Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of RNA biological control technology, specifically involving the application of dsRNA targeting actin encoding genes. Background Technology

[0002] Anthrax ( genus Anthrax) Colletotrichum genus Anthracnose is one of the world's ten most important fungal plant pathogens. The anthracnose it causes severely damages crops, cash crops, and horticultural plants, often leading to leaf death, fruit rot, and sharp yield reduction. In tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean regions, anthracnose lowers the quality of exported fruits. Mangoes and bananas, as important export fruits in tropical and subtropical regions, are particularly susceptible to anthracnose, severely reducing their commercial value and often causing significant economic losses after harvest, posing a prominent threat to the global mango and banana industries.

[0003] RNA pesticides are novel biological pesticides developed based on RNA interference technology. Essentially, they specifically bind to the mRNA transcribed from specific genes in target organisms. Through the naturally occurring RNAi pathway within the target organism, they cause transcript degradation or inhibit translation, thereby interfering with the normal growth of the target organism and its harm to the host plant, ultimately achieving pest control and plant protection. RNA pesticides are defined as biological pesticides. Compared to traditional chemical pesticides, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) pesticides have many advantages. First, dsRNA has strong specificity and efficient gene silencing ability without involving transgenic technology. Second, based on target design, dsRNA can inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, thus controlling the diseases they cause. Furthermore, dsRNA can cross cell membranes and be delivered within the body. Finally, dsRNA is easily degraded in the environment, making it an environmentally friendly pesticide. Based on these advantages, RNA pesticides offer significant benefits for pest and disease control: high specificity, good efficacy, low risk of resistance development, non-toxic, harmless, and residue-free, with low development costs, representing a cutting-edge direction in green agricultural pest control.

[0004] However, the application of RNA pesticides also faces many challenges. For example, naked dsRNA is easily degraded by enzymes and ultraviolet light in the environment, resulting in short-lived efficacy; the epidermis of harmful organisms hinders the absorption of dsRNA, leading to low dsRNA delivery efficiency and affecting the silencing effect of target genes; and large-scale synthesis of dsRNA is costly. Therefore, how to obtain highly efficient and targeted anthrax RNA pesticides is an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0024] To further illustrate the present invention, the solutions provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but these should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example

[0026] 1. Previous studies have shown that actin CaACTIN Gene( CaACTIN The gene (accessed on NCBI with accession number OP142727.1) is a housekeeping gene essential for the survival of anthrax bacteria, and it may have the potential to serve as a target for anthrax control; according to CaACTIN A pair of specific primers, dsCaACTIN-F (SEQ ID No. 3) and dsCaACTIN-R (SEQ ID No. 4), were designed to extract the highly pathogenic wild-type strain of *Anthracis Asiana*. Colletotrichum asianum Using DNA from mango fruit anthracnose collected in Hainan from the laboratory and isolated and identified as a template, a DNA fragment (SEQ ID No. 1) was amplified for subsequent dsCaACTIN synthesis. Primers were designed based on the first 133 bp of the CaACTIN gene to synthesize dsRNA targeting this actin-encoding gene. Because the ACTIN gene family exhibits high overall homology, designing the full-length sequence could easily lead to off-target effects of non-specific silencing. Selecting the specific first 133 bp region significantly reduces intergene homology, effectively avoiding off-target risks and improving the specificity and experimental safety of dsRNA-mediated gene silencing. The position of dsCaACTIN on the CaACTIN protein is shown below. Figure 1As shown in Figure a. The specific primer sequences are shown in Table 1:

Colletotrichum asianum 02-3 (obtained from anthracnose-infected mango fruits collected from Hainan by the laboratory and isolated), *Anthracnose sirenus* Colletotrichum siamense 28-2 (obtained from anthracnose-infected mango leaves collected from Hainan during laboratory visits and isolated), Banana anthracnose fungus. Colletotrichum musae 3-1 (obtained from anthracnose-infected banana fruits collected in Hainan by the laboratory) was activated on PDA solid medium. Fresh mycelia were scraped from the edges of the activated strain and cultured in PD liquid medium at 28°C for 4 days. The fresh spore suspension was then filtered and diluted to 1×10⁻⁶. 6 per mL.

[0071] 5. Layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials loaded with dseGFP (dsRNA targeting enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein, a double-stranded RNA molecule encoding enhanced green fluorescent protein GFP).

[0072] Magnesium / aluminum layered double hydroxide MgAl-LDH (purchased from Nanjing Xianfeng Nanomaterials Technology Co., Ltd., product number: XFL02) was dissolved in DEPC water to obtain LDH working solution (200 μg / mL); dseGFP was diluted with LDH working solution to prepare LDH-dseGFP mixture (final concentration of dseGFP in the mixture was 200 ng / μL); the diluted LDH-dseGFP mixture was placed in a 55℃ water bath and allowed to stand for 1 min, then quickly transferred to a high-speed vortex shaker and shaken for 2 min, and allowed to stand for 2 min. At this time, dseGFP was adsorbed on the LDH surface to form stable LDH-dseGFP nanoparticles. dseGFP is artificially synthesized in the laboratory, and its nucleotide sequence is as SEQ ID As shown in No. 7, specifically: 5′-GCAAGCTGACCCTGAAGTTCATCTGCACCACCGGCAAGCTGCCCGTGCCCTGGCCCACCCTCGTGACCACCCTGACCTACGGCGTGCAGTGCTTCAGCCGCTACCCGACCACATGAAGCAGCACGACTTCTTCAAGTCCGCCATGCCCGAAGGCTACGTCCAGGAG CGCACCATCTTCTTCAAGGACGACGGCAACTACAAGACCCGCGCCGAGGTGAAGTTCGAGGGCGACACCCTGGTGAACCGCATCGAGCTGAAGGGCATCGACTTCAAGGAGGACGGCAACATCCTGGGGCACAAGCTGGAGTACAACTACAACAGCCACAACGTCTATATCATGGCCG-3′. Based on the gene SEQ ID No. 7, a pair of specific primers dseGFP-F (SEQ ID No. 5) and dseGFP-R (SEQ ID No. 6) were designed. The primer sequences are shown in Table 1. The specific synthesis method is the same as that for dsCaACTIN.

[0073] 6. dsCaACTIN supported on layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanomaterials.

[0074] Magnesium / aluminum layered double hydroxide MgAl-LDH was dissolved in DEPC water to obtain LDH working solution (200 μg / mL). dsCaACTIN was diluted with the LDH working solution to prepare an LDH-dsCaACTIN mixture (final concentration of dsCaACTIN in the mixture was 200 ng / μL). The diluted LDH-dsCaACTIN mixture was placed in a 55 ℃ water bath and allowed to stand for 1 min, then quickly transferred to a high-speed vortex shaker and shaken for 2 min, followed by standing for 2 min. At this point, dsCaACTIN was adsorbed onto the LDH surface, forming stable LDH-dsCaACTIN nanoparticles.

[0075] 7. Application of LDH-dsCaACTIN in the prevention and control of mango anthracnose (Asian anthracnose).

[0076] The preventive effect of LDH-dsCaACTIN nano-formulation on *Anthracis aureus* in mango was analyzed, and two treatment groups were designed.

[0077] The first group was sprayed with LDH-dseGFP as a control;

[0078] The second group was treated with LDH-dsCaACTIN.

[0079] Mango fruits of uniform growth and size were selected, and two treatment groups (LDH-dsCaACTIN group and control LDH-dseGFP group) were set up, with 5 fruits in each group.

[0080] Two groups of fruits were sprayed separately: each fruit was evenly sprayed with 150 μL of the corresponding treatment solution (LDH-dsCaACTIN or LDH-dseGFP). After treatment and standing for 24 h, six evenly distributed inoculation points were selected on each fruit, and 4 μL of a 1×10⁻⁶ solution was added to each inoculation point. 6 The inoculation procedure was completed using a suspension of Bacillus anthracis 02-3 spores per mL. Results are shown below. Figure 2 .

[0081] The results showed significant differences between the control group LDH-dseGFP and LDH-dsCaACTIN, such as... Figure 2 As shown in Figure a (observation 5 days post-inoculation), the lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment (right) was significantly smaller than that in the control treatment (left). Figure 2 As shown in Figure b, the average lesion area of ​​the control group LDH-dseGFP was 0.2133 cm². 2 The average lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment group was 0.0523 cm². 2Therefore, the dsCaACTIN treatment resulted in a 75.48% reduction in lesion area compared to the control. This indicates that the application of LDH-dsCaACTIN can effectively reduce the infection of mango fruit by Asian anthracnose and has a good protective effect.

[0082] 8. Application of LDH-dsCaACTIN in the prevention and control of mango anthracnose (Anthracnose fungus).

[0083] The preventive effect of LDH-dsCaACTIN nano-formulation on *Anthracis sinensis* in mango was analyzed, and two treatment groups were designed.

[0084] The first group was sprayed with LDH-dseGFP as a control;

[0085] The second group was treated with LDH-dsCaACTIN.

[0086] Mango fruits of uniform growth and size were selected, and two treatment groups (LDH-dsCaACTIN group and control LDH-dseGFP group) were set up, with 5 fruits in each group.

[0087] Two groups of fruits were sprayed separately: each fruit was evenly sprayed with 150 μL of the corresponding treatment solution (LDH-dsCaACTIN or LDH-dseGFP). After treatment and standing for 24 h, six evenly distributed inoculation points were selected on each fruit, and 4 μL of a 1×10⁻⁶ solution was added to each inoculation point. 6 The inoculation procedure was completed using a suspension of *Anthrax sicca* 28-2 spores per mL. Results are shown below. Figure 3 .

[0088] The results showed significant differences between the control group LDH-dseGFP and LDH-dsCaACTIN, such as... Figure 3 As shown in Figure a (observation 5 days post-inoculation), the lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment (right) was significantly smaller than that in the control treatment (left). Figure 3 As shown in Figure b, the average lesion area of ​​the control group LDH-dseGFP was 0.1688 cm². 2 The average lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment group was 0.0929 cm². 2 Therefore, the dsCaACTIN treatment resulted in a 44.96% reduction in lesion area compared to the control. This indicates that the application of LDH-dsCaACTIN can effectively reduce the infection of mango fruit by *Anthracis sinensis* and has a good protective effect.

[0089] 9. Application of LDH-dsCaACTIN in the prevention and control of banana anthracnose (Bacillus anthracnose).

[0090] The preventive effect of LDH-dsCaACTIN nano-formulation on banana anthracnose was analyzed, and two treatment groups were designed.

[0091] The first group was sprayed with LDH-dseGFP as a control;

[0092] The second group was treated with LDH-dsCaACTIN.

[0093] Banana fruits of uniform growth and size were selected, and two treatment groups (LDH-dsCaACTIN group and control LDH-dseGFP group) were set up, with 5 fruits in each group.

[0094] Two groups of fruits were sprayed separately: each fruit was evenly sprayed with 150 μL of the corresponding treatment solution (LDH-dsCaACTIN or LDH-dseGFP). After treatment and standing for 24 h, six evenly distributed inoculation points were selected on each fruit, and 4 μL of a 1×10⁻⁶ solution was added to each inoculation point. 6 The inoculation procedure was completed using a suspension of 3-1 spores of *Anthracis bananais* at a concentration of 1 spore per mL. Results are shown below. Figure 4 .

[0095] The results showed significant differences between the control group LDH-dseGFP and LDH-dsCaACTIN, such as... Figure 4 As shown in Figure a (observation 5 days post-inoculation), the lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment (right) was significantly smaller than that in the control treatment (left). Figure 4 As shown in Figure b, the average lesion area of ​​the control group LDH-dseGFP was 0.2728 cm². 2 The average lesion area in the LDH-dsCaACTIN treatment group was 0.1110 cm². 2 Therefore, the dsCaACTIN treatment resulted in a 59.31% reduction in lesion area compared to the control. This indicates that applying LDH-dsCaACTIN can effectively reduce the infection of banana fruits by banana anthracnose and has a good protective effect.
