Involvement of PpMYB306 in Pichia guilliermondii-induced peach fruit resistance against Rhizopus stolonifer

Yanfei Li et al.

Summary: Antagonistic yeasts, such as Pichia guilliermondii, can enhance the disease resistance of harvested fruit by regulating the transcription of lignin biosynthesis genes. In this study, P. guilliermondii treatment increased the activities and expression of C4H, CAD, and POD enzymes, as well as the lignin content in peach fruit infected with R. stolonifer. Transcriptome analysis revealed that PpMYB306, a MYB transcription factor, negatively regulated the expression of lignin biosynthesis genes by binding to their promoters. Overexpression of PpMYB306 decreased lignin content and increased the susceptibility of peach fruit to soft rot. Overall, these findings highlight the importance of P. guilliermondii treatment in enhancing disease resistance in peach fruit through the regulation of lignin biosynthesis.

Thiamine induces resistance in tobacco against black shank

Tian Suohui et al.

Summary: The study reveals that thiamine can effectively enhance tobacco resistance against Phytophthora nicotianae by inhibiting its mycelial growth and sporangium production. Thiamine also enhances the defense mechanisms of tobacco plants by increasing H2O2 accumulation and the activity levels of CAT, POD, and PAL to combat pathogen attack. Additionally, thiamine upregulates several defense-related genes. Thus, thiamine may serve as an attractive alternative to chemical fungicides in tobacco plant disease management.
