| Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved. Polyploid plants often show improved resistance against many diseases, but whether they show increased resistance to grey mould, a devastating disease caused by Botrytis spp. fungi, is seldom reported. Stomata and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play dual roles in defence against grey mould, and it is unclear how their roles change after polyploidization. We addressed these questions in diploid and colchicine-induced Lilium rosthornii after B. elliptica infection. Tetraploids were less susceptible to grey mould, with lower morality rates in naturally infected plants. Before the stomata closed in artificially infected leaves, tetraploids, with larger stomatal apertures, were more easily invaded by the pathogen than diploids. However, the lesion area increased more slowly in tetraploids than in diploids, which may be explained by three causes based on histological and physiological characteristics. First, the pathogen required more time to penetrate the epidermis and closed stomata in tetraploids than in diploids. Second, the pathogen penetrated the reopened stomata more easily than the epidermis, and stomatal density was lower in tetraploids than in diploids. Third, tetraploids showed faster ROS accumulation, a more effective ROS-scavenging system and less malondialdehyde (MDA) accumulation than diploids. Stomatal starch and abnormal guard cell nuclei were present in the infected leaves. This phenomenon may be caused by oxalic acid, a pathogenic factor for many pathogens that promotes stomatal starch degradation and stomatal reopening in Sclerotinia spp., a pathogen closely related to Botrytis spp. This suggestion was primarily confirmed by immersing healthy leaves in oxalic acid solution |
