摘要
Infection sites/green islands were formed in host leaf tissue infected with drops of H. teres. They exhibited higher cytokinin-like activity, sugar and starch than their surrounding tissue and tissue under water drops. The cytokinin-like activity at the infection sites increased from 24 to 72 h of incubation. However, the cytokinin-like activity of the tissue surrounding the infection drops and the tissue under water drops fell from 24 to 72 h incubation. The culture filtrate extracts of the fungus also produced cytokinin-like activity which increased from 1 to 10 days incubation. Application of this culture filtrate extract evoked green island formation. Application of kinetin to host leaves duplicated the green island effect. Thin-layer chromatographic fractions of the tissue extracts and the culture filtrate extracts revealed that a major portion of cytokinin-like activity corresponded to zeatin and zeatin riboside. The presence of zeatin and zeatin riboside (both in tissue and culture filtrate extracts) was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography. Increases in the amounts of cytokinin-like substances, particularly zeatin and zeatin riboside, attributed to pathogen influence are suggested to be involved in infection and pathogenicity of H. teres.
