Abstract:To investigate the inductive effect of salicylic acid (SA) on the resistance of Pyrus bretschneider cv Yali to black spot disease (Alternaria kikuchiana Tanaka), the physiological and biochemical characteristics of detached pear leaves at the age of 5 to 10 days were measured after application of SA. The results showed that exogenous SA significantly improved the resistance of Yali pear (Pyrus bretschneider cv Yali) leaves to black spot disease. For the SA treatment at 0.02mmol·L−1 SA concentration, the disease index was the lowest, and the induced resistance reached up to 63.9%. Furthermore, SA induced local and systemic resistance of Yali pear against the black spot disease. Expression of systemic resistance in leaves was detectable 3 d after SA treatments and lasted for 10 d. POD, PPO, and PAL activities of Yali pear leaves increased by SA treatment. It is suggested that exogenous SA solution as a chemical activator could induce the resistance of Yali pear to black spot disease.
