Popis: | Botryosphaeria dothidea is one of the most important diseases which can cause poplar canker. In our previous study, the endophytic Bacillus subtilis N6-34 screened from poplar tissue was found to be an antagonistic strain against B. dothidea. In order to ascertain the colonization rule of B. subtilis N6-34 in poplar plants, colonization of B. subtilis N6-34 labeled with a green fluorescent protein (GFP) was investigated in poplar plants and the rhizosphere soil. To confirm the inhibitory effect of the strain N6-34 on pathogenic fungi, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR experiment with Fusarium oxysporum as the target strain was carried out. Firstly, a plasmid (pHT01-P43GFPmut3a) containing gfp gene was successfully transformed into wild B. subtilis N6-34, which has the similar characteristics with the strain N6-34 in cell growth and antifungal activity. The poplar pot experiments were carried out to examine the colonization rules and colonization quantity in poplar plants and rhizosphere soil. Observation with a confocal laser scanning microscope showed that GFP-labeled B. subtilis N6-34 (N6-34-GFP) could colonize in primary root, lateral root and adventitious root. With the extension of inoculation time, the colonization quantity of N6-34-GFP in the rhizosphere soil and poplar plants showed a trend of first increasing, then stabilizing for a period of time and then decreasing. The real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR result showed a gradual decrease in the number of F. oxysporum with increasing inoculation time. Therefore, N6-34-GFP exhibited colonization in the rhizosphere soil and different parts of poplar plants. In addition, the strain N6-34 could inhibit the growth of pathogenic fungi. The ability of B. subtilis N6-34 to colonize in the rhizosphere soil and poplar plants and to inhibit fungal growth in vitro suggest a potential application of this strain as a biological control agent. |
