Cross-protection of pepper plants stressed by copper against a vascular pathogen is accompanied by the induction of a defence response
2010-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants stressed by copper showed less disease symptoms after inoculation with Verticillium dahliae Kleb. We tested if such protection was accompanied of a defence response induced by copper stress by measurement of peroxidase and chitinase activity, phenolics and the expression of four genes related to plant defence. Peroxidase activity, but not chitinase, increased in roots, stem and l...
