Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a strain of Aeromonas vaginalis, a soil conditioner, a plant growth promoter, a method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Soil salinization has become a global agricultural ecological and environmental problem, posing a major abiotic stress factor threatening global agricultural production and crop yields. High salt concentrations in soil significantly affect plant growth and development, even leading to plant death and reduced land utilization. Currently used methods for improving saline-alkali land include irrigation to leach salt, deep tillage with imported soil, and the use of chemical amendments. These methods can improve soil conditions to some extent, but they are costly and prone to causing secondary pollution. How to improve and efficiently utilize saline-alkali land, and how to protect and enhance the ability of important economic crops to withstand salt stress, are critical agricultural science and technology issues that the international community urgently needs to address.

[0003] Rhizosphere soil contains a rich variety of beneficial microorganisms that can directly or indirectly promote plant growth through one or more mechanisms. These mechanisms include promoting the absorption and utilization of mineral nutrients, producing plant growth hormones, secreting antibiotics to protect plants from pathogens, and activating plant defense systems to resist stress. Utilizing beneficial rhizosphere microorganisms to improve the physical and chemical properties of saline-alkali soils, enhance crop salt tolerance, and promote crop growth is characterized by low investment, rapid results, and high efficiency. Therefore, applying rhizosphere microorganisms or microbial fertilizers to the soil in agricultural production can effectively reduce the adverse effects of traditional soil improvement methods, and is more conducive to soil health and environmental protection.

[0133] Example 4

[0134] The strain PJ3-6 of this invention has a significant growth-promoting effect on wheat, increasing the content of available phosphorus in the soil and reducing soil electrical conductivity. This is illustrated below through a pot experiment.

[0135] 1. The test soil was taken from the Modern Agricultural Development Zone of Qianwan New Area, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province. The soil sample was coastal saline soil of rice-wheat rotation (30.33236°N, 121.38936°E). The basic physicochemical properties of the test soil are as follows: total carbon 12.93 g / kg, total nitrogen 1.06 g / kg, available phosphorus 31.86 mg / kg, available potassium 417.90 mg / kg, pH 8.93. 110 g of air-dried soil that had passed through a 4 mm sieve was dispensed into 100 mL plastic beakers, sealed with plastic wrap, and sent to Nanjing Zhenglong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. for irradiation sterilization. The beakers were then dispensed into beakers for the PJ3-6 treatment group and the blank control group.

[0136] 2. Sterilize the surface of wheat seeds, then place them on a sterile culture medium and germinate them in the dark at 28°C for 2 days.

[0137] 3. Set up a PJ3-6 treatment group and a blank control group (CK). The only difference between the PJ3-6 treatment group and the CK was that the PJ3-6 treatment group had the addition of strain PJ3-6, and the inoculum size of strain PJ3-6 was 10. 6 cfu / g dry soil; CK group did not receive strain PJ3-6. Five replicates were performed for each treatment group and CK group.

[0138] Both the treatment group and the control (CK) were pre-cultured at 28℃ for 2 days, and then the soil moisture content was adjusted to 60% of the field capacity. Pre-germinated wheat seeds were then planted in beakers, with two seeds per beaker. After germination, the best-growing plant was retained. The wheat was cultured at 25℃ under conditions of 16 h / d light and 8 h / d darkness, and was regularly watered with sterile water to maintain consistent moisture content across treatments. Destructive sampling was performed on days 15 and 30 of culture to determine soil available phosphorus, pH, and electrical conductivity. Three plant samples were randomly selected for analysis of wheat biomass and root morphology.

[0139] The determination of available phosphorus in soil is based on the standard NY / T1121.7-2014, "Soil Testing Part 7: Determination of Available Phosphorus in Soil"; the determination of soil pH is based on the potentiometric method (HJ 962-2018); and the determination of soil electrical conductivity is based on the electrode method (HJ 802-2016).

[0140] Three plant samples were randomly selected to measure indicators such as wheat biomass and root morphology.

[0141] Separate the above-ground and underground parts of the plant after cleaning, and dry the surface moisture with absorbent paper. Immediately weigh each part using an electronic balance and record the fresh weight.

[0142] After cleaning, place the above-ground and underground parts of the plant separately in an 80℃ oven for 2-3 days to dry to constant weight, and record the dry weight.

[0143] Leaf area was measured using a Jieyu high-definition camera and Wanshen LA-S leaf analysis software, and root morphology and structure were measured using a root scanner and Wanshen LA-S root analysis software.

[0144] The results are shown in Tables 6-9. Table 6 shows that inoculation with PJ3-6 significantly increased the content of available phosphorus in the soil, significantly reduced soil electrical conductivity, and also showed a decreasing trend in soil pH, which has a positive effect on the improvement of saline-alkali land. Table 7 shows that inoculation with PJ3-6 significantly increased the fresh and dry weight of wheat aboveground biomass, and the fresh and dry weight of underground parts also showed an increasing trend compared to the control (CK). Table 8 shows that inoculation with PJ3-6 significantly increased wheat leaf area and leaf perimeter, promoting leaf development. Table 9 shows that inoculation with PJ3-6 significantly promoted wheat root development, resulting in a significant increase in root volume and root tip number compared to the control (CK). Therefore, it can be seen that the strain PJ3-6 of this invention has multiple functions including salt tolerance, phosphorus solubilization, and IAA production, and can be applied in saline-alkali soils to increase the content of available phosphorus, reduce soil electrical conductivity, and promote plant leaf growth and root development.

[0157] In summary, the Aeromonas hydrophila PJ3-6 provided by this invention has multiple functions such as salt tolerance, phosphorus solubilization, and indoleacetic acid production. It can adapt to saline-alkali soils, increase the available phosphorus content of the soil, reduce soil electrical conductivity, and promote wheat leaf growth and root development. It has good application prospects in promoting plant growth and improving soil in saline-alkali lands.
