Abstract:

The control effects of Streptomyces costaricanus strain A-m1 on wheat scab were studied in order to lay a foundation for the development of biocontrol agents for wheat production. The effects of A-m1 on spore germination and mycelial growth of wheat scab pathogen were determined, the genetic and enzymatic basis of the bacteriostatic effect of strain A-m1 was analyzed, and the control effect of spraying A-m1 bacterial liquid at flowering stage and applying A-m1 solid bacterial fertilizer at sowing stage on wheat scab was explored. The findings revealed that strain A-m1 exerted a potent inhibitory influence on both the conidial germination and mycelial expansion of Fusarium graminearum. The genomic of A-m1 encoded genes for the synthesis of streptomycin and tetracycline antibiotics, as well as genes such as casein, β-1, 3-glucanase, cellulase, and chitinase. They had the effect of inhibiting or decomposing pathogenic bacteria, and further biochemical analysis verified the secretion of the four enzymes. Spraying A-m1 fermentation broth at wheat flowering stage had a control effect of 52.28 % on wheat scab, a level of efficacy comparable to that of a 1000-fold dilution of 80% carbendazim solution. The application of A-m1 bacterial fertilizer substituting a portion of the traditional compound fertilizer at the sowing stage, led to a marked increase in the activity of defense enzymes, including polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, catalase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase. At the same time, the content of malondialdehyde was lower, and the control effect on wheat scab was 57.18 %. In this study, the control effect of strain A-m1 on wheat scab was clarified, and the underlying mechanisms of its protective action had been partially dissected. Field experiments also confirmed the control effect of A-m1 fermentation broth spraying and strain A-m1 bacterial fertilizer application on wheat scab during sowing period, which laid a good foundation for the reduction of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in wheat production.
