J. Fodor et al., In vivo detection of tobacco mosaic virus-induced local and systemic oxidative burst by electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, PLANT CEL P, 42(7), 2001, pp. 775-779
This is the first demonstration that tobacco mosaic virus-induced oxidative
stress in a necrotic host plant is signalled by an elevated level of monod
ehydroascorbate (MDA) radicals detected by electron paramagnetic resonance
spectroscopy. Furthermore, systemic acquired resistance induced in remote l
eaves of Xanthi-nc tobacco is also associated with stimulated MDA signals i
ndicative of a microoxidative burst.
