Abstract
Certain plant-derived agents (PDA) which could induce resistance in okra leaves against powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and biochemical changes in treated leaves were investigated during 2011 and 2012 growing seasons. At the two-leaf old, four- and eight-week leaves of the greenhouse-grown okra plants were sprayed with either PDA two days before inoculation with conidia. Among all tested PDA, neem seed oil (NSO) caused the highest protection, followed by jojoba oil (JO) and extract of Reynoutria sachalinensis. Moreover, levels of total protein, activity of peroxidase, polyphenyloxidase and chitinase and total phenols content of treated two-leaf old highly increased after application of NSO and JO, but not by the pathogen (untreated control). Finally, based on conidia germination, lack of the fungitoxic effect of JO and RE and also the slight effect of NSO (9–13.75%) may demonstrate the main role of these agents for inducing resistance through the activation of biochemical defence in treated leaves.
