Biocontrol of tomato Verticillium wilt disease by plant growth-promoting bacteria encapsulated in alginate extracted from brown seaweed. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 276:133800. [PMID: 38996895 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.133800] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2024] [Revised: 07/01/2024] [Accepted: 07/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024]
Abstract
The use of beneficial microorganisms and polysaccharides for the biocontrol of plant diseases currently represents a promising tool for the management of soil-borne pathogens. Despite advancements, enhancing the efficacy and sustainability of these biocontrol methods, particularly in complex soil environments, remains a challenge. Thus, we investigated the potential of four PGPR strains encapsulated in natural alginate extracted from a brown seaweed Bifurcaria bifurcata to evaluate its biocontrol capacities against Verticillium wilt of tomato, ensuring optimal performance through a synergistic effect and innovative bacterial release. Our research demonstrated that the application of PGPR and alginate reduced disease severity and mortality rate and increased the natural defenses of tomato. Results showed that supplying alginate or the PGPR consortium at the root level s stimulates phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity (the key enzyme of the phenylpropanoid metabolism) and the accumulation of phenolic compounds and lignin in leaves and roots. Treatment with PGPR encapsulated in alginate beads showed the best biocontrol efficiency and was accompanied by a synergistic effect reflecting a rapid, intense, and systemic induction of defense mechanisms known for their effectiveness in inducing resistance in tomato. These promising results suggest that such bioformulations could lead to innovative agricultural practices for sustainable plant protection against pathogens.

[PMID: 38912495 PMCID: PMC11190591 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32265] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 05/30/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by the fungal pathogen Zymoseptoria tritici, anamorph Septoria tritici Rob. ex Desm., is an important wheat pathogen worldwide, reported to be major wheat production threating factor, posing considerable yield loss every year. Developing resistant cultivars is an efficient, economical, environmentally friendly and simple approach for managing STB. This study was carried out to evaluate spring bread wheat lines for their reaction to STB disease under field conditions; to associate phenotypic and genotypic data for identification of STB disease resistance; and to identify genomic region(s) associated with resistance to STB in spring bread wheat lines. Two hundred forty (240) spring bread wheat lines were evaluated under field conditions in non-replicated trials, using an augmented design. The trials were conducted at three locations (Kulumsa Agricultural Research Center, Madda Walabu University Research Site and Sinana Agricultural Research Center) in 2017 main cropping season (July to December). Out of these 240 wheat lines, 123 of them were genotyped with 10263 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) markers and population structure and association mapping analysis was done. The wheat lines showed significant variations in percentage disease severity and area under the disease progress curve at all the three locations they were evaluated. The wheat lines were classified as resistant, moderately resistant, moderately susceptible and susceptible based on the percentage disease severity scored. Five wheat lines were found to be resistant to STB in all the three locations and are recommended for direct release by the national program and parentage purposes in wheat breeding programs. The 123 wheat lines were clustered into 3 subpopulations in which the first cluster contained 99 wheat lines; the second 17 and the last one 7. Among the polymorphic 8127 SNPs markers, 26 markers on chromosomes 7B, 1D, 3A, 2B, 6B and 3D were found to be significantly (P < 0.001) associated with STB resistance so that they can be utilized for marker assisted selection and gene pyramiding in resistance breeding programs.

Abstract
Encapsulation technology protects the beneficial microorganisms, which are the sources of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K), with a carrier material and improves the nutrient uptake from the soil. Pseudomonas fluorescens, gram-negative bacteria, was selected as the microorganism for encapsulation. A chitosan carrier (3 %), a polysaccharide, was chosen for the encapsulation of the bacterial strain to use as biofertilizers by standardization with two carriers, sodium alginate and chitosan. P. fluorescens encapsulated with chitosan showed a higher shelf life than sodium alginate. The shelf life of the encapsulated culture (7 × 1010 CFU/mL) was maintained for ten months. Studies were performed with the encapsulated P. fluorescens to analyze its nature and characteristics. The pot and field studies were conducted with the encapsulated P. fluorescens for the tomato crop. The difference between the treated and control plants was observed based on biometric parameters like shoot length and root length, fruit weight, and number of branches and fruits per plant. This study reveals that encapsulated P. fluorescens improved the yield of the crops. In addition, soil health and fertility were also enhanced. Thus, encapsulated P. fluorescens could be a superior solution for promoting soil health and crop productivity for sustainable agriculture.

Abstract
An epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) blend with chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) was prepared using a two-roll mill at 130 °C. CHG was added at concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 10% (w/w) as an antimicrobial additive. The ENR blend with 10% (w/w) CHG showed the best tensile strength, elastic recovery, and Shore A hardness. The ENR/CHG blend exhibited a smooth fracture surface. The appearance of a new peak in the Fourier transform infrared spectrum confirmed that the amino groups of CHG reacted with the epoxy groups of ENR. The ENR with 10% CHG exhibited an inhibition zone against Staphylococcus aureus. The proposed blending improved the mechanical properties, elasticity, morphology, and antimicrobial properties of the ENR.

Abstract
The subject of this review is to discuss some aspects related to the use of biopolymeric matrices as carriers for plant-growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) in agricultural systems as a possible technological solution for the establishment of agricultural production practices that result in fewer adverse impacts on the environment, reporting some promising and interesting results on the topic. Results from the encapsulation of different PGPB on alginate, starch, chitosan, and gelatin matrices are discussed, systematizing some advances made in this area of knowledge in recent years. Encapsulation of these bacteria has been shown to be an effective method for protecting them from unsuitable environments, and these new products that can act as biofertilizers and biopesticides play an important role in the establishment of a sustainable and modern agriculture. These new products are technological solutions for replacing deleterious chemical fertilizers and pesticides, maintaining soil fertility and stability, and improving crop productivity and food security. Finally, in the near future, scale-up studies will have to provide new information about the large-scale production of these materials as well as their application in the field under different biotic and abiotic stress conditions.
