Abstract:
Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is a very serious hazard to vegetable production worldwide. This study is focused on evaluation of resistance stimulated by the plant growth-promoting fungus, Phoma sp. GS8-3, or nanosilica against CMV under pot and field conditions. The specific aim was to illustrate the mechanism of resistance stimulated by GS8-3 against CMV using microarray technology. Treatments with GS8-3 as well as nanosilica significantly decreased CMV severity and titer in tobacco and cucumber under pot and field conditions, respectively. Growth characters of tobacco and cucumber were significantly increased due to GS8-3 inoculation followed by nanosilica compared with control and BTH treatments. Microarray results showed highly upregulation of defense-related genes expression specially those related to heat shock proteins. Therefore, GS8-3 as well as nanosilica is suitable to serve as effective inducers against CMV in cucumber plants.
