Abstract
A heat-treatment (30-60s at 50 degrees C) of young barley seedlings of the highly susceptible cultivar Golden Promise reduced subsequent infection by the powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe graminis f.sp hordei Shorter heat-treatments (30 or 40s) caused transient protection, whereas protection after longer heat-treatments (50 or 60s) was more persistent On heat-treated leaves, the fungus was mainly stopped at the stage of first appressorial penetration, in the absence of papilla formation or hypersensitive cell death Heat-treated leaves produced fewer protoplasts on treatment with cellulase and pectinase than controls thus indicating effects on cell-walls Protection did not correlate with enhanced accumulation of extracellular, pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, compared to the susceptible interaction on control leaves Two-dimensional analysis of in vitro translation products revealed a pattern of accumulating transcripts 14 h after heat-treatment, that was different from the pattern induced during a 4 h heat-shock period at 38 degrees C, with partial overlap. A new mechanism of acquired resistance is proposed that is independent of papilla formation, hypersensitive cell death or accumulation of extracellular PR proteins but may be based on cell-wall modification and the induction of new host genes.
