Abstract:

To explore the control effect and elementary mechanism of lactulose on cucumber Fusarium wilt, samples treated with different concentrations of lactulose and activity of related resistance enzymes were tested on cucumber. Inhibition rate of lactulose on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum was determined by the growth rate method, the control effect test was carried out with radicle inoculation method and root inoculation method in potted cultivation, and the activity of related resistance enzymes were assayed by spectrophotometry. 1 mg/L lactulose had the best control effect in the concentration gradient test, and the control effect was 43.87% and 41.97% through seed soaking at radicle stage and spray at cotyledon stage, respectively, followed by the control effect of 0.1 mg/L lactulose, which was 39.62% and 37.21%, respectively. However, in vitro activity against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum test showed that lactulose had no activity. The activity test of peroxidase(POD), polyphenol oxidase(PPO), catalase(CAT) and phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL) in cucumber showed that lactulose treated samples expressed higher level of activity than that of control, especially PAL activity of seed soaking at radicle stage and spray at cotyledon stage with 1 mg/L lactulose increased by 97.5% and 92.4%, respectively. In summary, the main mechanism of controlling cucumber Fusarium wilt is the induced resistance of cucumber by lactulose, which can be used as a new kind of biological pesticide in agricultural plant disease prevention and has great potential for development.
