Early oxidative burst and anthocyanin-mediated antioxidant defense mechanism impart resistance against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in Indian mustard
The current study builds on our prior findings that anthocyanin buildup around the pathogen
inoculation site confers resistance to S. sclerotiorum resistance in Indian mustard. However,
the mechanism by which anthocyanin accumulation confers resistance is largely unknown.
To better understand this mechanism, we compared the disease responses and biochemical
profiling of two contrasting and wild type genotypes of Indian mustard [Sclerotinia stem rot-
resistant RH 1222–28 (WR) and susceptible Varuna (WS)], as well as two anthocyanin …
