Evaluation of the Growth-promoting Effect of Trichoderma harzianum on Tobacco and Its Induced Resistance to Black Shank Disease
To investigate the growth-promoting effects of Trichoderma harzianum on tobacco and its induced resistance mechanisms against tobacco black shank disease caused by Phytophthora nicotianae,5 Trichoderma strains were screened.The results showed that the strain T.harzianum ACCC 32808(TH32808)was demonstrated the strongest inhibition(62.00%)among 5 strains of Trichoderma.The growth-promoting effects of TH32808 on different tobacco varieties and its induced resistance against tobacco black shank disease were assessed.The results showed that,under pot condition,TH32808 exhibited different ability on promoting the growth of different tobacco varieties.Under TH32808 treatment,the fresh weight of Honghuadajinyuan increased by 8.30%,the control efficacy against black shank disease in Honghuadajinyuan was 51.74%.In Honghuadajinyuan and K326,the catalase activity peaked on the 4th day,reaching 1.42 and 2.15 times that of CK,the peroxidase activity peaked on the 2nd day,being 2.49 and 2.29 times that of CK,the superoxide dismutase activity peaked on the 4th day,reaching 1.17 and 1.15 times that of CK,respectively.Moreover,TH32808 could induce resistance against black shank disease,key genes involved in the metabolic pathways of salicylic acid,jasmonic acid and ethylene,such as NPR1,PDF1.2,EFE and NtSGT1,all exhibited an upregulation trend.Above results provided fungal resources and theoretical basis for the biological control and induced resistance research against black shank disease in tobacco.
