Abstract:
Aims: The goal of this study was to identify the induced resistance pathway mediated by biochar in the tomato – Botrytis cinerea pathosystem. Methods: Tomato wild types and mutants modified in their salicylic acid (SA), ethylene (ET) or jasmonic acid (JA) metabolism were grown in a potting medium amended with biochar produced at 450 ºC from greenhouse wastes, to identify the possible pathway(s) involved in biochar-mediated resistance to B. cinerea. Early cellular response of H2O2 accumulation was biochemically tested, and the transcriptional changes of 12 defense-related genes upon B. cinerea challenge of detached leaflets were analyzed. Results: Biochar amendment resulted in about 50 % reduction in B. cinerea disease severity in all tested genotypes with the exception of a JA deficient mutant, def1. Biochar amendment induced priming of early as well as late-acting defense responses particularly in the genes Pti5 (ET-related) and Pi2 (JA-related), which are known to be crucial in resistance against B. cinerea. Stronger and earlier H2O2 accumulation subsequent to B. cinerea inoculation in all genotypes was observed as a result of biochar amendment, with the exception of the def1 mutation. Conclusion: Biochar-mediated IR in the B. cinerea-tomato pathosystem involves the JA pathway. © 2015, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
