'Shine Muscat' grapes are economically high-value table grapes, prized for their rose-like fragrance and superior edible quality. Spike-stalk brown spot has recently emerged as a major disease affecting yield and fruit quality in Sichuan Province, yet its causal agents and sustainable management strategies remain poorly understood. In this study, we isolated two causal organisms of spike-stalk brown spot in 'Shine Muscat' grapes from infected rachises and fruits and morphological and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, RPB2, LSU, Alt a 1, GAPDH) identified them as Alternaria tenuissima and A. alternata. Strain LJa5 was isolated from healthy plants and rhizosphere soil, and dual culture screening identified it as highly inhibitory against both Alternaria species (76.03% and 82.42% inhibition). Furthermore, its cell-free supernatant inhibited the two Alternaria strains. Morphological, biochemical and phylogenetic analyses (16S rRNA, gyrA) confirmed LJa5 as Bacillus velezensis. The strain exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity against 14 pathogens (59.24%-81.83% inhibition), produced extracellular hydrolases and possessed motility and biofilm formation capacity. In vitro fruit assays demonstrated that LJa5 suspension at 1.0 & times; 109 CFU/mL achieved control efficacies of 49.96% and 51.15% against diseases caused by A. tenuissima and A. alternata, respectively. This study represents the first report identifying the causal agents of mixed infection responsible for spike-stalk brown spot in 'Shine Muscat' grapes, and demonstrates the potential of B. velezensis LJa5 as a safe and effective biological control agent. These findings provide a foundation for sustainable, environmentally friendly disease management strategies in grape production.
Southern blight, caused by the soil-borne fungus Sclerotium rolfsii (S. rolfsii), poses a significant threat to pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) production, necessitating the development of effective chemical control strategies. This study investigated the physiological responses of pepper plants to S. rolfsii infection and evaluated the efficacy of the fungicides hexaconazole and azoxystrobin. The results demonstrated that hexaconazole, applied at 50 μg·mL-1, provided outstanding protective activity (97.56%). In contrast, azoxystrobin, at a higher concentration of 100 μg·mL-1, exhibited optimal overall control, with 88.62% protective and 49.06% curative activity. Beyond direct pathogen suppression, both fungicides mitigated disease impact by safeguarding host plant growth, promoting root system development, and enhancing defense responses through the induction of key antioxidant enzymes, namely, peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT). Consequently, the application of hexaconazole and azoxystrobin significantly reduced disease progression and protected normal plant growth. These findings provide a scientific basis for effective management of southern blight in pepper and elucidate how fungicides with distinct modes of action can enhance plant resistance by modulating the antioxidant system.
Combined use of eco-friendly insecticides with natural enemies is increasingly being used in pest management. In this study, the combination of eco-friendly insecticides and Orius nagaii (Yasunaga) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), an important predator of the thrips, in controlling Dendrothrips minowai (Priesner) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), a major tea pest, was evaluated in both laboratories and tea plantations. Five commercial insecticides were first screened the toxicity to D. minowai, and their safety to O. nagaii. The results showed mineral oil and Metarhizium anisopliae CQMa421 were toxic against D. minowai, while diafenthiuron, mineral oil and M. anisopliae CQMa421 were relatively safe for O. nagaii. Sublethal bioassay on eggs, nymphs, and adults of O. nagaii showed that mineral oil exposure minimized hatching rate among the 5 insecticides. The adverse effects of diafenthiuron and M. anisopliae CQMa421 on the development and reproduction of O. nagaii were inferior to those of spinetoram and indoxacarb. Both spinetoram and indoxacarb displayed significant acute and sublethal effects on O. nagaii. Field trials unveiled that the combined use of O. nagaii and diafenthiuron was an effective and lasting pest control strategy against D. minowai. The results contribute to an improved D. minowai management coordinated eco-friendly insecticide with natural enemy insects.
Abstract Background: Blueberry leaf spot is one of the most important diseases associated with blueberry production. However, little research has been done on blueberry interactions with leaf spot and blueberry resistance to leaf spot. Methods and Results:In this study, the induced blueberry with BABA was inoculated with the leaf spot pathogen as the experimental group, and blueberry inoculated with the uninduced leaf spot pathogen was used as a control group to construct a transcriptome sequencing library. A total of 11 disease-resistant genes were randomly screened from the transcription library PHI database for qRT-PCR verification, and two disease-resistant genes containing comp126500_c0_seq1and comp126556_c0_seq2 were selected from eight genes with good amplification specificity in order to elucidate the function of blueberry leaf spot resistance genes. Cloning the cDNA sequences of the two genes using qRT-PCR and RACE; analysis of biological information by amino acid sequencing using two disease-resistant protein gene sequences of amino acids to build an evolutionary tree; and genetic compound conservative domains and protein secondary and tertiary structure predictions, revealed the fungus stress resistance related gene function during the early response to blueberry leaf spot. Using agrobacterium mediated transformation of Arabidopsisexpression to understand two gene's defensive roles during leaf spot infection. Conclusions: The results preliminarily proved that comp126500_c0_seq1and comp126556_c0_seq2, which produced in the body of a blueberry by induction of BABA, are related genes with resistance to leaf spot.

To clarify the control effects of Trichoderma hamatum strain MHT1134 on Fusarium wilt in continuous pepper cropping fields and its regulatory effects on soil microecology, the physical and chemical properties, enzyme activities, community structures of soil samples from five field types were analysed. Samples were taken from fields that had been continuously planted for 1, 5, 9 years, and applied the strain MHT1134 for 1 and 2 years. The MHT1134 control effects on pepper wilt after application 1 year and 2 years were 63.03% and 70.21%, respectively. 4 kinds of physical and chemical indexes and 6 kinds of enzyme activities in soil were increased. With the continuous cropping years increased, the microbial abundance and diversity decreasing significantly. The relative abundances of Fusarium, Gibberella increased along with the planting years, but decreased after the MHT11134 application. However, the relative abundances of Trichoderma and Chaetomium significantly increased. Additionally, as the cropping years increased, the soil abundance of Actinobacteria gradually decreased, but it significantly increased from 17.56 to 22.44% after the MHT1134 application. Thus, strain MHT1134 effectively improved the microbial community structure of the soil, and it also positively affected soil quality. A continuous application may improve the control effect.

The stick tea thrip Dendrothrips minowai (Priesner) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a destructive pest in tea plantations in south and southwest China. To control this pest, a non-crop banker plant system was developed using a polyphagous predator Orius strigicollis (Poppius) (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) with the black bean aphid Aphis fabae (Scopoli) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) as an alternative prey and the faba bean Vicia faba as the banker plant to support the predator in targeting the pest. The fitness of A. fabae on tea plants and faba bean was evaluated to determine its host specificity. Moreover, the control efficacy of the banker plant system on D. minowai on tea plants was tested in the laboratory and compared with that of direct release of O. strigicollis. The experiments showed that faba bean was an excellent non-crop host for A. fabae because, while the aphid population increased quickly on faba bean, it could only survive for up to 9 days on tea plants. Compared with direct release of O. strigicollis, lower densities of pest were observed when introducing the banker plant system. Our results indicate that this banker plant system has the potential to be implemented in the field to improve the control of the pest thrips.
南方小花蝽Orius strigicollis作为一种广食性捕食性天敌昆虫,可高效控制蓟马、蚜虫及螨类等多种害虫,极具生防潜能.但目前国内南方小花蝽商业化进程相对滞后,其中未找到适合的饲料来源是主要的限制因素之一.本研究以新鲜麦蛾Sitotroga cerealella卵和紫外线处理的麦蛾卵作为饲养南方小花蝽的替代猎物,以南方小花蝽的天然猎物西花蓟马Frankliniella occidentalis为对照,通过比较其发育历期、存活率及寿命等生物学指标,组建生命表来评价麦蛾卵对南方小花蝽的饲喂效果.结果发现:以新鲜麦蛾卵、紫外处理麦蛾卵和西花蓟马饲喂的南方小花蝽若虫发育历期均无显著性差异,但取食新鲜麦蛾卵的南方小花蝽若虫存活率(60.5%)高于其他两种猎物;同时,饲喂新鲜麦蛾卵的南方小花蝽雌虫寿命(37.3 d)和雄成虫寿命(23.0 d)以及产卵量(74.0粒)均最高,其次是紫外处理麦蛾卵,而西花蓟马最低;饲喂新鲜麦蛾卵的南方小花蝽存活率、净增殖率(47.91)、内禀增长率(0.10)、周限增长率(1.11)和世代平均周期(36.5 d)均大于饲喂紫外处理麦蛾卵和饲喂西花蓟马,且种群加倍时间也以饲喂新鲜麦蛾卵的南方小花蝽最短(6.57 d).本研究结果表明麦蛾卵可作为南方小花蝽饲养的替代猎物,且以新鲜麦蛾卵为最佳.

Pepper wilt, caused byFusarium oxysporum, is an important disease of pepper in many regions of the world. A phosphate solubilisingTrichodermastrain MHT1134 was selected from 76 isolates from the pepper rhizosphere as a potential biological control agent against wilt disease caused byF. oxysporum. The inhibitory rate of MHT1134 againstF. oxysporumwas 81.80%. MHT1134 was identified asTrichoderma hamatumbased on morphological features, ITS rDNA andtef-1 alpha sequences. It showed antagonistic effects against a number of fungal pathogens, includingPhytophthora capsici,Colletotrichum capsici,Verticillium dahliae,Verticillium albo-atrum,Botryosphaeria dothidea,Pyricularia griseaandPhoma lingam.The fungistatic capability of strain MHT1134 was evaluated, and its sterilised and non-sterilised fermentation broths were effectively suppressed pathogen's hyphal growth, with inhibitory effects reaching 50.71% and 74.01%, respectively. Moreover,T. hamatumMHT1134 controlled pepper wilt at a 60.61% efficiency level, and applications significantly increased plant heights, root lengths, fresh and dry weights of pepper in pot experiments. The field experiments showed that strain MHT1134 inhibited pepper Fusarium wilt, with a control effect that was only slightly less than that of the chemical hymexazol, and significantly increased pepper yield. Thus, MHT1134 is proposed as a potential biocontrol fungus and further studies will focus on its biocontrol mechanisms.
