Induced inaccessibility in pea to powdery mildew: insights gained from the use of<br />

inhibitors<br />

The term induced inaccessibility has been adopted to describe situations w<strong>here</strong> early failed attacks<br />

by biotrophic pathogens to plant cells increase resistance to later attacks in that and neighboring<br />

cells. This kind of resistance widely relay in penetration resistance events however the particular<br />

cellular and molecular bases remain unknown. In the present study, we investigated the role of de<br />

novo protein formation and cytoskeleton assembly on induced inaccessibility of pea (Pisum sativum)<br />

cells. For this aim, we sequentially inoculated pea leaves of the susceptible cv. Mesire, with an<br />

inappropriate powdery mildew species (Blumeria graminisf. sp. avenae), which causes a non-host<br />

interaction and then with pea powdery mildew (Erysiphe pisi). The epidermal pea cells in which<br />

the inappropriate powdery mildew failed to penetrate and their neighboring cells showed<br />

inaccessibility to subsequent infections by the pea powdery mildew. However, when the pea<br />

plants were treated with cytochalasin, an specific inhibitor of actin polymerization and<br />

cytoesqueleton formation, or cicloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, the inaccessibility were<br />

greatly repressed. Microscopic and proteomics approaches are being carried out to understand<br />

how this events influence the inaccessibility in pea.<br />
