Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of macadamia nut resistance breeding technology, specifically relating to a method for identifying macadamia nut anthracnose resistance. Background Technology

[0002] Anthracnose is one of the common diseases of macadamia nuts, mainly affecting the leaves, young shoots and fruits. Symptoms include the death of young shoots, yellowing of young leaves with black patches on the surface, and dark brown coloration of young fruits and shells, which gradually develop into black conidiophores, affecting the yield and quality of macadamia nuts.

[0003] Chemical agents are a common means of controlling anthracnose, but long-term use of a single chemical agent can lead to drug resistance in anthracnose. Currently, anthracnose has developed varying degrees of resistance to existing chemical agents. In order to improve the control effect, fruit growers usually increase the dosage of chemical agents, which will accelerate the development of resistance and also lead to pesticide residue problems.

[0004] Therefore, breeding disease-resistant varieties can avoid the resistance problems caused by the use of chemical agents. Breeding anthracnose-resistant varieties of macadamia nuts requires precise resistance identification. Currently, there is no readily available method for identifying macadamia nut resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a method for identifying resistance to macadamia anthracnose, so as to identify resistant varieties quickly and accurately.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A method for identifying resistance to macadamia anthracnose, comprising the following steps: S1. Material Preparation Prepare macadamia nut anthracnose fungal cakes, 6-10 mm in size; Harvest healthy, fresh, and uniformly growing macadamia nut leaves, disinfect them, and then dry them. S2, Inoculation via laceration The fungal cake was fixed to the scratched area of ​​the macadamia leaf and placed in a light incubator with a temperature of 30℃-32℃ and a humidity of 70%, with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. S3, Resistance Evaluation Seven days after inoculation, the diameter of the lesions was measured, and the percentage of the lesion area covering the entire leaf was calculated to confirm the disease severity of the macadamia nut. Grade 0: The area of ​​the lesion accounts for 0% of the total area of ​​the sample tissue; Grade 1: 0% < lesion area accounts for < 10% of the total sample tissue area; Grade 2: 10% ≤ lesion area accounts for < 20% of the total sample tissue area; Grade 3: 20% ≤ lesion area accounts for < 50% of the total sample tissue area; Grade 4: 50% ≤ lesion area accounts for < 75% of the total sample tissue area; Grade 5: 75% ≤ lesion area as a percentage of the total sample tissue area; The formula for calculating the disease index is: Incidence rate I (%) = (Number of cases investigated / Total number of cases investigated) × 100 Disease Index (DI) = [(∑leaf size for each disease level × representative value for each disease level) / (total number of leaves surveyed × highest disease level value)] × 100; Based on the disease index, the resistance level of macadamia nut anthrax is divided into 5 categories: High resistance (HR): 0 ≤ DI < 10; Disease resistance (R): 10 ≤ DI < 25; Mid-range antibody (MR): 25 ≤ DI < 45; Sickness (S): 45 ≤ DI < 75; High sensitivity (HS): DI≥75.

[0007] Furthermore, the method for preparing purified mycelial cake is as follows: collect diseased specimens from macadamia leaves, rinse them with sterile water, cut off the diseased tissue at the junction of diseased and healthy tissue, disinfect and rinse with sterile water again, air dry, and then invert them on the culture medium for cultivation; when the anthracnose pathogen has covered the slant culture medium, take a single mycelium from the edge of the colony for purification and cultivation, repeat the substitution purification three times to obtain purified mycelial cake.

[0008] Further purification and culture were carried out for 4-7 days at a temperature of 25°C.

[0009] Furthermore, the inoculated macadamia leaves were placed in a light incubator and first treated in the dark at 30℃-32℃ for 24 hours.

[0010] Furthermore, the nutritional components of the culture medium include the following: sweet potato flour, glucose, yeast powder, maifanite, sucrose, peptone, calcium nitrate, hydrogel, and vitamins.

[0011] Furthermore, the hydrogel is a chitosan-hyaluronic acid hydrogel, and the weight percentage of chitosan is 15-20%; the molecular weight of the chitosan is ≤2.5×10⁻⁶. 5 Its weight percentage is 8-12%.

[0012] Furthermore, the method for preparing the nutrients in the culture medium is as follows: S1, sweet potato powder is added to water, heated and stirred to dissolve, and stirred to obtain substance A; S2, maifan stone is ground and treated, added to alkaline solution and ultrasonically treated for 3-5 minutes, precipitated, filtered, and dried to obtain maifan stone powder; S3, glucose, yeast powder, and vitamins are taken, added to water and stirred to dissolve, then maifan stone powder is added and stirred evenly to obtain substance B; S4, glucose, sucrose, yeast powder, peptone, and calcium nitrate are taken, added to water and stirred to dissolve, then chitosan-hyaluronic acid hydrogel is added and stirred evenly to obtain substance C; S5, substance C is added to substance B and stirred evenly, then substance A is added, and stirring is continued until uniform, dried, and pulverized to obtain the nutrients.

[0013] Furthermore, in step S2, the maifan stone is ground to a particle size of 100-150 mesh; before adding the alkaline solution, the ground maifan stone is first added to the acid solution and stirred for 1-2 minutes, then filtered and washed until neutral.

[0014] Furthermore, the weight ratio of glucose in step S3 to glucose in step S4 is 1:2-5; the weight ratio of yeast powder in step S3 to yeast powder in step S4 is 1:0.4-1.

[0015] Furthermore, the nutrient particles obtained by pulverizing in step S4 have a particle size of 0.5-2 mm.

[0016] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: This application describes a method for identifying anthracnose-resistant macadamia varieties by culturing the fungus, obtaining purified anthracnose mycelium, and then inoculating healthy leaves with the fungus through scrambling. The application also describes the classification of disease index by statistically analyzing the diameter of leaf lesions, and the evaluation of anthracnose resistance characteristics of macadamia nuts based on the disease index.

[0017] The nutrients used in the culture medium of this invention conform to the growth characteristics of anthrax bacteria, which can accelerate the growth and reproduction of the bacteria and provide a basis for subsequent identification. In the early stage of inoculation, the bacteria grow slowly and consume less nutrients. The carbon source at this stage is sweet potato starch. As the bacteria grow and reproduce, their demand for nutrients increases, and the demand for nitrogen, carbon, vitamins, etc., gradually increases. At this time, the nutrients adsorbed by maifanite are slowly absorbed by the bacteria. Moreover, the loose and porous nature of maifanite also helps the mycelium grow and facilitates the absorption of nutrients. As the bacteria multiply and their numbers increase, the nutrients in the culture medium are consumed, and the chitosan-hyaluronic acid hydrogel is exposed. It swells under alkaline conditions, allowing the nutrients encapsulated in it to flow out, which helps the bacteria absorb them.

[0018] Maifan stone is first acid-treated to make it loose and porous, and then alkali-treated. This allows the metal ions on the maifan stone to adsorb some hydroxide ions. During the mixing process with carbon and nitrogen sources, some complexation reactions occur. When the pH of the bacterial growth medium decreases, the pH can be adjusted by hydroxide ions, and nutrients can be released for the bacteria to absorb. Attached Figure Description

[0053] The names of the macadamia varieties and their ages used in the experiment are detailed in Table 1.

[0054] Table 1. List of Macadamia Nut Varieties

[0055] Healthy, fresh, mature, and uniformly growing macadamia leaves were collected from each of the 11 varieties, with 11 leaves per variety. After disinfection, the leaves were dried. The epidermis of the macadamia leaves was gently punctured with a needle. Ten leaves were inoculated with the pathogen cultured in Example 3 (the mycelial cake cultured in Example 3 was fixed at the puncture site of the macadamia leaf), and one leaf was inoculated with culture medium as a negative control. After inoculation, the leaves were placed in a light incubator at a temperature of 30°C and a humidity of 70%, with 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness. Seven days after inoculation, the lesion area and relative fungal biomass of the leaves were measured.

[0056] The percentage of lesion area was determined by measuring the lesion area using a grid method and then calculating its ratio to the leaf area.

[0057] The relative biomass of fungi was measured using real-time quantitative PCR. Specifically, DNA was extracted from leaves, diluted 5-10 times until the concentration was consistent, and then used for real-time quantitative PCR. The SYBR Super Mix from Vazyme was used as the real-time quantitative PCR reagent, and amplification was performed using a Bio-RAD real-time quantitative PCR instrument. Gene expression levels were calculated using a relative quantitative method, with the expression level of the Ubiquitin gene as a reference. The formula for calculating the relative expression level of the target gene was 2 - (Δtarget gene Ct - ΔUbiquitin Ct). The experimental results were taken as the average of three replicates, and the error was expressed as standard error (SE). The identification results are shown in Table 2.

[0059] The disease index for each group was calculated based on Table 2, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0060] Table 3. Results of macadamia nut disease index in each experimental group.

[0061] As shown in Tables 2 and 3, using the identification method of this invention, with varieties HAES 660 and A16 as control groups, the results are as follows: HAES 660 is a highly resistant variety, Guire 1, Guire 5, and Guire 7 are disease-resistant varieties, OC is a moderately resistant variety, JW, 900, Guire Yin 2, and Guire Yin 3 are disease-susceptible varieties, and 695 is a susceptible variety.
