Potato common scab mainly caused by Streptomyces scabies leads to the symptoms of raised and pitted corky lesions on the surface of potato tubers, damaging the potato appearance and affects the economic value of potatoes. Since it is an important disease in the field, there have been no recommended chemicals or biocontrol agents to manage the disease. Because of the unstable control efficiency of biocontrol agents in the field, the main purpose of this research is to combine chemicals with the biocontrol agent B. amyloliquefaciens Ba01 (Ba01) to control potato common scab and improve control efficacy. Meanwhile, the chemical's influence of important gene expression in Ba01 is investigated. The disk diffusion test and shake flask assay were used at first, and the results revealed that Ba01 was more tolerant to metiram and chlorothalonil than S. scabies PS07 (PS07) which might be due to the presence of endospores in Ba01. By adopting the disk diffusion and potato tuber slice assay, metiram 250, 125 ppm or chlorothalonil 200, 100 ppm possessed the potential efficacy in combination with Ba01 which were conducted 1 day before or after PS07 inoculation and retained better inhibitory effects on S. scabies PS07. Neither metiram nor chlorothalonil significantly affected the expression of surfactin producing gene srfAD and genes involved in nitrogen metabolism (tnrA、glnR、codY) in Ba01. We anticipate completing pot assay and field trial in the future and providing farmers an appropriate combination method in managing potato common scab. |
