Sulphur supply and infection with Pyrenopeziza brassicae influence L-cysteine desulphydrase activity in Brassica napus L.

چکیده
Different field surveys have shown that sulphur (S) fertilization can increase the resistance of agricultural crops against fungal pathogens. The mechanisms of this sulphur-induced resistance (SIR) are, however, not yet known. Volatile S compounds are thought to play an important role because H(2)S is toxic to fungi. A field experiment was conducted to analyse the influence of S fertilization and the activity of H(2)S-releasing enzymes on fungal infections. Two levels of N and S fertilizers and two varieties of oilseed rape were investigated with respect to their potential to release H(2)S by the enzymatic activity of L-cysteine desulphydrase (LCD) and O-acetyl-L-serine(thiol)lyase (OAS-TL). LCD releases H(2)S during cysteine degradation, while OAS-TL consumes H(2)S during cysteine synthesis and free H(2)S is only released in a side reaction. All plots of the field trial showed an infection with Pyrenopeziza brassicae and leaf disc samples were taken from visibly infected leaf areas and apparently uninfected areas to investigate the reaction to the infection in relation to the treatments. Different S fractions and the activities of LCD and OAS-TL were measured to evaluate the potential to release H(2)S in relation to S nutrition and fungal infection. S fertilization significantly increased the contents of total S, sulphate, organic S, cysteine, and glutathione in the plants, but decreased LCD activity. Infection with P. brassicae increased cysteine and glutathione contents, as well as the activity of LCD. Therefore crops were able to react to a fungal infection with a greater potential to release H(2)S, which is reflected by an increasing LCD activity with fungal infection.

Genomes and Transcriptomes of Partners in Plant-Fungal- Interactions between Canola (Brassica napus) and Two Leptosphaeria Species
Leptosphaeria maculans 'brassicae' is a damaging fungal pathogen of canola (Brassica napus), causing lesions on cotyledons and leaves, and cankers on the lower stem. A related species, L. biglobosa 'canadensis', colonises cotyledons but causes few stem cankers. We describe the complement of genes encoding carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZys) and peptidases of these fungi, as well as of four rela...
متن کاملSulphur Deficiency Causes a Reduction in Antimicrobial Potential and Leads to Increased Disease Susceptibility of Oilseed Rape
The reduction of atmospheric sulphur dioxide pollution is causing increasing problems of sulphur deficiency in sulphur-demanding crop plants in northern Europe. Elemental sulphur and many sulphur containing compounds such as cysteine-rich antifungal proteins, glucosinolates (GSL) and phytoalexins play important roles in plant disease resistance. The aim of this work was to analyse the effect of...
