Abstract
Downy mildew disease caused by Plasmopara halstedii is emerging as one of the major diseases of sunflower in the Indian sub-continent. The yield loss due to this pathogenic fungus is accounting for more than 50% in the susceptible sunflower genotypes. The results of the present study clearly indicated that downy mildew causes extensive cellular changes, leading to hypertrophism and leakage of the cellular contents. A reduction in the total soluble protein was recorded in the infected leaves with no reduction in the percent of heat-stable proteins. Further, characterization of the PR proteins in the downy mildew infected leaves resulted in the isolation of two 100 kD proteins which appear to be specific to downy mildew infection.
