Study Notes
Problem Statement
- Bacterial canker disease (Clavibacter Michiganders ssp. michiganensis - Cmm) significantly impacts tomato production globally.
- Canker disease causes substantial yield losses.
- Systemic infection and plant death are caused by the pathogen invading the vascular system.
- There's a need to explore defense mechanisms to minimize crop losses.
Research Questions
- How does salicylic acid (SA) influence the expression of Pathogenesis-Related (PR) genes (Glu A and PR1a) in tomatoes infected with Cmm?
- What is the antibacterial activity of these PR proteins against Cmm in different tomato varieties?
Research Objectives
- Investigate the impact of bacterial canker on the expression of PR genes Glu A and PR1a.
- Examine the effect of bacterial canker on the growth, shape, and biochemical changes in tomato plants.
- Study how salicylic acid affects the expression of PR genes Glu A and PR1a.
- Analyze how salicylic acid influences growth, shape, and biochemistry in both bacterial canker-infected and healthy tomato plants.
