Abstract
Bacillus cereus C1L has been demonstrated to induce systemic disease resistance against Botrytis elliptica in lily. The objective of this study was to investigate physiological responses of B. cereus C1L-triggered systemic resistance in lily cv. Star Gazer against B. elliptica. By histological and biochemical analyses, leaves inoculated with B. elliptica displayed cell death, H 2O 2 accumulation and lignin deposition. As plants were elicited with B. cereus C1L, cell death, H 2O 2 accumulation and lignin deposition in leaves caused by B. elliptica infection were suppressed, revealing that suppression of oxidative burst might be associated with B. cereus C1L-induced systemic resistance. In reactive oxygen species inhibitors assays, B. elliptica-caused lesion numbers and H 2O 2 accumulation in lily leaves were significantly reduced as leaves were pretreated with catalase or diphenylene iodonium. Furthermore, the expression of LsGRP1 and LsPsbR in leaves elicited with B. cereus C1L and inoculated with B. elliptica was decreased. The same expression pattern was also observed in leaves pretreated with catalase or diphenylene iodonium and inoculated with B. elliptica. These results suggest that B. cereus C1L-induced systemic resistance may be related to suppression or alleviation of oxidative stress and cell death of lily caused by B. elliptica. © 2012 KNPV.
