Abstract
The impact of nematode pathogenesis is
reflected at tissue level with reduced sugar and an increased lipid and protein
levels. The redox enzyme activities showed a specific increase of dehydrogenase
activities in the infected host plant. Varied concentrations of acetone leaf
extract treatment of Adhatoda vasica improved the biochemical profiles
in nematode infected plants. The infected treated plants showed an increased
activities of all the parameters studied. The impact of pathogenesis was
reflected at tissue level with the depletion of sugar, and an elevated lipids
and protein levels in the host plant. The increment of protein observed in inoculated
and untreated plant tissue might be due to the action of proteolytic enzymes
from plant and nematode source. The total lipid content was found to be reduced
in the shoot system, whereas in the root system, it was found to be increased.
The resultant of these catalytic and synthetic enzyme is quite evidenced in the
increments of sugar, protein and lipid when leaf extract of Adhatoda vasica
was introduced as nematicide to the infected host plant. Further works are
needed to provide this fact.
