TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of agricultural planting, and specifically relates to a plant biological stimulant composition for increasing the carotenoid content of fruits and vegetables and a preparation and use method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Carotenoids are a class of important fat-soluble natural pigments, are C40 or C30 terpenoids composed of isoprene skeleton, and are important secondary metabolites in plants. In addition to participating in biological processes such as photosynthesis, photoprotection and plant development, carotenoids can also impart various brilliant colors to flowers and fruits, and participate in the formation of aroma and flavor substances of flowers and fruits. Carotenoids are indispensable for the growth and development of plants, and are also very important for maintaining normal health and behavior of the human body. Some epidemiological studies have shown that eating vegetables and fruits containing carotenoids can provide the human body with precursors for vitamin A synthesis and antioxidants, which can help improve visual impairment, reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as aging, cancer, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration and neurodegenerative disease. Carotenoids are closely related to human health, but the human body cannot synthesize carotenoids itself and needs to rely on diet to obtain them. Therefore, increasing the carotenoid content in fruits and vegetables has become an important topic in modern agricultural research.
[0003] There are mainly two ways to increase the carotenoid content in fruits and vegetables: genetic breeding and cultivation management. Genetic breeding changes the genetic material of crops from the root, aiming to breed new varieties with significantly increased carotenoid content. However, genetic breeding has the disadvantages of long research and development cycle, high research and development cost, poor universality, and great limitations. It relies on available genetic variation within or between closely related species, and if there is a lack of high content genes in existing germplasm resources, it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough, resulting in this type of technology only being implemented in part of the plants, and not having universality for a wide variety of crops. Cultivation management optimizes the external environment and management measures to maximize the physiological potential of carotenoid synthesis without changing the genes of crops, which has the advantages of quick effect, no genetic modification concerns, and easy implementation. However, existing cultivation management techniques mostly focus on a certain link in the carotenoid synthesis pathway, and the limitation of other links in the synthesis pathway may affect the final synthesis of carotenoids, resulting in unstable effects when used in different crops and different application environments, which limits the application of this type of technology in agricultural production. There is no publicly reported technical solution that integrates the entire carotenoid synthesis pathway, is suitable for various fruits and vegetables, and can significantly increase the carotenoid content at low cost. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical problem of the present application is solved by adopting the following technical scheme: The first object of the present application is to provide a plant biological stimulant composition for increasing the carotenoid content of fruits and vegetables, which comprises brassinolide (BR), sodium sulfite (Na2SO3), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), APP-manganese chelate, APP-magnesium chelate and an organic silicon adjuvant.

[0010] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a plant biostimulant composition that increases the carotenoid content of fruits and vegetables, comprising the following steps: S1. Prepare an ammonium polyphosphate aqueous solution and adjust the pH of the solution to 6.0~8.0. Divide the ammonium polyphosphate aqueous solution into two portions, and add Mn dropwise to each portion while stirring. 2+ soluble salt solutions, Mg 2+ The soluble salt solution was heated until a precipitate began to form. After filtration, anhydrous ethanol was added to the solution. After the precipitation was complete, the solution was centrifuged and dried to obtain APP-manganese chelate and APP-magnesium chelate, respectively, for later use. S2. Weigh brassinolide, sodium sulfite, ammonium polyphosphate, APP-manganese chelate, APP-magnesium chelate, and organosilicon additive according to the proportion, pulverize and mix evenly to obtain a plant biostimulant composition.
[0011] Furthermore, the reaction temperature for preparing APP-manganese chelate and APP-magnesium chelate is 5~30℃.
[0012] Furthermore, the degree of polymerization of the ammonium polyphosphate is 2 to 6.
[0013] Furthermore, the pH of the solution is adjusted by adding ammonia.
[0014] Furthermore, the Mn 2+ The soluble salt is selected from any one of manganese sulfate, manganese chloride, and manganese nitrate; the Mg 2+ The soluble salt is selected from any one of magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, and magnesium nitrate.
[0015] Furthermore, a method for preparing a plant biostimulant composition for increasing the carotenoid content of fruits and vegetables includes the following steps: S1, Preparation of chelates Dissolve ammonium polyphosphate in water and stir thoroughly to form an aqueous solution. Adjust the pH of the APP solution to 6.0-8.0 by adding ammonia dropwise. Under magnetic stirring, slowly add Mn to the APP solution. 2+ The soluble salt solution was monitored in situ using a focused beam reflectometer (FBRM) to track the changes in particles in the solution in real time. When insoluble matter was detected, APP and Mn were... 2+ Once the chelation reaction is complete, the addition is stopped; the product is filtered to obtain a clear APP-manganese chelate solution; then excess anhydrous ethanol is added to the solution, and after the chelate has completely precipitated, it is separated by centrifugation and then dried at low temperature to obtain a solid APP-manganese chelate for later use; Using a general method to Mn 2+ The soluble salt solution was replaced with Mg 2+ A soluble salt solution was used to obtain a solid APP-magnesium chelate. S2. Preparation of plant biostimulant composition Weigh brassinolide, sodium sulfite, ammonium polyphosphate, APP-manganese chelate, APP-magnesium chelate, and organosilicon additive according to the specified proportions, pulverize and mix them evenly to obtain a plant biostimulant composition.
[0016] The third objective of this invention is to provide a method for using a plant biostimulant composition that increases the carotenoid content of fruits and vegetables, comprising the following steps: preparing the plant biostimulant composition into an aqueous solution and then applying it to the leaves during the fruit enlargement period and / or color change period.
[0017] Furthermore, the concentration of the aqueous solution of the plant biostimulant composition is 1.63~4.5 g / L.
[0018] Furthermore, the concentration of the aqueous solution of the plant biostimulant composition is 2~4.125 g / L.
[0019] Furthermore, the plant biostimulant composition is applied at a rate of 30-40L per acre, and sprayed 2-3 times.
[0020] Furthermore, there should be an interval of 7 to 10 days between each spraying.
[0021] Furthermore, spraying should be done on cloudy days or on sunny days before 10 a.m. or after 3 p.m.
[0022] Furthermore, the plant biostimulant composition can be used to increase the carotenoid content of leafy, root, fruit, and legume plants.
[0023] This invention increases brassinolide (BR), activates the entire carotenoid synthesis pathway, upregulates the gene expression of multiple key enzymes in the carotenoid synthesis pathway through signal transduction, catalyzes the rate-limiting first step of carotenoid synthesis, induces the expression of sucrose transport protein (SUC / SUT), and promotes the transport of sugar to the fruit.
[0024] Increasing sodium sulfite (Na2SO3) inhibits photorespiration, reduces the loss of photosynthetic products, increases the supply of carbon skeleton, promotes the upregulation of key enzyme genes such as PSY (phytoene synthase), promotes the flow of more GGPP (geraniyl pyrophosphate) to carotenoid synthesis, and through the effect of antioxidant stress, mild oxidative stress upregulates the antioxidant system (such as SOD) and promotes the accumulation of carotenoids (natural antioxidants).
[0025] Adding ammonium polyphosphate (APP) provides phosphorus in a long-lasting, slow-release manner. Phosphorus is a component of energy carriers such as ATP and NADPH, participates in photosynthesis (Calvin cycle) and sugar metabolism, and provides the phosphorus skeleton for carotenoid synthesis, indirectly but crucially promoting carotenoid synthesis.
[0026] The addition of APP-manganese chelate is necessary because the activity of GGPP synthase in the carotenoid synthesis process requires Mn. 2+ Yes. Carotenoids are derived from glucose, the initial product of photosynthesis, through the isoprene biosynthesis pathway in plants. Mn 2+ The presence or absence of Mn is a key factor determining whether it is metabolized as a carotenoid or as other isoprene products, increasing Mn 2+ It can significantly increase the content of carotenoids.
[0027] Adding APP-magnesium chelate is beneficial because magnesium is the central atom in chlorophyll molecules and participates in photophosphorylation and carboxylation reactions in chloroplasts, playing a crucial role in chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthesis. Supplementing with Mg is also recommended. 2+ It can promote chlorophyll synthesis, increase chlorophyll content, and improve photosynthetic efficiency. Efficient photosynthesis can provide energy, abundant carbon skeletons, and precursor substances for the synthesis of carotenoids.
[0028] Adding organosilicon adjuvants can significantly enhance the adhesion, penetration, and diffusion of plant biostimulant compositions on leaf surfaces when applied as foliar sprays, thereby improving absorption efficiency.
[0029] The plant biostimulant composition is stored and transported in powder form, which can effectively reduce transportation costs and reduce the decrease in the mass concentration of trace elements in the chelated state caused by the hydrolysis and decomposition of ammonium polyphosphate chelates.
[0030] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: This invention's plant biostimulant composition combines hormone synergy with nutrient fortification. Applied via foliar spraying, it first activates the entire carotenoid synthesis pathway, influencing the flow of carbon and phosphorus sources in the pigment synthesis pathway towards carotenoid synthesis. Furthermore, by supplementing with ammonium polyphosphate and ammonium polyphosphate-micronutrient chelates, it enhances photosynthesis, increases the supply of carbon and phosphorus skeletons for carotenoid synthesis precursors, and increases the supply of key micronutrients that promote the synthesis of rate-limiting enzymes in carotenoids. This facilitates the metabolic transformation of intermediate products in the plant isoprene biosynthesis pathway towards carotenoids, thereby effectively promoting the synthesis and accumulation of carotenoids and increasing the carotenoid content in fruits and vegetables.
[0031] The plant biostimulant composition of the present invention can stimulate fruits and vegetables to increase the synthesis and storage of carotenoids, increase the content of carotenoids in fruits and vegetables, and at the same time increase the accumulation of flavor substances.
[0032] The plant biostimulant composition of this invention has the characteristics of small dosage and high activity. After spraying, it can significantly improve the quality of fruits and vegetables, and achieve the goal of improving the economic benefits of farmland with low input cost.
[0033] The plant biostimulant composition of this invention uses inexpensive and readily available raw materials, while yielding high output, thus improving the economic benefits of farmland with low input costs.
[0034] The plant biostimulant composition of the present invention can be stored and transported at room temperature, is simple to operate, and is easy to use and promote.
