Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation The strain DHA6 was assigned to Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.
- Observation Five cyclic lipopeptide families were identified in the DHA6 culture filtrate.
- Intervention effect The cyclic lipopeptides significantly inhibited Fon mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect The cyclic lipopeptides significantly inhibited Fon spore germination.
- Mechanism CLPs caused oxidative stress and structural disruption in Fon.
- Intervention effect CLP pretreatment promoted watermelon growth.
- Intervention effect CLP pretreatment suppressed watermelon Fusarium wilt.
- Intervention effect CLP pretreatment activated antioxidant enzymes in watermelon.
- Intervention effect CLP pretreatment triggered salicylic acid and jasmonic acid/ethylene signaling genes in watermelon.
- Mechanism The authors identify CLPs as determinants of DHA6 wilt suppression through antifungal activity and host defense modulation.
