Trehalose increases tomato drought tolerance, induces defenses, and increases resistance to bacterial wilt disease
2021-07-26
Abstract excerpt
Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease, leading to severe crop losses. Xylem sap from R. solanacearum -infected tomato is enriched in the disaccharide trehalose. Water-stressed plants also accumulate trehalose, which increases drought tolerance via abscisic acid (ABA) signaling. Because R. solanacearum -infected plants suffer reduced water flow, we hypothesized that bacterial wilt physiologically m...
