[0110] Taking apple anthrax, apple stigma, rice blast, cabbage black spot and corn curvature as examples, the specific operation is as follows:

[0111] Preparation of PDA culture medium: Select potatoes, wash and peel them, accurately weigh 200g, and cut them into small pieces. Then, place the cut potato pieces in a container and add 2000mL of ultrapure water. Heat the mixture until it boils. After boiling, reduce the heat to a low simmer and maintain it at a slight boil for 30 minutes. After heating, filter it while it is still hot through three layers of gauze. Collect the filtrate. If the volume of the filtrate is less than 1000mL, adjust the volume to 1000mL with ultrapure water. To the 1000mL filtrate obtained, add 20g of glucose and 15g of agar in sequence. After addition, stir thoroughly with a glass rod to evenly disperse the glucose and agar in the filtrate. Quickly divide the mixed liquid into Erlenmeyer flasks according to the volume required for the experiment. Seal the Erlenmeyer flasks containing the culture medium with sterile breathable sealing film. After sealing, place the conical flask in an autoclave and sterilize at 0.11 MPa and 120°C for 30 minutes. After sterilization, the culture medium is ready for subsequent use.

[0112] Activate the test bacteria: Remove the sealed test tube containing the bacterial strain from the refrigerator at approximately 4°C. Under sterile conditions, inoculate the pathogenic fungus onto a pre-sterilized, solidified PDA medium plate using the streak method. Place the inoculated plate in an artificial climate chamber and incubate at 25°C and 65% humidity for 3-5 days. Regularly observe the size of the colonies on the plate. When the colonies have grown to 2 / 3 of the plate area, the activated strain is ready for use in subsequent experiments.

[0113] Initial screening for antifungal activity: Accurately weigh the test drug (30 μmol) using a 1 / 10,000th balance and place it in a small sample vial. Add 0.5 mL of DMSO to the vial to completely dissolve the test drug. Once dissolved, add 9.5 mL of sterile water for dilution. Under the sterile conditions of a clean bench, pour the solution into 190 mL of autoclaved PDA culture medium at approximately 50°C. After pouring, shake thoroughly to ensure uniform mixing of the drug and culture medium. While still hot, pour the medium containing the drug solution into culture dishes, adding approximately 18 mL to each dish. The final concentration of the drug solution in the dish is 150 μM, and the DMSO concentration is 0.25% (v / v). Experiments have confirmed that 0.25% DMSO in the culture medium has no significant effect on fungal growth. The culture medium containing 0.25% DMSO serves as a blank control. After the culture medium plate is completely solidified, use a pre-sterilized puncher (diameter d = 5 mm) to punch holes on the activated bacterial colony to obtain a bacterial cake. Use an inoculation needle to carefully inoculate the bacterial cake (d = 5 mm) in the center of the culture medium plate, making sure that the side containing mycelium is facing down and tightly attached to the culture medium. Mark the inoculated plate and place it in an incubator for incubation at a temperature of 25°C and a humidity of 65%. Set up three parallel samples for each experiment. After 72 hours of incubation, the diameter of the colony is measured using the cross-cross method (unit: mm). Then, calculate the inhibition rate of mycelial growth according to the following formula.

[0115] Test results: The inhibition rates of the test compounds at a concentration of 150 μM against five plant pathogenic fungi, namely, apple anthracnose, apple striata, rice blast, cabbage black spot and corn curvature, are shown in Table 2:

[0117]

[0118] Antifungal potency assay: The present invention uses the half-dilution method to prepare the liquid. The specific operation is as follows: weigh 60 μmol of the test compound, add 0.5 mL of DMSO to completely dissolve the sample, and then add 9.5 mL of sterile water; use the half-dilution method to prepare 7 concentrations of the test solution; pour the prepared test solution (5 mL) into 195 mL of culture medium, and after mixing, a culture medium with a concentration gradient of 150, 75, 37.5, 18.75, 9.375, 4.6875, and 2.34375 μM can be obtained, and the concentration of DMSO in the culture medium is 0.25% (v / v). According to the initial screening method, the dish is poured, inoculated, cultured, and the diameter is measured, and the inhibition rate is calculated. Three parallel groups are set for each experiment. Ensure that there are 5 suitable concentrations within the linear range (20%-80%). The results are shown in Table 3.

[0121] Note: y is the probability value of the average inhibition rate; x is the logarithm of mass concentration lg [C (μM)].

[0122] The results showed that, compared with the commonly used antifungal drug azoxystrobin, the test compounds (samples 1-4) exhibited moderate inhibitory activity against five plant pathogens: apple anthracnose, apple scab, rice blast, cabbage black spot, and corn Curvularia. Specifically, samples 1-4 exhibited higher inhibitory activity than azoxystrobin against apple anthracnose; samples 2 and 3 exhibited higher inhibitory activity than azoxystrobin against apple scab; samples 1-4 exhibited higher inhibitory activity than azoxystrobin against rice blast; samples 1-3 exhibited higher inhibitory activity than azoxystrobin against cabbage black spot; and samples 1-4 all exhibited higher inhibitory activity than azoxystrobin against corn Curvularia.
