Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microbial growth promotion, and more specifically, relates to a method for promoting the growth of Fusicladium effusum, the pathogen of pecan scab disease. Background Art
[0002] Pecan (Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch), with the commercial name "pecan", is a deciduous tree belonging to the genus Carya in the Juglandaceae family, and is native to the United States and northern Mexico. The kernels of pecan contain rich nutritional components such as vegetable oils, and it is an important woody oil tree species. China began to introduce and cultivate this tree species in the 19th century, and it has currently been promoted and planted in 14 provinces and cities such as Anhui, Yunnan, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.
[0003] With the expansion of the pecan planting area and the increase in tree age, disease problems have become increasingly prominent, directly affecting the fruit yield. Among them, scab disease has always been the most serious yield-limiting disease in the southeastern United States. However, in the past two years, scab disease has occurred generally and severely in Jiangsu and Anhui regions of China, and about 80 - 90% of orchards are affected by scab disease. This disease can cause the fruits to be empty, shriveled, smaller in size, lower in plumpness, and poorer in quality, and in severe cases, almost result in a complete harvest failure. Therefore, scab disease has severely restricted the healthy development of the pecan industry in China.
[0004] Disease control is inseparable from the research on pathogens. After identification, the pathogen of pecan scab disease is Fusicladium effusum. It has been found that Fusicladium effusum grows slowly under various artificial culture media, which greatly limits the research progress of phytopathologists on this disease. Currently, foreign research on pecan scab disease mainly focuses on disease control and comparison of the characteristics of resistant and susceptible varieties, and there is little research on scab pathogens. The reason is related to the great difficulty in artificially culturing scab pathogens. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Aiming at the above problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for promoting the growth of Fusicladium effusum, the pathogen of pecan scab disease, for screening out an optimal culture medium that can improve the growth rate of Fusicladium effusum, the pathogen of pecan scab disease.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] A method for promoting the growth of Fusicladium effusum, the pathogen of pecan scab disease, is as follows: inoculating a Fusicladium effusum fungal cake into a culture medium supplemented with pecan fruit green peel juice for cultivation.
[0008] The culture medium is one or more of PDA medium, wheat bran medium, oat medium, Czapek medium, V8 medium, CM medium and MEA medium.
[0009] The culture medium is PDA medium.
[0010] The pH of the culture medium is 5 - 10.
[0011] The pH of the culture medium is 6.
[0012] The temperature for culturing is 10 - 35°C.
[0013] The temperature for culturing is 25°C.
[0014] The added concentration of pecan fruit green peel juice is: adding 0.2% - 2.5% of pecan fruit green peel juice to every 20 mL of the culture medium.
[0015] The added concentration of pecan fruit green peel juice is: adding 0.4% of pecan fruit green peel juice to every 20 mL of the culture medium.
[0016] A culture medium for promoting the growth of Fusicladium effusum, the formula is: PDA medium with pH = 6 + 0.4% pecan fruit green peel juice.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0018] 1) The present invention screened the growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum in different culture media. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum could grow on PDA, wheat bran, OMA, Czapek, V8, CM and MEA media, but grew fastest on PDA medium.
[0019] 2) The present invention screened the growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum at different pH values. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum could grow on PDA medium with pH 5 - 10, and grew fastest on PDA medium with pH = 6.
[0020] 3) The present invention screened the growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum at different temperatures. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum could grow at 10 - 35°C, and grew fastest at 25°C.
[0021] 4) The present invention screened the growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum in different carbon sources. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum could grow in the culture medium added with glucose, mannitol, glycerol, sorbitol and β - lactose, but the most suitable carbon source for the growth of Fusicladium effusum hyphae is glucose.
[0022] 5) The growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum in different nitrogen sources were screened in the present invention. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum could grow in the culture media supplemented with sodium nitrate, peptone, and potassium nitrate, and the most suitable nitrogen source for the growth of Fusicladium effusum hyphae was sodium nitrate.
[0023] 6) The growth conditions of Fusicladium effusum in different addition amounts of Carya illinoinensis pericarp juice were screened in the present invention. The results showed that the hyphae of Fusicladium effusum grew well on the PDA medium (pH = 6) supplemented with 0.2 - 2.5% of Carya illinoinensis pericarp juice per 20 mL. Among them, the growth was the fastest on the PDA medium supplemented with 0.4% of Carya illinoinensis pericarp juice, and the average diameter of the colony was 4.95 cm. Description of the Drawings
