Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biological control, and in particular relates to the technical field of controlling crop stem base rot. Background Art

[0002] Crop stem rot is a typical soil-borne complex pathogenic disease, with multiple pathogenic fungi as the main pathogens, showing a high degree of complexity. The infection cycle of this disease is long, and the pathogen residues in the soil continue to accumulate, which in turn exacerbates the epidemic trend of stem rot.

[0003] Corn stalk rot is caused by a variety of pathogens acting alone or in concert, and can be divided into two categories: bacterial stalk rot and fungal stalk rot. The main pathogen of bacterial stalk rot is Erwinia chrysanthemi, while the pathogens of fungal stalk rot mainly include Fusarium and Pythium. Generally, the incidence of corn stalk rot in the field is about 15%, which can cause a 25% loss in corn yield. When the disease is severe, the yield reduction rate can be as high as 80% or more, especially in years with more rainfall, when the disease is more serious.

[0004] At present, the prevention and control strategies for stem rot of crops mainly include chemical control, biological control and breeding of resistant varieties. However, the existing crop varieties on the market have significant differences in resistance to stem rot, and there is a lack of highly resistant wheat and corn varieties. Although the use of chemical agents can control the disease to a certain extent, it may have adverse effects on the ecological environment and food safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore and apply safer and more efficient biological control measures. Summary of the invention

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Isolation, screening and identification of pathogens causing stem rot in crops

[0035] (1) Isolation and cultivation of pathogens of crop stem rot

[0036] Maize plants showing typical symptoms of stem base rot were collected from maize fields in Changtu County, Liaoning Province, and samples were collected from the stem base and infected leaves of the diseased plants using sterilized scissors. Cut diseased maize leaves or stalks of a certain size, rinse with tap water, and cut from the healthy tissue 1 to 2 mm around the lesion. Then, after the small beaker is disinfected, the separation material is placed in it and disinfected. After disinfection, rinse with sterile water 2 to 3 times. Cut the separation material into 2 to 3 mm cubes, and each piece of tissue should be alternating diseased and healthy tissue. Use sterilized tweezers to pick up the cut material, place it on a PDA culture medium plate, and press gently. Incubate at a constant temperature of 28°C, and observe after hyphae grow in the PDA culture medium (such as Figure 1 The final concentration of the solution was 25% glycerol and stored in a -80°C refrigerator.

[0037] (2) Identification of pathogenic microorganisms

[0038] Observe the morphology of the colonies in the culture dish, including color, texture, and growth rate. Extract the DNA of the growing strain, amplify the ITS region using PCR technology, and perform sequencing analysis to confirm the specific type of pathogen. The isolated pathogens are shown in Table 1:

[0039] Table 1. Main pathogens of corn stalk rot isolated

[0040]

[0041] (3) Verification of pathogenicity of corn stalk rot pathogen

[0042] Take out the above-mentioned Fusarium graminearum, the pathogenic bacteria of corn stalk rot, from the -80℃ refrigerator, first reactivate the purified and preserved strain for subculture, and culture it in the dark at 25℃ in an incubator for 7 days, then use a toothpick to pierce the stem base of healthy corn seedlings of 3 months old and 20-30 cm in height, with 4 puncture points for each plant, 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom, use the base of a 1ml pipette tip to take a 6mm diameter bacterial cake, move it to the wound site with a clean toothpick, wrap it with moist cotton, and finally wrap it with sticky plastic wrap to keep it moist. Plants inoculated with clean PDA round cakes were used as controls, and the moisturizing method was the same as that of the treatment group. Observe after 7-14 days, and record the disease conditions in the treatment and control groups. Figure 2 As shown, the leaves of the plants inoculated with corn stem rot wilt and droop, turn green, and the stem bases show spots, browning, and signs of rot compared to the healthy control group, indicating that the isolated corn pathogenic microorganisms are pathogenic.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] Isolation and identification of microorganisms for effective prevention and control of the main pathogens of stem rot

[0045] (1) Isolation and preservation of biocontrol strains

[0046] Strain isolation method: The collector collected soil samples in Changtu County, Liaoning Province on August 9, 2022, weighed 5 g of soil samples, put them into 100 mL of sterile water, shook them on a shaker for 30 min, and gradiently diluted them to 10 -4 , 10 -5 , 100 μL of the dilution was respectively applied to the LB plate, incubated at 28°C, colonies of different morphology and color were picked for streak purification, and finally stored in a glycerol solution with a final concentration of 25%, stored in a -80°C refrigerator, and named strain Gc8.

[0047] (2) Biocontrol strains Gc8 and Ak67 can effectively inhibit Fusarium graminearum

[0048] The biocontrol microbial strains Aa2, Ak67, Gc8, Gf81, Ga31, Fk12, Fk15, 4.7800, 4.7808 and NMB4 were taken out from the -80°C refrigerator, streaked on LB solid culture medium, single colonies were picked and inoculated into LB liquid culture medium, and cultured in a shaking incubator at 28°C for 2 days to obtain biocontrol bacteria solution.

[0049] Take out the corn stalk rot pathogen Fusarium graminearum stored in the -80℃ refrigerator and apply it to the PDA plate, and culture it at 28℃ for 2 days. Scrape an appropriate amount of colonies into a sterile centrifuge tube, fully suspend them with sterile water, and adjust the OD600 to 1.0. Take 10μL and inoculate it in the center of the PDA plate, and inoculate 5μL of the biocontrol bacteria solution at a position about 1cm around it. Use the plate without biocontrol bacteria as the control, and observe the results after culturing at 28℃ for 2 days.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, on the control plate, Fusarium graminearum was white mycelium, and the mycelial growth of Fusarium graminearum was significantly inhibited in the colonies treated with biocontrol bacteria strains 4.7800, 4.7808, Gc8 and Ak67, with sparse mycelial growth and lightened color, indicating that these biocontrol bacteria have the effect of inhibiting the growth of Fusarium graminearum.

[0051] Example 3

[0052] Preparation of single microbial agents and composite microbial agents

[0053] Take out the stored strains Gc8, Ak67 and pf27 from the -80℃ refrigerator, streak them on LB solid medium and invert them at 28℃ for 24h, pick a single colony and inoculate it in LB liquid medium, and shake and culture it at 28℃ for 1 day as seed liquid. At a ratio of 5%, inoculate Gc8 in Landy modified medium, inoculate Ak67 in Gao's medium No. 1, and inoculate pf27 in LB medium. Cultivate at 28℃, 200rpm / min for 4 days to obtain single bacterial agents of Gc8, Ak67 and pf27, and the number of viable bacteria is 1×10 9 ~1×10 10 CFU / mL.

[0054] The single bacterial agents of Gc8, Ak67 and pf27 are mixed in equal volumes to obtain the composite bacterial agent. The genome information sequence of strain pf27 is recorded in the patent document with the authorized patent number ZL201710480486.7. The 16SrDNA information of the genome of strain Ak67 is SEQ ID NO.1, and the 16SrDNA information of the genome of strain Gc8 is SEQ ID NO.2.

[0056] Effect of compound microbial agent on the control of corn stalk rot

[0057] This example uses the composite microbial agent prepared in Example 3 to verify its effect on promoting corn growth and preventing corn stalk rot in laboratory and field environment tests. The specific steps are as follows:

[0058] The laboratory experiment was conducted at the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. Four treatments were set up: composite microbial agent, Ak67, Gc8 and water control. The composite microbial agent in Example 3 was diluted 50 times to obtain the composite microbial agent used in the laboratory experiment. Figure 4 As shown, the plant height of corn treated with the composite bacterial agent in the laboratory environment was significantly higher than that of other controls and the treatment group treated with a single bacterial agent alone, indicating that the composite bacterial agent of the present invention has a significant growth-promoting effect on corn growth.

[0059] The field test was conducted in a corn field in Changtu County, Tieling City, Liaoning Province. Two treatments were set up: a composite microbial agent and a clean water control. The composite microbial agent in Example 3 was diluted 50 times to obtain the composite microbial agent used for the field test. Before sowing, the corn seeds were soaked with the composite microbial agent, and watering and fertilization were consistent with normal field management measures. The incidence of corn basal rot was counted for corn during the growing period, and 3 groups were counted for each treatment group, with 100 plants in each group.

[0060] Incidence rate = susceptible plants / total number of plants × 100% ± standard error, biological control effect = (control incidence rate - treatment incidence rate) / control incidence rate × 100%. The statistics of corn stalk rot incidence in each treatment are shown in Table 2.

[0061] Table 2. Incidence of corn stalk rot in the field after treatment with composite microbial agent

[0062]

[0063] Note: Value = mean ± standard error, different lowercase letters indicate significant difference (P<0.05).

[0064] From the results in Table 2, it can be seen that the composite bacterial agent of the present invention can significantly and effectively prevent and treat corn stalk rot, reducing the incidence of corn stalk rot by 53.9%. Figure 5 As shown, the composite bacterial agent treatment group demonstrated that the composite bacterial agent had a good biocontrol effect when applied in the field.

[0065] Although the above embodiment describes the present invention in detail, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. People can also obtain other embodiments based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
