    Notes: Abstract Plant cell walls play a major role in the outcome of host-parasite interactions. Wall fragments released from the plant, and/or the fungal pathogen, can act respectively as endogenous and exogenous elicitors of the defence response, and other wall components, such as callose, lignin, or hydroxyproline-rich glycoproteins, can inhibit pathogen penetration and/or spreading. We have previously demonstrated that calli from tomato cultivars resistant in vivo to Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici show a high amount of polysaccharides in vitro. The aim of the present work was to assess the possible role of polysaccharide content and/or synthetic capacity in determining the competence of plant cells for active defence. For this purpose, tomato cell clones with increased and decreased polysaccharide (FL+, FL-) and callose (A+, A-) content have been selected by means of specific stains as visual markers and tested for the effect of these changes on the extent of response to Fusarium. The analysis of several parameters known to be indicative of active defence (cell browning after elicitor treatment, peroxidase and β-glucanase induction and inhibition of fungal growth in dual culture) clearly shows that FL+ and A+ clones have acquired an increased competence for the activation of defence response. The results are thoroughly discussed in terms of an evaluation of the relative importance of constitutive and/or inducible polysaccharide synthetic capacity for plant response to pathogens, and their possible regulation by plant physiological backgrounds.

    Tumor formation and morphogenesis on different Nicotiana sp and hybrids induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA mutants (1987)

    Notes: A series of experiments are presented that have been performed to observe the interactions between Agrobacterium tumefaciens strains mutated in the T-DNA genes involved in indoleacetic acid and cytokinin biosynthesis and several Nicotiana species and hybrids. Infections were induced on leaf cuttings of Nicotiana debneyi, N. knightiana, N. clevelandii, N. bigelovii var bigelovii, N. bigelovii var quadrivalvis, N. glauca, N. langsdorffii, the amphidiploid tumorous hybrid N. glauca × N. langsdorffii, and a nontumorous mutant of it. The effect of deletions of the Ti plasmid varied according to plant genotype. Insertion mutants in iaaM and iaaH suppressed tumor formation in N. langsdorffii, reduced it in N. bigeloviivar quadrivalvis, had no effect in N. glauca and the two amphidiploid hybrids, and promoted tumorigenesis when compared to the wild-type Agrobacterium strain B6S3 in N. bigelovii N. debneyi, and N. knightiana. The same mutations induced shoot formation in N. glauca, increased it in N. debneyi, and suppressed root formation in N. knightiana. On the other hand, an insertion mutation of the isopentenyl transferase gene (ipt-) had no effect in N. bigelovii var quadrivalvis, N. debneyi, the tumorous hybrid, suppressed tumor formation in N. langsdorffii, and inhibited it in N. glauca, the nontumorous hybrid, N. bigelovii var bigelovii, and N. knightiana. Insertion in ipt suppressed shoot formation in the nontumorous hybrid and inhibited it in the nontumorous amphidiploid and N. debneyi, while promoting root formation in N. glauca and N. debneyi.The suggestion of the existence of specific hormone equilibria necessary for the shift to each morphogenetic pattern was supported by experiments with exogenous hormone treatments of three genotypes (N. glauca, N. langsdorffii, and the nontumorous N. glauca × N. langsdorffii).
