PG - 149-54 AB - Primary roots of soybean [Glycine max (L.), cv Harosoy 63] seedlings were inoculated with zoospores from either race 1 (incompatible, host resistant) or race 3 (compatible, host susceptible) of Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea (Pmg) and the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), isoflavone synthase, and dihydroxypterocarpan 6a-hydroxylase related to phytoalexin (glyceollin) biosynthesis, and of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Glc-6-PDH) and glutamate dehydrogenase (Glu-DH) were determined at various times after inoculation. About 2-4 h after inoculation with race 1, the activities of PAL, CHS, and pterocarpan 6a-hydroxylase were higher than after inoculation with race 3 and increased considerably thereafter. In contrast, activities of these enzymes in the compatible interaction were equal to or only slightly higher than in the controls over the entire infection period investigated (2-8 h). Isoflavone synthase did not increase until 7 h after inoculation with race 1. There were no significant differences in activities for Glc-6-PDH and Glu-DH between inoculated roots and controls. The results show that infection of soybean roots with zoospores of Pmg race 1 causes a race:cultivar-specific early induction of enzymes involved in glyceollin synthesis, whereas such an induction does not occur with zoospores of race 3. These findings are in agreement with the race:cultivar-specific accumulation of glyceollin in soybean roots reported previously [M. G. Hahn, A. Bonhoff, and H. Grisebach (1985) Plant Physiol. 77, 591-601].
