Abstract
A search for plant activators capable of inducing systemic resistance in sugarcane showed that plants pre-treated with synthetic signal inducers confer a high degree of resistance to Colletotrichum falcatum – the red rot pathogen. Among the various treatments, Acibenzolar S- methyl (ASM) was found to be very effective in restricting the pathogen colonization inside the inoculated cane stalk tissues. The induction of resistance was accompanied by a significant increase in peroxidases and polyphenoloxidases activities. A considerable decrease of pathogen titre in the pre-treated tissues as determined by ELISA, clearly demonstrated the restriction of pathogen colonization and proliferation in the sensitized cane stalks. Specific induction of new isoforms of peroxidases and polyphenoloxidases in C. falcatum elicitor treatment indicates the pathogen elicitor induced specific cellular response of sugarcane suspension-cultured cells.
