Light quality affects incidence of powdery mildew, expression of defence-related genes and associated metabolism in cucumber plants
2010-05-01
Abstract excerpt
To determine whether light quality affects the incidence of disease, we exposed cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Jinyan No. 4) plants at the 4-leaf stage to white and other monochromatic lights and tested the effects on plant response to Sphaerotheca fuliginea, defence-related gene expression and metabolic changes. Exposure to red light resulted in higher levels of H₂O₂ and salicylic acid (SA), and stronger expres...
