Some early work suggested that symbiotic infection may result in ISR. In that work, a split root system was used and it was discovered that inoculation on one side of the root followed by later inoculation on the second side of the roots resulted in nodules on the first side and inhibition of nodulation of the second side (Kosslak and Bohlool, 1984 Sargent et al., 1987). It is not known if this effect is a result of an LPS caused ISR. However, it has been reported that rice plants inoculated with R. leguminosarum biovar trifolii have an increased production of phenolics... 

The total biomass in the inoculated plants was higher by 20% than non inoculated Plants. The average height of the plants inoculated with Ecorrhiza (taken for 8 plants) as observed on 12.6.04 and 17.7.04 was found to be 39.75 and 78.63 cm for control plants and 47.41 and 89.5 cm for the inoculated plants (average taken for 12 plants). The increase in the average height in the inoculated plants was found to be 19.27% and 13.86% more at those dates as compared to the non inoculated plants. 

Singh (1977) tested various oils and PBO for their elfeci on local lesions of Scopotia sinensis plants inoculated with the potato spindle tuber viroid (PSTV). Ijical lesions were inhibited 100% by PBO. At a concentration of 1% PBO prevented infection of potato with PSTV in sprayed leaves for up to 4 days. Inhibition by PBO was observed in several potato cuHivars, but not in the tomato plants. 

Pares and co-workers (1992) showed that the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was present in leaves showing mosaic, mottled, and chlorotic symptoms. Subsequently, Davis and colleagues (1996) found that CMV was widely distributed in kava plants in all major kava-producing countries. They also showed that the symptoms of the dieback disease developed on plants inoculated with CMV, usually within three to four weeks after leaf symptoms first became visible. It is now accepted that the CMV is the main causative agent for the kava dieback disease. The disease is also aggravated by plant-sucking pests such as the leaf miner and aphids which create entry in the cells for the CMV, and by infections from soil borne nematodes, fungi, and bacteria. 

Whereas the UK and the Swedish background papers were equally broad in scope and tried to cover all aspects of S T developments of the previous five years that are of relevance to the BWC, South Africa focused exclusively on developments in terms of biocontrol agents and plant inoculants, 28 thereby reminding states parties that the prohibitions of the BWC apply to biological warfare against plants - and animals, for that matter - as well. Unfortunately, due to the failure to successfully conclude the Fifth Review Conference and the concomitant absence of a Final Document,29 the shared interpretations of BWC states parties concerning scientific advances of relevance to the BWC have not been recorded in a consensual document. 

It is interesting to note the presence in this polysaccharide of 3-N-acetyl-3,6-dideoxygalactose (D-Fuc-p3NAc), which is an uncommon monosaccharide identified by NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS analysis of its methylalditol acetate [92]. LPS from an olive strain, avirulent on oleander, attenuated the response of oleander plants inoculated with a homologous strain [93].

Studies with simulated acidic rain found growth of the bacterial plant pathogen Pseudomonas phaseolicola totally inhibited by a solution of pH 3.2.When these solutions were used for inoculation of Phaseolus vulgaris Red Kidney test plants, no infection or disease development was observed. Control plants inoculated with solutions at pH 5.6 developed normal disease patterns. Additional studies with other host-parasite pairs are summarized in Table II. 

The most studied aspect of phytoalexin elicitation is that generated by fungal pathogens of plants. Karban et al.[22] found induced resistance and interspecific competition between spider mites and a vascular wilt fungus. McIntyre et al. [2A] demonstrated that 7 days after tobacco plants were infected with tobacco mosaic virus, reproduction of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, was significantly reduced on these infected plants. Inoculation of plants with tobacco mosaic virus induced resistance to several pathogens, however the mechanism for induced resistance was not characterized. 

Interestingly, it has been reported that common bean plants inoculated with a phaC mutant of R. etli show an increased nitrogen-fixation capacity and enhanced growlh in comparison with plants inoculated with the wild-type bacterium (CevaUos et al. 1996). An important difference between S. meliloti and/ , etli is that in the former.

An increase in thymol derivatives production was observed in roots of Inula ensifolia plants inoculated with G. intraradices and Glomus clarum the highest concentration of all the analyzed compounds was found in roots colonized by G. clarum [160]. Enhanced concentrations of anthraquinone derivatives (hypericin and pseudohypericin) were reported in H. perforatum shoots after inoculation with G. intraradices and with a mixed AM fungal inoculum [161]. 

Leaves of mycorrhizal artichoke grown in microcosm showed enhanced phenolic complement, depending on the inoculum composition. TPC and ARP were significantly higher (50 % and 33 %, respectively) in plants inoculated with the Glomus mixture, compared with control plants (Fig. 85.1). In the field, inoculated plants showed higher phenolics content in the edible parts (flower heads), compared with controls, with the highest values detected in plants inoculated with the...
