Drought predisposes Carya cathayensis to infection by Botryosphaeria dothidea through the accumulation of amino acids in the host plant. Our study provides the first analysis of how drought affects plant-pathogen interactions and proposes a model for understanding this relationship.
Abiotic stresses can affect the outcome of plant-pathogen interactions, mostly by predisposing the host plant to infection; however, the crosstalk between pathogens and plants related to such predisposition remains unclear. Here, we investigated the predisposition of Carya cathayensis to infection by the fungal pathogen Botryosphaeria dothidea (Bd) caused by drought in the host plant. High levels of drought stress resulted in a significant increase in plant susceptibility to Bd. Drought significantly induced the accumulation of H2O2 and the free amino acids Pro, Leu, and Ile, and in the phloem tissues of plants, and decreased the content of non-structural carbohydrates. In vitro assays showed that Bd was sensitive to H2O2; however, Pro played a protective role against exogenous H2O2. Leu, Ile, and Pro induced asexual reproduction of Bd. Our results provide the first analysis of how drought predisposes C. cathayensis to Botrysphaeria canker via amino acid accumulation in the host plant, and we propose a model that integrates the plant-pathogen interactions involved. Drought leads to decreased carbohydrates and increases in Pro, Leu, and Ile in Carya cathayensisthat predispose it to infection by the fungal pathogen Botryosphaeria dothidea.
