The effect of light intensity on Sekiguchi lesion formation and tryptamine accumulation involved in light-induced resistance of rice (cv. Sekiguchi-asahi) inoculated with Magnaporthe grisea was determined by using neutral density filters (ND). When the M. grisea-inoculated leaves were irradiated by ND-filtered lights from daylight fluorescent lamps, there was no difference in number of Sekiguchi lesions among attenuation rates 0, 20, 50, 75 and 90%. However Sekiguchi lesion development and tryptamine accumulation were enhanced with increasing the light intensity. In the dark condition (attenuation rate 100%), however, no Sekiguchi lesion formation and low level accumulation of tryptamine were observed. This result suggested that Sekiguchi lesion development and tryptamine accumulation were owing to photosynthesis activity and light intensity-dependently induced in Sekiguchi lesion mutant infected with M. grisea.
