Popis: | Plant disease seriously threatens the global food security. However, an effective and sustainable control strategy is lacking. In this study, foliar application with 10 mg/L nitrogen doped carbon dots (N-CDs) suppressed bacterial wilt in tomatoes, statistically decreased disease severity by 71.19%, and increased the fresh biomass of tomato shoot by 55.86%. The disease control efficacy with N-CDs was 1.56-fold greater than the pure CDs (P-CDs). Mechanistically, 1) nitrogen doping enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging ability of P-CDs, and then exhibited higher oxidative stress alleviation in tomatoes; 2) N-CDs activated the salicylic acid and jasmonic acid dependent systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in tomatoes, with subsequent inhibition in vivo pathogens growth; 3) N-CDs activated the antioxidative enzyme activity in tomatoes, and then reduced the pathogen induced oxidative stress. Polyacrylic acid modification eliminated the disease control ability of N-CDs because the modification decreased the direct physiochemical process (e.g., ROS scavenging) and indirect resistance activation (e.g., SAR activation) of N-CDs in tomatoes. Metabolomics analysis suggested that N-CDs also significantly promoted the tricarboxylic acid cycle and fatty acid synthesis in tomatoes. The findings demonstrate the important role of N-CDs in promoting disease suppression for sustainable agriculture. |
