Abstract – The role of
weak-associated potato cell wall peroxidase in
potato resistance to ring rot pathogen is shown. The data obtained
showed that an addition of anti-horseradish peroxidase antibodies to
resistant to this pathogen potato cv Lugovskoy cell culture caused
block of weakassociated potato cell wall peroxidase activity and cell
death after addition of pathogen. These data allows us to suppose that
the resistance of potato to ring rot pathogen significantly depends on
activity of weak-associated potato cell wall peroxidase.
