The invention relates to a
trichoderma asperellum sourced Cerata-plaatanin (CP) family
protein CP3 and application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of biological prevention and control of
plant diseases. The CP3
protein is derived from
Trichoderma asperellum, belongs to a Cerato-platanin family and has a conservative CP structural domain, the
amino acid sequence registration number of the CP3
protein is XP024756165.1, and the registration number of a coding
gene of the CP3 protein is 36612810 (
Gene ID). The protein is a secreting type protein, has
signal peptide and can be positioned in tomato
cell nucleuses. The invention proves that the
disease spot area of tomatoes infected with
Botrytis cinerea can be reduced by 71% after the CP3 protein is exogenously applied; after tomatoes are treated by the
trichoderma asperellum CP3 overexpression strain, the area of gray mold scabs is remarkably reduced, and the CP3
gene knockout strain has no
disease-resistant effect. The CP3 protein and the
trichoderma asperellum strain expressing the CP3 protein can be used for preparing biological agents for enhancing the
botrytis cinerea resistance, application
modes comprise
rhizosphere application,
root system inoculation and the like, adverse effects on tomato growth are avoided, and a new effective means is provided for green prevention and control of the
botrytis cinerea.
