- Abstract
- In situ hybridization and immunogold labeling were performed to examine the temporal and spatial expression pattern of pathogenesis-related protein 1 (CABPR1) mRNA and PR-1 protein in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) stem tissues infected by virulent and avirulent isolates of Phytophthora capsici. CABPR1 mRNA accumulation was confirmed in the infected pepper stem tissue by Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. Northern blot analysis showed that the temporal expression of CABPR1 mRNA varied greatly between compatible and incompatible interactions. An earlier expression of the CABPR1 gene, 6 h after inoculation, was observed in the incompatible interaction. In situ hybridization results revealed that CABPR1 mRNA was expressed in the phloem areas of vascular bundles in infected pepper stem tissues, but especially strongly in the incompatible interaction. PR-1 protein was predominantly found in the intercellular spaces of pepper stem cells in the compatible and incompatible interactions 24 h after inoculation. Strikingly, the immunogold labeling was associated with fibrillar and electron-dense material localized in the intercellular space. Dense labeling of PR-1 protein was also seen at the interface of the pathogen and the host cell wall, whereas few gold particles were detected over the host cytoplasm. However, PR-1 protein was not detected over the fungal cell wall in either interaction.
