摘要
Differential induction of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in downy mildew-resistant and -susceptible genotypes of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum ) was observed on inoculation with Sclerospora graminicola . SOD activity was studied in resistant (IP18292) and susceptible (23B) pearl millet seedlings inoculated with S. graminicola . SOD activity increased by 2.3-fold in resistant seedlings upon inoculation. SOD activity was greatest in roots, with a specific activity of 3182 U per mg protein, after inoculation. SOD activity increased in all the resistant genotypes upon inoculation with S. graminicola . Native PAGE analysis showed four isozymes of SOD, three of which (SOD-1, -2 and -4) were Cu/Zn-SOD, whereas isozyme SOD-3 was Mn-SOD. This study also revealed increased intensity of all four isozymes of SOD in the resistant genotype upon inoculation. The involvement of SOD in pearl millet (host)-downy mildew pathogen interaction is discussed.
