Abstract:

The activities of cell walldegrading enzymes in poplar cultivars infected by Melampsora laricipopulinawere studied. The results showed that PMG, PMTE, C-X and β-glucosidase played roles during infection. After inoculation, the activity of PMG in both susceptible and resistant cultivars had two peak values respectively in 2 dpi and 5 dpi. The activities of PMTE and βglucosidase had their peak values in 3dpi, and C-X in 2 dpi. The activities of PMG and PMTE were higher while the activities of C-X and β-glucosidase were relatively lower. Activities of these cell walldegrading enzymes were significant higher in susceptible cultivars than those in resistant cultivars. The results suggested that these cell walldegrading enzymes played certain roles in infection of M. larici populina.

Key words: Melampsora laricipopulina, cell walldegrading enzymes, poplar
