Trichoderma virens Gl006 and Bacillus velezensis Bs006: a compatible interaction controlling Fusarium wilt of cape gooseberry.

ABSTRACT: The combination of Trichoderma virens Gl006 and B. velezensis Bs006 as a consortium has high potential to control Fusarium wilt (FW) of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana) caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. physali (Foph). However, the interactions between these two microorganisms that influence the biocontrol activity as a consortium have not been studied. Here, we studied the interactions between Gl006 and Bs006 that keep their compatibility under in vitro and greenhouse conditions. Antagonism tests between Gl006 and Bs006 inoculated both individually and in consortium against Foph strain Map5 was carried out on several solid media. The effect of supernatant of each selected microorganism on growth, conidia germination, biofilm formation and antagonistic activity on its partner was also studied. Biocontrol activity by different combinations of cells and supernatants from both microorganisms against Fusarium wilt was evaluated under greenhouse conditions. In vitro antagonism of the consortium against Foph showed a differential response among culture media and showed compatibility among BCA under nutritional conditions close to those of the rhizosphere. The supernatant of Bs006 did not affect the antagonistic activity of Gl006 and vice versa. However, the supernatant of Bs006 promoted the biocontrol activity of Gl006 in a synergistic way under greenhouse, reducing the disease severity by 71%. These results prove the compatibility between T. virens Gl006 and B. velezensis Bs006 as a potential tool to control Fusarium wilt of cape gooseberry.

Project description:Cucumber Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum, is a devastating disease of cucumber and leads to enormous economic losses worldwide. The antagonistic bacterium Bacillus velezensis NH-1 suppresses F. oxysporum For a higher biological control effect, control-released microcapsules of NH-1 were prepared using cell immobilization technology. NH-1 cells were embedded in combinations of the biodegradable wall materials sodium alginate, chitosan, and cassava-modified starch to prepare control-released microbiological microcapsules. For the preparation of alginate single-layer microcapsules, the highest embedding rate of 72.60% was obtained by applying 3% sodium alginate and 2% calcium chloride. After the application of monolayer alginate microcapsules in soil, the number of bacterial cells corresponded to a sustained release curve, and the survival rate of NH-1 was higher than the control in which soil was directly irrigated with NH-1 broth. The use of 0.8% chitosan (pH 3.0) and 0.5% cassava-modified starch in the preparation of double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules changed the performance of the microcapsules and increased the embedding rate. After dry storage for 65 days, the number of NH-1 cells was at the highest level in the monolayer microcapsules. In the field experiment, the control efficiency of alginate-coated monolayer microcapsules on Fusarium wilt was 100%, which was significantly higher than for the NH-1 culture and double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules. Collectively, sodium alginate is an ideal wall material for preparing slow-release bacterial microcapsules to control cucumber Fusarium wilt. Monolayer alginate microcapsules retard the release of B. velezensis NH-1 in soils and significantly improve its biocontrol efficiency on cucumber Fusarium wilt.IMPORTANCEBacillus species are often used for the biocontrol of various plant pathogens, but the control efficiency of Bacillus is usually unstable in field experiments. To improve the control efficiency of Bacillus, in this study, microcapsules of Bacillus velezensis strain NH-1 were prepared using different wall materials (sodium alginate, chitosan, and cassava-modified starch). It was found that the control efficiency of alginate-coated monolayer microcapsules on Fusarium wilt was 100% in field experiments, which was higher than for NH-1 culture and double-layer and triple-layer microcapsules. This study provides a new approach for preparing a biocontrol agent against Fusarium wilt with high biocontrol efficiency.

Project description:BackgroundVascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum is the most important disease in cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) in Colombia. The development of resistant cultivars is considered one of the most cost-effective means to reduce the impact of this disease. In order to do so, it is necessary to provide breeders with molecular markers and promising germplasm for introgression of different resistance loci as part of breeding schemes. Here we described an association mapping study in cape gooseberry with the goal to: (i) select promising materials for use in plant breeding and (ii) identify SNPs associated with the cape gooseberry resistance response to the F. oxysporum pathogen under greenhouse conditions, as potential markers for cape gooseberry breeding.ResultsWe found a total of 21 accessions with different resistance responses within a diversity panel of 100 cape gooseberry accessions. A total of 60,663 SNPs were also identified within the same panel by means of GBS (Genotyping By Sequencing). Model-based population structure and neighbor-joining analyses showed three populations comprising the cape gooseberry panel. After correction for population structure and kinship, we identified SNPs markers associated with the resistance response against F. oxysporum. The identification of markers was based on common tags using the reference genomes of tomato and potato as well as the root/stem transcriptome of cape gooseberry. By comparing their location with the tomato genome, 16 SNPs were found in genes involved in defense/resistance response to pathogens, likewise when compared with the genome of potato, 12 markers were related.ConclusionsThe work presented herein provides the first association mapping study in cape gooseberry showing both the identification of promising accessions with resistance response phenotypes and the identification of a set of SNP markers mapped to defense/resistance response genes of reference genomes. Thus, the work also provides new knowledge on candidate genes involved in the P. peruviana - F. oxysporum pathosystem as a foundation for further validation in marker-assisted selection. The results have important implications for conservation and breeding strategies in cape gooseberry.

Project description:One major issue in reducing cucumber yield is the destructive disease Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (Foc). When using the isolate VJH504 isolated from cucumber rhizosphere soil and identified as Bacillus velezensis, the growth of Foc in the double culture experiment was effectively inhibited. Phenotypic, phylogenetic, and genomic analyses were conducted to enhance understanding of its biocontrol mechanism. According to the result of the phenotype analysis, B. velezensis VJH504 could inhibit cucumber fusarium wilt disease both in vitro and in vivo, and significantly promote cucumber seed germination and seedling growth. Additionally, the tests of growth-promoting and biocontrol characteristics revealed the secretion of proteases, amylases, β-1,3-glucanases, cellulases, as well as siderophores and indole-3-acetic acid by B. velezensis VJH504. Using the PacBio Sequel II system, we applied the complete genome sequencing for B. velezensis VJH504 and obtained a single circular chromosome with a size of 3.79 Mb. A phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences of B. velezensis VJH504 and 13 other Bacillus species, and Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analysis was performed using their whole-genome sequences, confirming isolateVJH504 as B. velezensis. Following this, based on the complete genome sequence od B. velezensis VJH504, specific functional analysis, Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) analysis, and secondary metabolite analysis were carried out, predicting organism's abilities for biofilm formation, production of antifungal CAZymes, and synthesis of antagonistic secondary metabolites against pathogens. Afterwards, a comparative genomic analysis was performed between B. velezensis VJH504 and three other B. velezensis strains, revealing subtle differences in their genomic sequences and suggesting the potential for the discovery of novel antimicrobial substances in B. velezensis VJH504. In conclusion, the mechanism of B. velezensis VJH504 in controlling cucumber fusarium wilt was predicted to appear that B. velezensis VJH504is a promising biocontrol agent, showcasing excellent application potential in agricultural production.

Project description:The watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is one of the most important horticultural crops for fruit production worldwide. However, the production of watermelon is seriously restricted by one kind of soilborne disease, Fusarium wilt, which is caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (Fon). In this study, we identified an efficient PGPR strain B. velezensis F21, which could be used in watermelon production for Fon control. The results of biocontrol mechanisms showed that B. velezensis F21 could suppress the growth and spore germination of Fon in vitro. Moreover, B. velezensis F21 could also enhance plant basal immunity to Fon by increasing the expression of plant defense related genes and activities of some defense enzymes, such as CAT, POD, and SOD. To elucidate the detailed mechanisms regulating B. velezensis F21 biocontrol of Fusarium wilt in watermelon, a comparative transcriptome analysis using watermelon plant roots treated with B. velezensis F21 or sterile water alone and in combination with Fon inoculation was conducted. The transcriptome sequencing results revealed almost one thousand ripening-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the process of B. velezensis F21 triggering ISR (induced systemic resistance) to Fon. In addition, the Gene Ontology (GO) classification and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment indicated that numerous of transcription factors (TFs) and plant disease resistance genes were activated and validated by using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), which showed significant differences in expression levels in the roots of watermelon with different treatments. In addition, genes involved in the MAPK signaling pathway and phytohormone signaling pathway were analyzed, and the results indicated that B. velezensis F21 could enhance plant disease resistance to Fon through the above related genes and phytohormone signal factors. Taken together, this study substantially expands transcriptome data resources and suggests a molecular framework for B. velezensis F21 inducing systemic resistance to Fon in watermelon. In addition, it also provides an effective strategy for the control of Fusarium wilt in watermelon.
