Continuous Production Of Extracellular Antioxidants In Suspension Cells Attenuates The Oxidative Burst Detected In Plant Microbe Interactions, C. Jacyn Baker, Nichole R. O'Neil, Kenneth Deahl, John Lydon

United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service / University of Nebraska-Lincoln: Faculty Publications

Suspension cells of Solanacearum tuberosum and Nicotiana tabacum placed in fresh buffer rapidly produce and maintain significant pools of extracellular antioxidants. The extracellular antioxidant was detected by first adding a known amount of exogenous H₂O₂ to samples and then immediately measuring the remaining H₂O₂. The difference between the amount added and amount remaining was used to determine the antioxidant capacity of the sample. This extracellular antioxidant pool attenuates levels of hydrogen peroxide produced during plant–bacterial interactions. When tobacco cells were inoculated with an isolate Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae that causes a hypersensitive response …
