    Abstract:
    In recent years, it is a hotspot research field on interaction mechanism between elicitor and plant. In this study, a novel hypersensitive response (HR)-inducing protein elicitor was isolated from the culture filtrate of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense and named PeFOC1, which consisted of 321 amino acids with a molecular weight of approximately 35 kDa. After the inducible expression in Escherichia coli and purification by ÄKTA explore system, the recombinant PeFOC1 also triggered a typical HR in tobacco. In addition, PeFOC1 induced a cascade of defense response in tobacco including production of hydrogen peroxide, deposition of callose, and accumulation of phenolic compounds. Moreover, PeFOC1 significantly improved systemic resistance of tobacco seedlings to tobacco mosaic virus and Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci. Real-time quantitative-PCR analysis indicated that several defense-related genes in tobacco, such as NtPR1a, NtNPR1, NtPAL, NtEDS1, NtPDF, and NtLOX, were all up-regulated by the treatment of PeFOC1. All these results collectively demonstrated that PeFOC1 triggered defense response and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tobacco. This research not only provides further research on immune mechanism between plant and elicitor, but also sheds new light on strategy for biocontrol in the future.
