Induced Abiotic Stress: Prospects for Powdery Mildew Resistance in Tomato Plants

Inducing plant immune system during its seedling stage with weak shocks of abiotic stress can be a novel approach to disease control. An experiment was conducted with tomato as a model plant to increase its resistance towards powdery mildew disease (Oidium spp. and Leveillula spp.) by inducing its innate immune system at an early seedling stage through weak shocks of drought. Plants were treated with three levels of drought stress: low, medium and high (75%, 50% and 25% field capacities respectively). Twenty five days after drought induction, plants were inoculated with low and high doses ... view more»
