Description

<p>Cercospora leaf spot (CLS) is caused by Cercospora canescens and is one of the most important diseases of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Cercospora leaf spot may result in economic loss in production areas. The present study investigated the potential of Bacillus velezensis S141 as a biocontrol agent for C. canescens PAK1 growth on culture plates. Cell-free secretions from a dual culture of S141+PAK1 inhibited fungal growth more than those from a single culture of S141. The biocontrol efficiency of S141 against Cercospora leaf spot on mungbean was then evaluated by spraying. The disease severity of Cercospora leaf spot was significantly reduced in plants treated with S141, with a control efficiency of 83% after 2 days of infection. Comparative transcriptomics and qRT-PCR ana­lyses of S141 during C. canescens inhibition were performed to elucidate the antifungal mechanisms underlying its antifungal activity against Cercospora leaf spot. According to the differentially expressed genes, most up-regulated genes involved in the biosynthetic genes encoding enzymatic hydrolases, including protease, β-glucanase, and N-acyl glucosaminase, were detected in strain S141 following its interaction. Moreover, genes related to secondary metabolites (surfactin, bacilysin, and bacillomycin D) were up-regulated. Collectively, these results suggest that S141 exhibited strong antifungal activity against C. canescens due to multiple enzymatic hydrolases and secondary metabolites. Therefore, the present study provides insights into the biological network responsible for the antifungal activity of B. velezensis S141 against C. canescens.</p>
