[0036] (3) Collect the drug solution by filtering with a funnel and filter paper, combine the two drug solutions, and dilute to the required concentrations of 4, 8 and 12 mg / mL.
[0037] The method of inoculating tomato stem base rot in this embodiment is as follows:
[0038] (1) At the three-leaf one-heart stage of tomato, use a sterilized cotton swab to pick up the S. lycopersicola bacteria solution and scratch the stem base;
[0039] (2) Use a puncher to punch the PDA medium with S. lycopersicola;
[0040] (3) Place the mycelium block opposite the scratch position, and use sterilized cotton to wrap the inoculated position with the S. lycopersicola bacteria solution;
[0041] (4) Cover a transparent cover on the tray, spray water on the cover to provide humid conditions for disease, and place it in a weak light place for culture.
[0042] The use method of the Chinese herbal medicine preparation in this embodiment is as follows:
[0043] After the tomato plants are diseased, the tomato seedlings are treated by root irrigation, once every three days, for a total of three times.
[0044] Among them, the acting crop is tomato, and the acting position is the stem base.
[0045] Test example: The tested tomato variety is “Heinz 1706”.
[0046] Test grouping: The test material of this study is the tomato cultivar “Heinz 1706”. The seeds are first washed with 75% anhydrous ethanol on a clean bench for 1 minute, then soaked with 25% sodium hypochlorite, shaken at 28°C for 20 minutes, and then washed with sterile water for 10 times. After the seed coat is slightly whitened, it is sown in MS medium;
[0047] After 3 days of dark culture in a 28°C incubator, it is transferred to light culture. After the first true leaf of the tomato seedling grows, it is transplanted into a mixed substrate of vermiculite, perlite and soil in a ratio of 1:1:2, and watered thoroughly. It is grown under the conditions of a light cycle of 16 hours (light) and 8 hours (dark), a day and night temperature cycle of 25°C / 20°C, a light intensity of 150 μmol·m -2 ·s -1 and a relative humidity of 50%;
[0048] After the stem base is diseased, the cotton is removed, and the stem base is treated with 0, 4, 8, and 12 mg / mL concentrations of Chinese herbal medicine preparation by root irrigation. Sterile water indicates that the plant is not infected with stem base rot bacteria and is treated with sterile water. Each tomato seedling is irrigated with 30 ml of Chinese herbal medicine preparation, and the treatment is performed once every 3 days for a total of 3 times.
[0049] Test method: complete randomized block design, 6 biological replicates are set.
[0050] Experimental results:
[0051] Refer to the Figure 1 The disease spot area of the tomato treated with different concentrations of the preparation of Cortex Phellodendri showed significant differences at the statistical level, and the trend of first decreasing and then increasing was observed with the increase of the treatment concentration. The inhibition effect on the disease spot area was the most obvious at the treatment concentration of 8 mg / mL. The plant height of the tomato treated with 8 mg / mL was increased by 40.44% and the stem diameter was increased by 11.27% compared with the control group;
[0052] Refer to the Figure 2 The root length, root surface area, root volume, root average diameter and root tip number of the tomato treated with different concentrations of the preparation of Cortex Phellodendri were significantly increased, and the trend of first increasing and then decreasing was observed with the increase of the treatment concentration, and the peak value was observed at the treatment concentration of 8 mg / mL;
[0053] Refer to the Figure 3 Compared with the control group, only the aboveground and underground dry weights were significantly increased at the treatment concentration of 8 mg / mL, and the promotion effect of the rest treatments was not significant. There was no significant difference in the fresh root crown ratio among the treatments, but the dry root crown ratio of the treatment at 8 mg / mL was significantly increased by 22.60% compared with the treatment at 0 mg / mL. The fresh root crown ratio was the largest at the treatment concentration of 4 mg / mL, which was significantly increased by 12.89% compared with the treatment at 0 mg / mL;
[0054] Refer to the Figure 4 The stomatal conductance and transpiration rate of the tomato treated with 8 mg / mL were also significantly increased, which were increased by 67.95% and 39.50% compared with the treatment at 0 mg / mL, respectively, and the intercellular carbon dioxide concentration was decreased by 13.55% at the treatment of 8 mg / mL. The ΦPSII (the actual photochemical efficiency of photosystem II) and Fv / Fm (the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosystem II) were significantly increased at the treatment concentrations of 4 mg / mL and 8 mg / mL compared with the two control groups, and the change was not significant at the treatment concentration of 12 mg / mL;
[0055] Refer to the Figure 5 The contents of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b were 0.4458 mg / g and 0.1270 mg / g at the treatment concentration of 4 mg / mL, which were increased by 44.18% and 37.74% compared with the treatment at 0 mg / mL, respectively. There was no significant difference in the content of carotenoid, but the maximum value was reached at the treatment concentration of 4 mg / mL, which was increased by 14.43% compared with the treatment at 0 mg / mL;
[0056] Refer to the Figure 6Compared with the non-disease group, the antioxidant enzyme activity of the disease tomato leaves treated by the cortex phellodendri preparation was significantly higher than that of the non-treated group after the disease. The SOD (superoxide dismutase activity), POD (peroxidase activity), and CAT (catalase activity) activities of the tomato leaves after the disease showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing under different concentrations of treatment, and reached the maximum at 8 mg / mL. The MDA (malondialdehyde content) content of the tomato leaves after the disease was significantly higher than that of the non-disease control group, and showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing among different concentrations of treatment, and was the lowest at the 8 mg / mL treatment concentration, which was 67% lower than that of the 0 mg / mL treatment.
