Development and Metabolic Characterization of Horse Gram (<i>Macrotyloma uniflorum</i> Lam. (Verdc.)) Mutants for Powdery Mildew Resistance
Horse gram is one of the lesser-known beans widely grown in India. One hundred and twenty-three homozygous horse gram mutants were screened for powdery mildew (PM) disease resistance using the grade 0 to 4. The mutants were grouped based on the disease level of 0 to 2 (resistant) and susceptible (3...

description | Horse gram is one of the lesser-known beans widely grown in India. One hundred and twenty-three homozygous horse gram mutants were screened for powdery mildew (PM) disease resistance using the grade 0 to 4. The mutants were grouped based on the disease level of 0 to 2 (resistant) and susceptible (3 to 4). The PM altered the chlorophyll fluorescence (a/b ratio), maturity duration, and yield attributing traits. The yield loss ranged from 4.55% to 72.66%. After affirming the resistance level, the resistant mutant (RM) with minimum yield loss (scale:0) and the susceptible mutant (SM) with maximum loss (scale:4) were used for metabolomic analysis through GC-MS. PM infection induced expression of 66 metabolites representing 32 functional classes. The number of unique classes in RM and SM was 13 and 11, respectively, while eight were common. A fold change in the common metabolites indicated an enhanced accumulation of amine, alcohol, and ester in RM. Along with pathogen-induced defensive metabolites, RM produced silane and fluorene, whose biological significance in disease resistance is unknown. Though SM expressed defence-related bio-molecules, it failed to yield better. |
