Biocontrol potential and mechanism of Bacillus velezensis YMG-03 for sesame diseases
Sesame, a globally important oilseed crop, faces significant threats from fungal diseases, leading to substantial yield and quality losses. Utilizing antagonistic bacteria for biological control offers a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fungicides in sustainable agriculture. This study investigated the control effects and mechanisms of the Bacillus velezensis strain YMG-03 against sesame diseases. In dual-culture comparison assays, YMG-03 broadly inhibited eight major sesame pathogens, achieving 83.73% suppression against Macrophomina phaseolina, causing sesame stem blight. Scanning electron microscopy revealed severe morphological disruption of M. phaseolina hyphae following a dual-culture comparison assay with strain YMG-03. Pot experiments demonstrated that YMG-03 significantly suppressed stem blight disease and enhanced sesame growth. Genome analysis of strain YMG-03 revealed a 3.93 Mb circular chromosome containing 12 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters (e.g., surfactin, fengycin, bacillibactin) and genes encoding hydrolytic enzymes (e.g., chitinase, cellulase), indicating its genetic potential for antagonistic metabolite and hydrolases production. Untargeted metabolomics identified 1413 up-regulated metabolites, among which lipids (e.g., liquiritigenin, jasmonic acid, capsaicin), organic acids (e.g., 6-aminopenicillanic acid, piperic acid, coumaric acid), and key precursors for biocontrol metabolites (3-hydroxy fatty acids, N-acetylglucosamine, L-leucine) significantly accumulated. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed their association with fatty acid metabolism, polyketide/terpenoid biosynthesis, and amino sugar metabolism, consistent with the predicted antagonistic functions from genomic data. These findings systematically elucidate the dual role of B. velezensis YMG-03 in synergistically promoting sesame growth and controlling stem blight, and provide both strain resources and theoretical foundations for applying B. velezensis in biological control.
期刊介绍:
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology provides an International forum for original research papers, reviews, and commentaries on all aspects of the molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, histology and cytology, genetics and evolution of plant-microbe interactions.
Papers on all kinds of infective pathogen, including viruses, prokaryotes, fungi, and nematodes, as well as mutualistic organisms such as Rhizobium and mycorrhyzal fungi, are acceptable as long as they have a bearing on the interaction between pathogen and plant.
