    Strain 47M-1 of Penicillium bilaiae showed significant inhibitory effect on a variety of sesame pathogenic fungi. In order to analyze the inhibitiory active substances produced by this strain, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect the metabolites of strain cultured for 48 h, 96 h and 144 h. Then, classification of up-regulated differential metabolites in the HMDB database and enrichment of KEGG metabolic pathways were analyzed in order to identify the active metabolites. A total of 105 up-regulated differential metabolites were detected, which were mainly enriched in the superclasses of phenylpropanoids and polyketides. The enrichment analysis of the KEGG metabolic pathways showed that the up-regulated differential metabolites were mainly enriched in metabolic pathways, biosynthesis of cofactors, purine metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids and ABC transporters. The inhibitiory activities of some up-regulated differential metabolites were verified using medicated plate method. These compounds naringenin, protocatechuic acid, D-(-)-quinic acid, hesperetin, 3-(3-Hydroxyphenyl) propanoic acid, 3, 4-dihydroxyhydrocinnamic acid, 5, 7-dihydroxy-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3, 4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-one, rosmarinic acid, bergapten and eriodictyol all showed excellent inhibition activities against sesame pathogenic fungi. In this study, the major groups and key metabolic pathways of potential inhibition metabolites produced by strain 47M-1 were identified, and the inhibitiory activity of some up-regulated differential metabolites was verified. This study will provide data support for the further development and utilization of strain 47M-1 and the research and development of microbial pesticide.

    Insects have a well-developed and sensitive visual system, and opsin is a basic component of animal vision, and its structure largely determines the sensitivity of visual pigments to light of different wavelengths. The duplication and differentiation of opsin genes are the main mechanisms for the production of new light pigment sensitivity. Throughout the evolution of animals, many instances of opsin gene duplication and loss have occurred, forming the sensitivity of the various animal visual systems we observe today. In recent years, extensive and in-depth research has been carried out on visual proteins. This article describes the types of photoreceptors, the color vision system of insects, the classification of visual proteins, the phenomenon of co-expression of visual proteins, the duplication and deletion of visual protein genes, and the mechanism and research status of the physiological functions of visual proteins.

    Bacillus velezensis Ba-0321, isolated from the rhizosphere soil of healthy tobacco plants, is a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria with strong antifungal activity. It has a good potential in biocontrol application. In the study, the inhibitory effects of strain Ba-0321 sterile filtrate on Fusarium oxysporum and Phytophthora nicotianae were determined by methods of co-culture. The whole genome of strain Ba-0321 was sequenced using the second-generation Illumina and the third-generation Nanopore platform, then analyzed for genome assembly, gene functional annotation, prediction of secondary metabolite synthetic gene clusters. The results showed that the sterile filtrate of strain Ba-0321 has inhibitory effects on both F. oxysporum and P. nicotianae. The culture medium containing 10% sterile filtrate has a higher inhibitory rate on the mycelial growth of the two pathogens, reaching 57.38% and 34.30%, respectively. The results of whole genome sequencing showed that the genome size of strain Ba-0321 was 4099109 bp, including 3897 coding genes, and the sequencing data are available in the GenBank database (accession No. CP101904). There were a large number of genes encoding enzymes, terpene, polyketone metabolic pathways, and genes involved in defense mechanisms have been annotated in the GO, COG and KEGG databases. Using anti-SMASH software, 13 secondary metabolite synthesis gene clusters were predicted encoding antibacterial substances such as Surfactin、Fengycin、difficidin、Bacillaene、Bacillibactin、Macrolactin H、Bacilysin. The existence of biosynthetic gene cluster for antibacterial substances and defence machainsm related genes in Ba-0321 strain genome were verified by PCR amplification and sequencing. The enzyme activity test results showed that the strain has resistant enzyme activities such as protease, chitinase, and cellulase.. This study provides a basis for analyzing the antimicrobial mechanism of strain Ba-0321 and mining antifungal related gene resources at the genomic level, which is of a great significance for research and application of the Ba-0321 strain in future.

    Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) are summarized as the group of microbes capable of carrying out photosynthesis with the employment of Bacteriochlorophyll. Members of PSB are regarded as important components in microbiome from plant surface and soil. Attributed to their extraordinary metabolism versatility, photosynthetic bacteria often play significant roles in processes like plant nutrient uptake, growth and development, as well as stress resistance and establish close relationships with plants and other microorganisms in agroecosystem. This confers PSB a reputation as plant beneficial microorganism. In this article, we mainly focus on the PSB-produced effects on the plant nutrition, growth promotion, stress resistance and disease management. The biological activities carried out by PSB, e.g., nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, heavy metal immobilization, phytohormone and plant growth regulator production, antimicrobial compound synthesis, plant systemic resistance induction, are illustrated. Those activities are recognized as the main resorts to maintain the plant and soil health. In conclusion, as a group of microbes with properties including metabolism versatility, wide distribution, flexibly adaptive to environment, and intimately interactive with plants, photosynthetic bacteria can be exploited as a valuable resource for development of novel multi-functional bio-fertilizer and bio-control agent.

    The application of Bacillus velezensis has been proven to significantly enhance the resistance to soft rot in Amorphophallus konjac, yet its precise biological control mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the effects of B. velezensis BCP6 on the defense pathways of A. konjac in response to P. aroidearum MY11 infection through comparative transcriptome analysis. Differential expression analysis, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and gene set variation analysis (GSVA) revealed that BCP6 application upregulated pathways related to jasmonic acid (JA), reactive oxygen species, and cell wall synthesis, thereby activating the basic defense system of A. konjac. This immune activation facilitated the rapid initiation of defense responses when subjected to subsequent P. aroidearum infection by enhancing the JA-mediated induced systemic resistance (ISR) and SA-dependent systemic acquired resistance (SAR) signaling pathways. Simultaneously, a significant increase in the expression of genes involved in cell wall formation and pathogenesis-related proteins was observed, effectively enhancing resistance to soft rot. Meanwhile, exogenous JA treatment was found to directly stimulate the expression of cell wall-related genes, namely CESA2 and CSI1, while SA significantly induced the expression of SA-dependent defense genes TLP and E13C. The results provided a theoretical basis for biological control and disease-resistant breeding of konjac.

    To reveal the inhibitory mechanism of isooctyl alcohol to Botrytis cinerea, the inhibition effect of isooctyl alcohol on B. cinerea was determined using two-sealed-base-plate method. Mycelial morphology treated with isooctyl alcohol was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The influence of isooctyl alcohol on the extracellular conductivity and the ergosterol synthesis were measured. Response of B. cinerea to isooctyl alcohol was analyzed by RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). The results showed that the inhibition rate of isooctyl alcohol to mycelia was 67.92%. After treatment with isooctyl alcohol, lots of mycelia were deformed and distorted with the increasing of membrane permeability. At 4, 5 and 6 days after isooctyl alcohol treatment, the ergosterol contents in cell membrane decreased to 44.35%, 38.82% and 42.43%, and the protein concentration decreased to 65.70%, 77.93% and 58.57%, respectively. A total of 577 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), including 312 up-regulated genes and 265 down-regulated genes, were obtained by RNA-Seq. Based on functional analysis of clusters of orthologous groups (COG), gene ontology (GO) and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG), DEGs involved in membrane integral components, ergosterol biosynthesis pathway, amino acid metabolism and ribosome biogenesis pathway were significantly down-regulated, indicating that isooctyl alcohol might affect ergosterol content, energy production and ribosome structure, and further play inhibit role in the growth of B. cinerea.

    Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11 can approach and adhere to the hypha of pathogenic fungi and oomycetes through twitching motility. Then OH11 secretes enzymes and secondary metabolites including HSAF (heat-stable antifungal factor), which is a new type of anti-fungal secondary metabolite and a potential resource for new bio-control fungicide, to inhibit pathogen growth. Transcription factor (TF) plays a key role in regulation of gene expression. LysR and GntR TF family regulate motility and pathogenicity in pathogenic bacteria. In this paper, we knocked out encoding genes of 3 LysR TFs (Le1404, Le2114 and Le3293) and 2 GntR TFs (Le1155 and Le1310) to investigate whether they regulate twitching motility and HSAF biosynthesis. ΔLe2114 and ΔLe1155 showed defect in twitching motility; ΔLe1155 produced lower amount of HSAF compared with wild-type. These results indicated Le2114 specifically regulated twitching motility and Le1155 regulated both twitching motility and HSAF biosynthesis.

    Parasitoids are one of the most important groups of natural enemies of insect pests, and have been widely used as biological control agents in the insect pest manegement. They inject some factors such as venom and polydnavirus into their hosts when they lay eggs into hosts to ensure their progeny develop inside or on the hosts by altering host immunity, development and metabolism. In the past thirty years, tremendous works have been done in the field of physiological regulation of host insects by parasitoids worldwide. In this review, we summarize the related progress in China based on published papers.
