The invention discloses application of
naringin in resisting
potato virus Y of plants, and belongs to the technical field of
biology. According to the invention, a candidate compound
naringin is successfully found from a
ZINC database by adopting a
virtual screening method and taking PVYHC-Pro as a target, and then the inhibition effect of the
naringin on PVY is detected by adopting methods such as
protein expression and purification, trace
thermophoresis and
plant living body experiments. Experiments show that after the naringin is sprayed to the
nicotiana benthamiana, obvious green
fluorescence does not appear on
system leaves on the 6th day, and a small amount of
fluorescence appears on the 8th day and the 10th day. The
nicotiana benthamiana sprayed by contrast DMSO shows a large amount of
fluorescence in the 6th day, and the fluorescence is continuously enhanced in the 8th and 10th days. Therefore, the naringin has good inhibitory activity on PVY, that is, the naringin can target PVY HC-Pro
protein to interact with the PVY HC-Pro
protein, and the accumulation of PVY (potato Y
virus) in plants is inhibited.
