Understanding MeJA induced-resistance to <i>Phytophthora cinnamomi</i> in holm oak embryogenic lines.

ABSTRACT: Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) decline in Mediterranean forests is mostly driven by the synergistic effects of drought and Phytophthora cinnamomi, yet effective protection strategies remain elusive. Previously, we reported that elicitation of holm oak embryogenic lines with 50 µM methyl jasmonate (MeJA), did not impair somatic embryo growth and development while inducing jasmonic acid (JA) and phenolic compounds accumulation, also resulting in increased H₂O₂ levels and further JA production after challenged against active oomycete mycelium. Here, we evaluate the proteomic profile in the E00 embryogenic line of Q. ilex in response to this priming treatment and subsequent pathogen inoculation. To this end, embryogenic cultures were first treated with a
