Elicitation of Active Resistance Mechanisms

  • Conference paper
Biology and Molecular Biology of Plant-Pathogen Interactions

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 1))

Abstract

In gene-for-gene systems involving biotrophic parasites, active defence mechanisms are usually induced by avirulent but initially not by virulent races of a parasite. The reason why active defence responses do not result from compatible race-cultivar combinations or are ineffective is of considerable interest. Heath [1], among others, has advanced the hypothesis that compatibility could be the result of a suppression of host resistance responses by a virulent parasite (induced susceptibility). If such induced susceptibility was an active plant response rather than a constitutive failure of recognition, metabolic inhibitors might be expected to turn a compatible combination into an incompatible one. This has usually not been found to occur. However, there are many reports of metabolic inhibitors turning the incompatible combination into a compatible one. This indicates that resistance needs to be actively induced [2,3], although it does not preclude the possibility that susceptibility results from a constitutive absence of the induction stimulus in the parasites.
