Popis: Purpose: Phytophthora sojae does not infect the nonhost maize (Zea mays L.) but could infect the nonhost common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). Soybean seed exudates participate in mediating host resistance to P. sojae before infection. This study aimed to elucidate the role of nonhost seed exudates in mediating nonhost resistance to P. sojae before infection. Methods: The response behavior of P. sojae zoospores to the seed exudates was determined using an assay chamber and a concave slide, and the proteomes of P. sojae zoospores treated with the seed exudates were analysed with the tandem mass tag (TMT) method. The key proteins were quantified by parallel reaction monitoring (PRM).Results: Maize seed exudates exerted a repellent effect on zoospores, whereas common bean seed exudates did not exhibit any attraction to zoospores but could dissolve the cysts. The key proteins related to zoospores chemotaxis showed no significant changes in response to maize seed exudates, but the key proteins in arachidonic acid pathway were downregulated and controlled the repellent behavior of zoospores. Proteins protecting the cell membrane structure were significantly downregulated in zoospores responding to common bean seed exudates, which confirmed the bacteriolytic effect of common bean seed exudates on cysts. Conclusion: Maize and common bean seed exudates mediate part of the nonhost resistance via different mechanisms prior to P. sojae infection. The immune of maize to P. sojae is due to the repellent effect of maize seed exudates on zoospores. Common bean seed exudates participate in mediating nonhost resistance by dissolving cysts.
