Anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of many plants, including stylo (Stylosanthesspp.), which is an important tropical forage legume. AlthoughC. gloeosporioides-caused anthracnose is the major constraint limiting the growth and yield of stylo, little information is available regarding the responses of stylo during the infection process of this pathogen. This study investigated the changes in growth, the antioxidant system and gene expression in stylo in response toC. gloeosporioidestreatment. Negative effects ofC. gloeosporioideswere observed in inoculated stylo plants, as reflected by the formation of necrotic disease lesions and the decrease in shoot fresh weight. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation increased in stylo leaves during theC.gloeosporioidesinfection process. The activities of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and glutathione reductase (GR), as well as the concentrations of the antioxidant compounds ascorbate (AsA) and glutathione (GSH), increased in leaves underC. gloeosporioidestreatment. Furthermore, transcriptional analysis showed that the expression of stress response genes, including NADPH oxidase (Nox), thioredoxin (Thi),pathogenesis related genes(PR1andPR5), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), chalcone synthase (CHS) and chitinase (Cht), was differentially enhanced in stylo leaves byC. gloeosporioides. Taken together, this study provides novel information regarding the alterations during the infection process ofC. gloeosporioidesin stylo at the levels of antioxidant system and gene expression.
