Microbiol Res 2024; 280:127569. [PMID: 38103466 DOI: 10.1016/j.micres.2023.127569] [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: 10/14/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/19/2023]
Abstract
Crown gall disease caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens is considered to be the main bacterial threat of stone fruit plants in Mediterranean countries. In a previous study, Bacillus velezensis strain 32a was isolated from Tunisian rhizosphere soil and revealed high antagonistic potential against A. tumefaciens strains. In order to better characterize the antagonistic activity of this strain against this important plant pathogen, the production of secondary metabolites was analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The results revealed the production of different compounds identified as surfactins, fengycins, iturins and bacillibactin belonging to the lipopeptide group, three polyketides (macrolactins, oxydifficidin and bacillaenes), bacilysin and its chlorinated derivative; chlorotetaine. The involvement of lipopeptides in this antagonistic activity was ruled out by performing agar and broth dilution tests with pure molecules. Thus, the construction of B. velezensis 32a mutants defective in polyketides and bacilysin biosynthesis and their antagonistic activity was performed and compared to a set of derivative mutants of a comparable strain, B. velezensis GA1. The defective difficidin mutants (△dfnA and △dfnD) were unable to inhibit the growth of A. tumefaciens, indicating the high-level contribution of difficidin in the antagonism process. While the macrolactin deficient mutant (∆mlnA) slightly decreased the activity, suggesting a synergetic effect with difficidin. Remarkably, the mutant △dhbC only deficient in bacillibactin production showed significant reduction in its capacity to inhibit the growth of Agrobacterium.Taken collectively, our results showed the strong synergetic effect of difficidin and macrolactins and the significant implication of siderophore to manage crown gall disease.

[PMID: 37524889 DOI: 10.1007/s00425-023-04209-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Plant and the soil-associated microbiome is important for imparting bacterial wilt disease tolerance in plants. Plants are versatile organisms that are endowed with the capacity to withstand various biotic and abiotic stresses despite having no locomotory abilities. Being the agent for bacterial wilt (BW) disease, Ralstonia solanacearum (RS) colonizes the xylem vessels and limits the water supply to various plant parts, thereby causing wilting. The havoc caused by RS leads to heavy losses in crop productivity around the world, for which a sustainable mitigation strategy is urgently needed. As several factors can influence plant-microbe interactions, comprehensive understanding of plant and soil-associated microbiome under the influence of RS and various environmental/edaphic conditions is important to control this pathogen. This review mainly focuses on microbiome dynamics associated with BW disease and also provide update on microbial/non-microbial approaches employed to control BW disease in crop plants.

Molecular mechanism of plant elicitor daphnetin-carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles against Ralstonia solanacearum by activating plant system resistance. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 241:124580. [PMID: 37100321 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2022] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 04/20/2023] [Indexed: 04/28/2023]
Abstract
The exploration of biopolymer-based materials to avoid hazardous chemicals in agriculture has gained enormous importance for sustainable crop protection. Due to its good biocompatibility and water solubility, carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) has been widely applied as a pesticide carrier biomaterial. However, the mechanism by which carboxymethyl chitosan-grafted natural product nanoparticles induce tobacco systemic resistance against bacterial wilt remains largely unknown. In this study, water-soluble CMCS-grafted daphnetin (DA) nanoparticles (DA@CMCS-NPs) were successfully synthesized, characterized, and assessed for the first time. The grafting rate of DA in CMCS was 10.05 %, and the water solubility was increased. In addition, DA@CMCS-NPs significantly increased the activities of CAT, PPO and SOD defense enzymes, activated the expression of PR1 and NPR1, and suppressed the expression of JAZ3. DA@CMCS-NPs could induce immune responses against R. solanacearum in tobacco, including increases in defense enzymes and overexpression of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. The application of DA@CMCS-NPs effectively suppressed the development of tobacco bacterial wilt in pot experiments, and the control efficiency was as high as 74.23 %, 67.80 %, 61.67 % at 8, 10, and 12 days after inoculation. Additionally, DA@CMCS-NPs has excellent biosafety. Therefore, this study highlighted the application of DA@CMCS-NPs in manipulating tobacco to generate defense responses against R. solanacearum, which can be attributed to systemic resistance.
