Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivar Cas 209 carries the gene Xa-10 for resistance to race 2 of Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae, the bacterial blight pathogen. When seedling leaves of Cas 209 plants were infiltrated with bacterial cell suspensions of strain PXO86Rif (race 2, incompatible), total peroxidase activity in extracts from extracellular spaces increased almost threefold between 16 and 24 hours after inoculation. The increase in total peroxidase activity in extracellular extracts was correlated with the appearance of a 43-kilodalton peroxidase isoenzyme with an isoelectric point of 8.6. Increases in the activities of two anionic peroxidase isoenzymes also were associated with the incompatible interaction. Later during the interactions, total peroxidase activities increased in both compatible (cv Cas 209 infiltrated with race 1, PXO61Sm) and control (Cas 209 infiltrated with water) treatments, but final activity levels were less than that observed in the incompatible combination. Similarly, the cationic peroxidase was detected in all three treatments by 48 hours after infiltration, but at reduced levels in compatible and water-infiltrated control treatments relative to the incompatible combination. Accumulation of this peroxidase in extracellular spaces thus may play a role in the defense response in cultivar Cas 209.
