Abstract:

To study the selective mechanism of Paracoccus marginatus to different cassava cultivars, the activity change of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in P. marginatus after feeding on different cassava cultivars for 1, 2 and 4 days were determined by spectrophotometry. The results showed that the activity of antioxidant enzyme showed significant difference while P. marginatus feeding on different cassava cultivars. The activity of SOD in P. marginatus was the lowest after feeding on ‘C1115’, the activity of CAT was the lowest after feeding on ‘SC8002’, and the activity of POD and PPO was the lowest after feeding on ‘SC8’. Furthermore, the activity of SOD, CAT, POD and PPO decreased significantly compared to those of the control after feeding on the ‘J1301’ ‘SC11’ ‘SC8002’ ‘Dongguan Hongwei’ ‘SC8’ ‘Myanmar’ and ‘C1115’ at any analysis time. The above cassava cultivars could inhibit the activity of antioxidant enzymes of P. marginatus, which could interfere their normal reactive oxygen species metabolism and probably possessed the resistance potential to P. marginatus .

Key words: Paracoccus marginatus, cassava cultivars, antioxidant enzyme, activity change
