water-saturated areas in the stalk, accompanied by decay of the fetus. Effective control measures can be preventive and agricultural measures

Citrus Bacterial Canker

In Taiwan, numerous crops are threatened by Xanthomonas diseases such as citrus bacterial canker caused by X. citri subsp. citri and tomato bacterial spot mainly caused by X. euvesicatoria pv. perforans. Foliar sprays of copper-based bactericides have been frequently used for control of plant bacterial diseases. However, in Taiwan not much attention was paid on copper-resistant (CuR) Xanthomonas spp. and their impact on disease control efficacy of copper-based bactericides. In this study, CuR Xanthomonas isolates were collected from citrus and tomato in Taiwan. Compared with the pronounced effect on the copper sensitive isolate, spraying of copper hydroxide at the recommended rate of 0.5 kg/ha could not protect tomato plants against bacterial spot caused by the CuR isolate. Phylogenetic analysis of concatenated copper resistance genes, copL, copA, and copB, indicate that the Taiwanese CuR isolates belong to the worldwide clade. In addition to the three previously reported variants of the copB gene, analysis of complete copB sequences from xanthomonads associated with citrus and solanaceous hosts revealed the other three variants of copB and their global distribution. Copper-resistant Xanthomonas isolates from Taiwan have the two unreported variants of copB genes which differ from the other three previously reported types in the sizes and structures. The information provided here reveals the necessity to develop and include alternative measures rather than relying on foliar sprays of copper bactericides for sustainable control of tomato bacterial spot in Taiwan.

Detoxification Pathways

Strategies to minimize the effects of glyphosate (GLY), the most used herbicide worldwide, on non-target plants need to be developed. In this context, the current study was designed to evaluate the potential of nitric oxide (NO), provided as 200 µM sodium nitroprusside (SNP), to ameliorate GLY (10 mg kg−1 soil) phytotoxicity in tomato plants. Upon herbicide exposure, plant development was majorly inhibited in shoots and roots, followed by a decrease in flowering and fruit set; however, the co-application of NO partially prevented these symptoms, improving plant growth. Concerning redox homeostasis, lipid peroxidation (LP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels rose in response to GLY in shoots of tomato plants, but not in roots. Additionally, GLY induced the overaccumulation of proline and glutathione, and altered ascorbate redox state, but resulted in the inhibition of the antioxidant enzymes. Upon co-treatment with NO, the non-enzymatic antioxidants were not particularly changed, but an upregulation of all antioxidant enzymes was found, which helped to keep ROS and LP under control. Overall, data point towards the benefits of NO against GLY in tomato plants by reducing the oxidative damage and stimulating detoxification pathways, while also preventing GLY-induced impairment of flowering and fruit fresh mass.
