Abstract
Salicylic acid (SA) induces the mechanism of the plant defence and plays a role in plant -pathogen interactions. Following the nematode infection, effects of SA treatment on plant weights and the expression of pathogen related gene have not been fully understood. The present study was aimed to determine the effects of SA treatment on the expression Pathogenesis related 1 gene (PR1 gene) and alteration on plant parameters in tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). Plant seedlings were dripped within the SA solution. The expression of PR1 gene achieved using RT-PCR at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21-days post infection (dpi) with Meloidogyne incognita. Upregulation of PR1 gene was determined in early (1 dpi) and late (21 dpi). SA treatment and nematode infection altered plant parameters. SA treatment increased the plant defence mechanisms in tomato against Meloidogyne incognita.
