The effects of race-specific resistance as conditioned by Rps genes (rps, Rps1-k, Rps2, Rps3, Rps6) in two genetic backgrounds (Williams & Harosoy) on accumulation of soluble peroxidases were determined by a soybean peroxidase capture assay (SPCA) after inoculation with P. sojae races 2, 7, or 25. Peroxidase activity increased in all isolines during the 72 h after inoculation, but reactions varied depending on time after inoculation, genetic background, Rps gene and P. sojae race. Peroxidase activity was higher in race-specific resistant than in susceptible reactions at 72 h. after inoculation, except for plants with the Rps2 gene which confers a unique form of root resistance in addition to the whole plant race-specific resistance. Williams isolines had larger increases in peroxidase activity than Harosoy isolines when data were averaged across Rps genes, and was most evident when plants were inoculated with race 2. When soybeans were inoculated with race 7 Rps1-k resistant plants had the highest increase in peroxidase activity, but Rps2 susceptible plants had a significantly higher peroxidase activity than plants with rps, Rps3, and Rps6 that were also susceptible. Results from inoculations with race 25 were somewhat different, Rps2 resistant plants had the highest increase in peroxidase activity; however, plants with the Rps3 or Rps6 gene that were also resistant did not have a significantly higher peroxidase activity than susceptible plants with the rps or Rps1-k gene.
A method of detecting and assaying the halogenating activity of hemeperoxidases using the colored substrate, thionin, is reported here. In the presence of suitable amounts of peroxide and chloride, chloroperoxidase chlorinates thionin and bleaches the intense color of this substrate. The kinetics was quite similar to that of the established monochlorodimedone assay. Therefore, the thionin assay can be taken as an index of chlorinating activity. This reaction affords an escape from background problems and allows easy processing of large volumes of samples.
Extracellularly secreted plant peroxidases (POXs) are considered to catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) coupled to oxidation of plant hormone indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and defense-related compounds salicylic acid (SA), aromatic monoamines (AMAs) and chitooligosaccharides (COSs). This review article consists of two parts, which describe H(2)O(2)-dependent and H(2)O(2)-independent mechanisms for ROS generation, respectively. Recent studies have shown that plant POXs oxidize SA, AMAs and COSs in the presence of H(2)O(2) via a conventional POX cycle, yielding the corresponding radical species, such as SA free radicals. These radical species may react with oxygen, and superoxide (O(2)(.-)) is produced. Through the series of reactions 2 moles of O(2)(.-) can be formed from 1 moles of H(2)O(2), thus leading to oxidative burst. It has been revealed that the ROS induced by SA, AMAs and COSs triggers the increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration. Actually POXs transduce the extracellular signals into the redox signals that eventually stimulate the intracellular Ca(2+) signaling required for induction of defense responses. On the other hand, IAA can react with oxygen and plant POXs in the absence of H(2)O(2), by forming the ternary complex enzyme-IAA-O(2), which readily dissociates into enzyme, IAA radicals and O(2)(.-). This article covers the recent reports showing that extracellularly produced hydroxy radicals derived from O(2)(.-) mediate the IAA-induced cell elongation. Here a novel model for IAA signaling pathway mediated by extracellular ROS produced by cell-wall POXs is proposed. In addition, possible controls of the IAA-POX reactions by a fungal alkaloid are discussed.
