Abstract
Introduction: Heterodera glycines is one of the most important pathogens of soybean production worldwide. Biological control provides a strategy for sustainable and environmentally friendly nematode management.
Methods: In this study, solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) was used to reveal the volatile nematicidal compounds of Microbacterium maritypicum Sneb159 and the mode of action was further elucidated via whole genome sequencing.
Results: The present study demonstrated that M. maritypicum Sneb159 fermentation broth showed strong nematicidal activities against H. glycines. The filtrate rather than bacterial cells played a role in the nematicidal character, and reduced the invasion number as well as suppressed the development of juveniles in soybean. The analysis of chemotaxis showed that M. maritypicum Sneb159 has a repellent effect on H. glycines in pot experiments. The volatiles produced by M. maritypicum Sneb159 are toxic to H. glycines for both juveniles and eggs. The seven compounds were analyzed using SPME-GC-MS. In the bioassays, dimethyl disulfide and dimethyl trisulfide showed both direct contact and fumigated effect on juveniles and eggs. The complete genome sequence of the bacterium M. maritypicum Sneb159 was completed using the PacBio sequencing platform. The genome comprised 3895529 bp and a 68.63% G + C content. Three secondary metabolites gene clusters were predicted by the antiSMASH system.
Discussion: The findings reveal multifunction of M. maritypicum Sneb159 towards H. glycines, and has the potential to be developed as a safe nematicidal agent.
期刊介绍:
In an ever changing world, plant science is of the utmost importance for securing the future well-being of humankind. Plants provide oxygen, food, feed, fibers, and building materials. In addition, they are a diverse source of industrial and pharmaceutical chemicals. Plants are centrally important to the health of ecosystems, and their understanding is critical for learning how to manage and maintain a sustainable biosphere. Plant science is extremely interdisciplinary, reaching from agricultural science to paleobotany, and molecular physiology to ecology. It uses the latest developments in computer science, optics, molecular biology and genomics to address challenges in model systems, agricultural crops, and ecosystems. Plant science research inquires into the form, function, development, diversity, reproduction, evolution and uses of both higher and lower plants and their interactions with other organisms throughout the biosphere. Frontiers in Plant Science welcomes outstanding contributions in any field of plant science from basic to applied research, from organismal to molecular studies, from single plant analysis to studies of populations and whole ecosystems, and from molecular to biophysical to computational approaches.
Frontiers in Plant Science publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Plant Science. The mission of Frontiers in Plant Science is to bring all relevant Plant Science areas together on a single platform.
