Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of microorganisms, and relates to an application of a resource for preventing and treating cigar tobacco bacterial wilt, in particular to an application of coumarin for preventing and treating cigar tobacco bacterial wilt. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cigar tobacco is a characteristic product with high economic value in the tobacco industry, and its quality formation is closely related to disease prevention and control in the planting process. In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the global cigar tobacco planting scale, soil-borne diseases have become the core bottleneck restricting the high-quality development of the industry, among which the bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum is the most prominent, causing serious economic losses to growers.

[0003] Cigar tobacco bacterial wilt belongs to a typical bacterial soil-borne disease. The pathogen has the characteristics of wide host range and strong survival ability, and can infect more than 200 plant species in more than 30 families of Solanaceae and Leguminosae. It can survive in soil for a long time and has hidden transmission routes, and is difficult to completely eliminate once it occurs. In the main cigar tobacco producing areas of the tropics and subtropics, bacterial wilt occurs commonly, often mixed with root and stem diseases such as black tuber disease, causing wilting of plants, browning of vascular bundles, and eventually death of the whole plant. The disease incidence of serious plots can be more than 80%, and even absolute yield loss can occur. In recent years, with the warming of climate and the change of planting mode, the disease has shown a trend of spreading to temperate tobacco growing areas, and the prevention and control situation is becoming more and more severe.

[0004] At present, the prevention and control measures for cigar tobacco bacterial wilt are still mainly traditional measures, including chemical pesticide spraying, soil fumigation, and crop rotation, etc., but all have significant limitations. Chemical pesticides such as zinc thiazole and quinoline copper have a quick effect in the short term, but have poor targeting, killing pathogenic bacteria while destroying soil microbial community structure, leading to soil micro-ecological disorder and creating favorable conditions for secondary infection of pathogenic bacteria. Long-term use can also make Ralstonia solanacearum develop strong drug resistance, leading to a decrease in prevention and control effect year by year, and pesticide residues directly affect the aroma quality and safety indicators of cigar tobacco. Soil fumigation technology is difficult to popularize in large-scale planting due to high cost and environmental pollution; and crop rotation is difficult to implement in main producing areas due to land resource constraints, and cannot fundamentally solve the disease problem.

[0005] Based on the development needs of "green agriculture" and "reduction of pesticides", the development of biological control technology with high efficiency, safety and environmental friendliness has become a current research hotspot. Coumarin, also known as 1,2-benzopyrone and o-naphtholone, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H6O2. Coumarin is an important spice, commonly used as a fixative, deodorant, and prepared as a perfume and spice. It is also used as a flavoring agent for beverages, food, cigarettes, plastic products, rubber products, etc. Although studies have shown that coumarin compounds have certain antibacterial activity, they can reduce the virulence of some pathogenic bacteria by interfering with the formation of bacterial biofilm and inhibiting the synthesis of signaling molecules. For example, coumarin-chalcone conjugates can effectively inhibit the proliferation and invasion of common pathogenic bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. However, the antibacterial activity of substances has strong specificity. As a special group of highly invasive gram-negative bacteria, Ralstonia solanacearum has a unique lipopolysaccharide component in its cell structure and secreted type III secretion system effector proteins, making it naturally resistant to most antibacterial substances. The antibacterial objects of coumarin reported in existing reports are mainly gram-positive bacteria or ordinary saprophytic bacteria, and do not involve this type of highly pathogenic soil-borne pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, it cannot be predicted that coumarin can inhibit Ralstonia solanacearum and be used to prevent and control tobacco brown rot based on the reported activity of coumarin.

[0006] Although there have been many reports on the application of coumarin in plant protection, its specific application in the prevention and control of tobacco brown rot has not been reported in public literature or patents. The existing technology lacks a specific scheme for applying coumarin to the prevention and control of tobacco brown rot, and does not clearly define the inhibitory effect of coumarin on Ralstonia solanacearum and its mechanism of action. SUMMARY

[0034] Cigar tobacco seedling raising: Cigar tobacco seeds were soaked in 1‰ silver nitrate (AgNO3) for 12 min and rinsed with sterile water for 5 times. The disinfected cigar tobacco seeds were sowed in a seedling tray and covered with film for seedling raising.

[0035] Cigar tobacco transplanting: After seedling raising for 4-5 true leaves, the cigar tobacco seedlings with consistent growth were transplanted into 9 cm diameter seedling pots, the temperature was controlled at 25-28℃, the humidity was controlled at 55-65% RH (Relative Humidity), and the potting position was randomly changed every two days.

[0036] After 10 days of transplanting, coumarin was applied by foliar spraying, 15 mL per plant. Seven concentrations were set: 1) 2 mg / L coumarin solution; 2) 5 mg / L coumarin solution; 3) 10 mg / L coumarin solution; 4) 20 mg / L coumarin solution; 5) 40 mg / L coumarin solution; 6) 80 mg / L coumarin solution; 7) control group, 15 mL of 0.2% DMSO per plant. Each treatment was set with 3 replicates, and each replicate had 10 cigar seedlings. After one week of transplanting, coumarin was applied by foliar spraying; after two weeks of transplanting, the prepared bacterial suspension was prepared into an OD600nm = 0.005 (about 2x107 cfu / mL) bacterial suspension, and 10 mL of bacterial suspension was inoculated per plant. After inoculation, the tobacco seedlings were cultured in an intelligent artificial climate chamber at a temperature of 30±2℃, a relative humidity of 100%, and a 12 h dark / 12 h light cycle. The indoor disease incidence of tobacco bacterial wilt was divided into five grades: 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, wherein grade 0 was healthy seedlings; grade 1 was seedlings with mild wilting and wilting degree not exceeding 25%; grade 2 was seedlings with wilting degree exceeding 25% but not exceeding 50%; grade 3 was seedlings with wilting degree exceeding 50% but not exceeding 75%; and grade 4 was seedlings with wilting degree exceeding 75%. The disease incidence was observed and recorded, and the disease incidence rate, disease index, and relative control effect were calculated every 3-4 days. The calculation formula of the relative control effect is as follows:

[0037] The test results are shown in Tables 1, 2, 3, and Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Compared with the control, foliar spraying of coumarin can reduce the incidence of tobacco bacterial wilt and disease index and improve the relative control effect. At 16 d after inoculation, foliar spraying of 10 mg / L coumarin has the best control effect on bacterial wilt, and there is a significant difference in control effect compared with the control group.
