摘要
In agriculture, loss of crop yield to pathogen damage seriously threatens efforts to achieve global food security. In the present work, "organic" elemental sulfur nanoparticles (SNPs) were investigated for management of the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici on tomatoes. Foliar application and seed treatment with SNPs (30-100 mg/L, 30 and 100 nm) suppressed pathogen infection in tomatoes, in a concentration- and size-dependent fashion in a greenhouse experiment. Foliar application with 1 mg/plant of 30 nm SNPs (30-SNPs) exhibited the best performance for disease suppression, significantly decreasing disease incidence by 47.6% and increasing tomato shoot biomass by 55.6% after 10 weeks application. Importantly, the disease control efficacy with 30-SNPs was 1.43-fold greater than the commercially available fungicide hymexazol. Mechanistically, 30-SNPs activated the salicylic acid-dependent systemic acquired resistance pathway in tomato shoots and roots, with subsequent upregulation of the expression of pathogenesis-related and antioxidase-related genes (upregulated by 11-352%) and enhancement of the activity and content of disease-related biomolecules (enhanced by 5-49%). In addition, transmission electron microscopy imaging shows that SNPs were distributed in the tomato stem and directly inactivated in vivo pathogens. The oxidative stress in tomato shoots and roots, the root plasma membrane damage, and the growth of the pathogen in stem were all significantly decreased by SNPs. The findings highlight the significant potential of SNPs as an eco-friendly and sustainable crop protection strategy.
