摘要
Transgenic tobacco plants expressing an inhibitor of ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation, ubiquitin variant ubR48, spontaneously formed necrotic lesions and displayed altered responsiveness to tobacco mosaic virus attack. These plants were analyzed for the accumulation of defense-related compounds and the expression of pathogenesis-related proteins, which serve as convenient markers for systemic acquired resistance. Callose was detected in the cells of vascular bundles and in the leaf blade. In addition, ubR48 transgenic plants constitutively accumulated enhanced levels of salicylic acid (SA) and/or its glucoside. Accumulation of SA glucoside coincided with high levels of pathogenesis-related protein 1, underscoring the similarity of certain changes in ubR48-expressing plants to an authentic defense reaction.
