Abstract
Aims
Differential effects of the seed exudates of susceptible and resistant soybean cultivars Sloan and Williams 82 on the zoospores of soilborne pathogenic Phytophthora sojae are not clear. This study aims to elucidate the role of the seed exudates in the host resistance of soybean against P. sojae during prior to infection.
Methods
The response behaviors of P. sojae zoospores to the seed exudates were performed in an assay chamber and concave slide, the proteomes of P. sojae zoospores treated with the seed exudates were analyzed by TMT method. The expression of genes encoding key proteins was quantified by qRT-PCR.
Results
The zoospores of P. sojae exhibited significant chemotaxis to the both seed exudates and a stronger attracted was found to the seed exudates of Sloan. The seed exudates of Sloan also had a stonger promotion than that of Williams 82 on encystment of zoospores. During the responding process, the key proteins in zoospores related to chemotaxis were upregulated, the upregulation fold of these proteins in responding to Sloan was higher than that of Williams 82. Proteins differentially expressed promote the encystment of zoospores. The changes in expression of these proteins was several fold higher in the zoosprores exposed to the seed exudates of Sloan than that of Williams 82.
Conclusions
Evidence of differential changes in protein expression in P. sojae zoospores exposed to the seed exudates of both soybean supports the differential developmental behaviors such as chemotaxis and encystment of the zoospores in responding to the two seed exudates.
