Abstract:

To obtain biocontrol Pseudomonas strains with high efficacy against cucumber Corynespora leaf spot,a total of 557 fluorescent strains were isolated from 56 cucumber rhizosphere soil samples collected across China. This was achieved through low-temperature enrichment and selective medium screening,with fluorescence detected under 365 nm UV light. Using the plate confrontation assay,strains antagonistic against Corynespora cassiicola were selected. Through in vivo pot experiments,one strain,designated ZF518,was identified as providing stable and effective control of cucumber Corynespora leaf spot,with an inhibition rate of 65.82% in vitro and a control efficacy of 57.08% in planta. Based on a polyphasic taxonomic approach including morphology,physiological-biochemical characteristics,and multi-gene phylogenetic analysis,strain ZF518 was identified as Pseudomonas koreensis. This strain exhibited direct inhibitory effects against various phytopathogenic fungi in vitro and was capable of producing siderophores. These findings indicate that P. koreensis ZF518 is a promising biocontrol resource for managing cucumber Corynespora leaf spot.
