Abstract

By treatment with oxalate muskmelon cultivar “Wangwenxiang”, which is sensitive to squash mosaic virus (SqMV), develops systemic resistance to SqMV significantly. The challenge inoculation experiments indicate that the symptom of oxalate-treated plants gets much slighter, the virus content is only 4% reduced to. The peroxidase activity increases by five times, three new isoperoxidases are induced, and lignin content increases by 82.9 %. These results indicate that oxalate induces systemic resistance of muskmelon to SqMV while it induces increase of peroxidase activity, new isoperoxidases and content of lignin in the plants treated with oxalate.
