Abstract
The study was aimed to search out the probable molecule behind the activation of a broad spectrum resistance during Pseudomonas aeruginosa WS-1 mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR) in Capsicum annuum where plants were challenged inoculated with its pathogen Colletotrichum capsici 24 h after induction of ISR. On the fourth day after pathogen inoculation a significant increase of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, other defence enzymes and phenolics as well as a two-fold increase of nitric oxide (NO) a potent defence signalling molecule were observed. Treatment of the host with NO donor also induced the same defence molecule in a similar manner. Results suggest the possible signalling role of NO in ISR during crosstalk between ISR inducing agent and pathogen within the host system.
