Suitable primers were screened and designed. The designed primer sequences and corresponding target fragments are shown in Table 2.

[0023] Among them, the sequence number of the target fragments corresponding to P463-F and P463-R2 is SEQ ID NO.3, and the sequence number of the target fragments corresponding to P463-F3 and P463-R3 is SEQ ID NO.4, as shown in Table 2.

[0024] Table 2 Penicillium sp.PQxj3 specific primer sequence and target fragment Example 2: Specificity verification analysis of the primer pairs in Example 1. The first step is to culture the slant culture Penicillium strain PQxj3 was inoculated into Erlenmeyer flasks containing wheat bran solid medium and cultured at 28°C for 7 days. During the culture process, initial static incubation allowed for abundant mycelial growth, followed by appropriate shaking to ensure even distribution of the mycelium. Finally, static incubation was repeated until sufficient mycelium and spores were produced, yielding the desired strain. Penicillium sp. PQxj3 microbial agent (hereinafter referred to as "PQxj3 microbial agent"); Among them, the bran solid culture medium (placed in a 250ml Erlenmeyer flask): weigh 40 g of fine bran, add 32 mL of distilled water, control the moisture content of the bran to 80%, and sterilize at 121℃ for 20 min. The second step is to mix water, nutrient soil and vermiculite in a mass ratio of 3:2:1 to obtain tobacco potting soil. Divide the tobacco potting soil into 10cm×10cm plastic pots, sow tobacco seeds in each plastic pot, and cultivate in a 28℃ cultivation room until the tobacco has 4-6 leaves. Tobacco plants with uniform growth were selected and divided into two groups: one group (experimental group 1, with 1 g of PQxj3 inoculant added to the root system of each tobacco plant); and the other group (blank soil group, i.e., without any added microbial inoculant). A commercially available *Penicillium baicalensis* strain was used as a control group. The soil was inoculated onto PDA medium. Penicillium sp.PQxj3 strain was used as experimental group 2, and ddH2O was used as the blank group; The third step was to obtain whole-genome DNA by sampling. Whole-genome DNA was extracted from the control group and experimental group 2 using the CTAB method. For experimental group 1 and the blank soil group, soil around the roots of tobacco was taken and whole-genome DNA of microorganisms in each soil group was extracted using the D5625-01-EZNA SoilDNA Kit (following the instructions of the kit). Two pairs of primers designed in Example 1 were used to amplify the whole genomic DNA of each group by PCR. The PCR products were then analyzed by electrophoresis on a 0.8% agarose gel to detect whether the PCR products contained bands of the target fragment. The results are shown in [Figure 1]. Figures 3-4 The PCR amplification reaction system and PCR amplification program are shown in Tables 3-4, respectively. Table 3 PCR reaction system Table 4 PCR reaction procedure Depend on Figures 3-4 It can be seen that both primer pairs can amplify Penicillium sp. The target band of the PQxj3 genome was detected, but primer pairs P463-F3 and P463-R3 amplified nonspecifically in the blank group. Furthermore, using primer pairs P463-F and P463-R2, the target band was still present in experimental group 1 after 20 days, while no target band was observed in the untreated blank soil group after 20 days. Neither the *Penicillium baicalensis* strain nor the blank ddH2O group amplified the corresponding band. These results demonstrate that the primer pairs P463-F and P463-R2 of this invention can be used to specifically identify *P. baicalensis* in soil. Penicillium sp. PQxj3 can be used to optimize its application conditions in different environments, crops, and soils to achieve the best effect in promoting plant growth.

The target fragment was cloned into a plasmid vector using the One step ZTOPO-Blunt / TA Zero Background Fast Cloning Kit (following the instructions), and then transformed into E. coli DH5α to amplify the plasmid. Plasmids were extracted using the SanPrep Column Plasmid Mini-Preps Kit (following the instructions). The extracted plasmids were then diluted 10-fold to 10⁻⁶. 8 -10 2 copiea / μL was used to obtain the standard plasmid; The plasmid was prepared according to the formula Y (copiea / μL) = [DNA concentration X (ng / μL) × 10]. -9 [DNA length (bp) × 660] × 6.02 × 10 23 Convert the copy number to the standard plasmid, perform qPCR test, and then plot the standard curve. The qPCR reaction system was prepared according to the instructions for 2×HQ SYBR qPCR Mix (High ROX) (see Table 5), and the qPCR reaction procedure is shown in Table 6. Table 5 qPCR reaction system Table 6 qPCR reaction procedure A standard curve was plotted based on the qPCR test results (Ct) and copy number of the standard plasmid. The R-squared value of the standard curve was... 2 A value of 0.999 indicates a good linear relationship; see details below.

The copy number of the target gene in the actual sample could be obtained from the standard curve plotted in the first step. The results are shown in [Table 4]. Figure 6 .Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that, according to Penicillium sp. The target gene in the soil of tobacco potted plants treated with PQxj3 still had a copy number as high as 10 after 20 days. 8 / g, while almost no copy number was detected in the blank tobacco soil (CK).
