Diterpenoid compounds from Wedelia trilobata induce resistance to Tomato spotted wilt virus via the JA signal pathway in tobacco plants.

ABSTRACT: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) causes major losses of many crops worldwide. Several strategies have been attempted to control disease caused by TSWV. However, many challenges for the effective control of this disease remain. A promising approach is the use of abiotic or biotic inducers to enhance plant resistance to pathogens. We screened a diterpenoid compound from Wedelia trilobata, 3α-Angeloyloxy-9β-hydroxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (AHK), which had higher curative and protective effects against TSWV than the ningnanmycin control. The rapid initiation of the expression of all the TSWV genes was delayed by more than 1d in the curative assay, and the expression of the NSs, NSm and RdRp genes was inhibited. In addition, the replication of all TSWV genes in systemic leaves was inhibited
