GLOMERELLA CINGULATA SPORE GERMINATION AND CHITINASE DETECTION IN RESISTANCE-INDUCED TEA PLANTS Authors: SOM PAUL R
ABSTRACT
Elucidation of the mechanism behind induced resistance of tea plants with Benzothiadiazole (BTH) was
done in the present study. The progress of Glomerella cingulata (Stoneman) Spauld & Schrenk (brown
blight pathogen) spore germination, appressoria formation and germ tube length were calculated at 24h.
SDS-PAGE analysis showed an extra 12 kDa protein in treated plants. Western Blot with polyclonal
antibody of chitinase showed a distinct band of 29kDa in the treated inoculated plants.
