Abstract: Disease to maize southern leaf spot disease was induced by culture filtrate of Bipolaris maydis race C toxin cultivation.A pair of homokaryon B37 inbred lines in maize was used as the test material.The toxin activity was measured by the detached leaf method to find its optimal concentration as a plant defense activator that induces maize disease resistance,and several enzymes involved in disease resistance were presented.The lesion area on the leaves was significant difference by ANOVA.They were(0.30±0.14) and(0.36±0.17) mm2 respectively after pretreated with 1∶50 and 1∶60 of culture filtrate of Bipolaris maydis race C toxin cultivation were(0.30±0.14) and(0.36±0.17) mm2 respectively.It was decreased 7.5-9 times compared with the CK(2.70±0.24) mm2.At the same time,the changes of peroxidase(POD),phenylalanine ammonialyase(PAL),malondialdenvde(MDA) activities were determined.During 0-72 h inspection,the effect of 1∶60 concentration was better than that of 1∶50,PAL activity increased by 23.4%,POD activity increased by 65.9%,but the malondialdenvde(MDA) content decreased by 28.2% compared with the CK.It was shown that culture filtrate of Bipolaris maydis race C toxin cultivation itself can function as an elicitor to induce host disease resistance in maize.

Key words: Bipolaris maydis race C, Culture filtrate of toxin cultivation, Phenylalanine ammonialyase CPAL), Per-oxidase (POD), Malondialdcnvde MDA (MDA), Irxluced resistance
