Abstract

Previously, a chloroplast-localized Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (chCu,ZnSOD) was isolated from lily and the sense- and antisense- sequences of the lily chCu,ZnSOD were used to transform potato plants. Two selected lines, the sense- and anti-sense strand of transgenic plants, were further characterized for resistance to Erwinia carotovora, which is a severe pathogen affecting potato plants. Only the sense-strand transgenic potato, which contained less $O_2^{.-}$ and more $H_2O_2$ than wild-type and antisense-strand transgenic plants, showed increased resistance to E. carotovora. Additional studies using $O_2^{.-}$ or $H_2O_2$ scavengers in wild-type, sense-strand, and antisense-strand transgenic plants suggest that resistance to E. carotovora is induced by reduced $O_2^{.-}$ and is not influenced by $H_2O_2$. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first study suggesting that resistance to E. carotovora is enhanced by reduced $O_2^{.-}$, and not by increased amounts of $H_2O_2$.
