Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fungi and mycotoxin prevention and control in agriculture, and particularly relates to an inhibitor containing resveratrol for fusarium producing deoxynivalenol (DON). BACKGROUND

[0002] Fusarium graminearum is the main pathogenic fungus causing wheat scab, which has caused serious threat to the yield and quality of wheat. Fusarium graminearum can produce mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol after contaminating wheat and other cereals, thereby causing serious food safety and feed safety problems. Eating food contaminated by mycotoxins can cause acute and chronic poisoning in animals and humans, among which DON can cause vomiting and diarrhea in animals, induce gastrointestinal inflammation, inhibit the synthesis of proteins and nucleic acids, and induce cell apoptosis. At present, the methods for detoxifying mycotoxin-contaminated cereals and feed raw materials mainly include physical adsorption such as montmorillonite and microbial / enzyme degradation, but the actual application effect is poor, including incomplete adsorption, adsorption of nutrients, and low efficiency of microbial in vitro degradation.

[0003] The present application mainly aims at the problem of poor effect of existing mycotoxin prevention and control technology, takes the main toxin-producing fungus fusarium graminearum as the research object, and takes inhibiting fusarium producing DON as the main research idea, screens natural active substances that can significantly inhibit the growth and toxin production of fusarium from common Chinese herbal medicine natural products, and provides a technical approach for fusarium graminearum and its main mycotoxin prevention and control. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application is realized by the following technical scheme:

[0007] The present application screens a variety of natural products such as resveratrol and lycium barbarum polysaccharide, and finds that resveratrol has the best performance in inhibiting the growth and toxin production of fusarium graminearum.

[0008] Specifically, resveratrol can significantly inhibit the mycelial growth of fusarium graminearum at a concentration of 80-320 μg / ml, and the growth inhibition rate of fusarium graminearum is about 50% and the DON production is reduced by about half under the treatment of 320 μg / mL resveratrol.

[0009] More specifically, resveratrol can significantly destroy the cell membrane integrity of fusarium graminearum, cause cell death, and significantly inhibit the expression of key genes Tri6 and Tri10 for producing DON. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0045] 2. Experimental Results

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, compared with the control group ( Figure 3 Compared to group A, the resveratrol treatment group ( Figure 3 (BD) exhibits good killing effects on Fusarium graminearum mycelium, and with increasing resveratrol concentration, cell membrane damage worsens, and the number of dead cells increases. Note: Figure 3 The BD values ​​were 80, 160, and 320 μg / mL of resveratrol, respectively.
