Title
Induced Resistance to Viral Infection and Soluble Protein Alterations in Cucumber and Cowpea Plants

Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Virus lesions induced localized resistance in cowpea leaves.
- Intervention effect Virus lesions induced localized resistance in cucumber cotyledons.
- Intervention effect Cucumber first leaves developed acquired systemic resistance after lesions and homologous challenge.
- Observation The resistance affected symptom expression rather than virus multiplication.
- Intervention effect Osmotic stress before inoculation elicited resistance in cowpea leaves.
- Intervention effect Virus elicited necrosis altered soluble protein profiles in both species.
- Intervention effect Necrosis induced apparently novel alpha and beta protein fractions in cowpea leaves.
- Intervention effect Necrosis induced an apparently novel gamma protein fraction in cucumber tissue.
- Intervention effect Actinomycin D treatment reduced the novel protein fractions.
- Association Resistant tissue usually lacked the apparently novel protein fractions.
- Mechanism The authors propose that reduced cell turgidity under treatments alters susceptibility to viral infection.
