Abstract

The severity of bacterial blight was significantly reduced when rice seedlings were pre-treated with 2.20 mmol/L nickel nitrate 3 d before challenge inoculation with Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae strain 76-25. Concurrently, the activity of leaf POD increased, whereas activities of CAT and APX declined significantly H_(2)O_(2) and MDA tended to accumulate in the leaves following nickel nitrate treatment. The results suggested a close relationship between the resistance to Xanthomanas oryzae pv. oryzae induced by nickel nitrate and changes in the above-mentioned enzymes and products were involved.
