The hypersensitive response (HR) triggered on Nicotiana
edwardsonii by tobacco mosaic virus was studied using a
modified viral genome that directed expression of the green fluorescent
protein. Inoculated plants were initially incubated at 32°C to
inhibit the N gene-mediated HR. Transfer to 20°C
initiated the HR, and fluorescent infection foci were monitored for
early HR-associated events. Membrane damage, which preceded visible
cell collapse by more than 3 h, was accompanied by a transient
restriction of the xylem within infection sites. Following cell
collapse and the rapid desiccation of tissue undergoing the HR,
isolated, infected cells were detected at the margin of necrotic
lesions. These virus-infected cells were able to reinitiate infection
on transfer to 32°C, however, if maintained at 20°C they eventually
died. The results indicate that the tobacco mosaic virus-induced HR is
a two-phase process with an early stage culminating in rapid cell
collapse and tissue desiccation followed by a more extended period
during which the remaining infected cells are eliminated.
