摘要

Pest infestation on crops trigger high cellular oxidative stress. The strong indicator of oxidative stress initiation are lipoxgenases. We attempted to examine the status of LOX 2 gene and its encoded protein in B. juncea- B. fruticulosa derived lines against Lipaphis erysimi infestation. Cultivated brassicas display lack of resistance against mustard aphid infestation. Brassica fruticulosa, a wild crucifer is a source of enriched resistance gene pool. LOX 2 activity and LOX2 gene expression fold changes were higher in resistant genotypes than susceptible genotypes following 48 h (9.79 and 6.52 fold, respectively) of aphid infestation. Highly resistant test genotype, B. fruticulosa and resistant IL Ad4-64 displayed 1.87 and 3.83-fold decline in malondialdehyde content at 48 h post-infestation. We depicted pivotal role of LOX 2 in resistance during Brassica-mustard aphid interactions which has not been documented so far.
