A number of terpenes similar to the potato sesquiterpenoid stress metabolites (SSM) were tested for their effect on the accumulation of rishitin and lubimin in potato tuber slices treated with an elicitor preparation from cultures of P. infestans. Abscisic acid (ABA) was the only compound that consistently and strongly inhibited rishitin and lubimin accumulation. ABA also markedly inhibited the accumulation of rishitin and lubimin in slices inoculated with incompatible races of P. infestans. Incompatible races grew and sporulated on slices treated with ABA prior to inoculation, and the reaction was indistinguishable from that induced by compatible races. ABA did not affect the accumulation of rishitin and lubimin or fungal growth in slices inoculated with compatible races of the fungus, and it did not stimulate fungal growth in defined media. C. cucumerinum, a pathogen of cucumber but not of potato, grew well and sporulated abundantly on tuber slices treated with ABA prior to inoculation. ABA increased the accumulation of rishitin and lubimin in slices inoculated with C. cucumerinum. The reduced accumulation of rishitin and lubimin in potato slices treated with ABA apparently was not responsible for the conversion of incompatible to compatible interactions with P. infestans. The data cast some doubt on the role of the SSM as primary agents responsible for containing the fungus in incompatible interactions of potato and P. infestans.
