SOME BIOCHEMICAL CHANGES INDUCED BY PLUM POX IN PLUM |
| Authors: | L. Bulgaru, M. Isac |
| Abstract:
Plum pox virus induces biochemical changes in plants related to the attack level (virulence) and climatic conditions. The paper presents some of the results recorded following the biochemical investigations. They regard changes induced by plum pox virus within the photosynthesis cycle, the enzyme activity, as well as the quantitative accumulation of growth substances and soluble glucides on the varieties of plum with different sensitivity to this virus. The observations have been taken on leaves and shoots after the occurrence of symptoms, when the infection stability was noticed. Following the performed investigations, we have found that the resistance and tolerance to this virus is the result of several endogenous factors and biochemical processes for which some genes are responsible. | |
