Abstract: The article mainly studied two enzymes related to Salicylic acid(SA) signaling pathway:phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL)and β-1,3-glucanase(β-1,3-GA)in marine algae Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis,and measured their activity change under sick,high salt,high temperature stresses and addition of SA. Results showed that the activities of PAL and β-1,3-GA in G. lemaneiformis of 3 sick groups increased 1.27-1.42 times and 1.26-1.35 times compared to healthy groups,respectively. For high salt stress,the activities of PAL had no significant difference from the control,whereas β-1,3-GA increased 1.90 times and 1.42 times at 24 h and 48 h compared to the control,respectively. The activities of PAL and β-1,3-GA under high temperature stress increased 1.25 times and 1.27 times compared to the control groups. The activities of PAL and β-1,3-GA increased after adding 100 μmol/L SA,but high concentration of SA inhibited the activities of 2 enzymes. This study indicated that the increases of activities of PAL and β-1,3-GA in G. lemaneiformis might be associated with the SA resistance to environment. In addition,100 μmol/L SA had the most significant effect on the induction of PAL and β-1,3-GA activities.

Key words: Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis, salicylic acid, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, β-1, 3-glucanase
