Suppressive efect of knotweed and other selected plant species on the germination and foliar necrosis
Šerá, Božena ; Plachká, E. ; Vrchotová, Naděžda
Selected plant species Reynoutria sachalinensis, Carum carvi, Sophora japonica and Impatiens glandulifera was used for testing the toxic effects on the model species of white mustard (Leucosinapis album) and oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Two types of test were used. First, the growth of seeds was tested on the model species in the soil mixed with the various aboveground parts of selected plants. Second, leaves of the model plants were treated with extracts from selected plant species and with the pathogen of Leptosphaeria maculans isolate. The reaction to the impact of selected plant species in the soil substrate was analogue in both of white mustard and oilseed rape. Greater phytotoxicity was recorded for the leaves of Reynoutria sachalinensis and the fruits of Carum carvi. Small phytotoxicity was relatively low when the substrate with the tree bark of Sophora japonica was used.

Mode of action of resistance inducers against powdery mildew in wheat
Grigová, Vendula ; Šašek, M. ; Věchet, L. ; Burketová, Lenka
One of the method, how to increase resistance of plants against disease without changes of their genom is use of phenomenon known as induced resistance. Plant protection in system of induced resistance is based on activation of defence mechanisms of plants by stimulation of methabolic and structural changes in plants. For induction of resistance is used many compounds of chemical and biological origin. This work informs about mode of action of inductors used in pathosystem wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) – powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici). Efficiency of cited inducers were analysed by means of markers genes expression and by finding out infective structures of Blumeria. Slight expression of WCI5 (wheat chemically induced gene) ) and WCK1 (gene encoding a MAP kinase in wheat) was detected. Test of germinability showed that BTH (benzothiadiazol) treatment and treatment of oak bark extract caused an inhibition of germinative activity of Blumeria graminis spores on wheat.
