Abstract:

To clarify the taxonomic category and related biological functions of Bacillus sp. strain HZ179, morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as 16S rDNA and gyrB sequence analysis were conducted. Effects of strain HZ179 on the growth index, defense enzyme activity, and tannin content of pepper seedlings were determined through pot experiments; and the antibacterial activity on symbiont of Aphis gossypii was evaluated by diagnostic PCR method. The results indicated that strain HZ179 belonged to Bacillus velezensis. The plant height, stem diameter, dry weight, root to shoot ratio, and seedling strength index of seedlings irrigated with 100 times diluted HZ179 powder increased by 44.19%, 15.70%, 22.47%, 16.18%, and 16.71% respectively, compared with the control. And the activities of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), and the content of tannin in leaves were significantly enhanced and maintained at a high level for 14 days. The infection species and infection rates of symbiont in Aphis gossypii in the HZ179 treatment group were lower than those in the control group. B. velezensis strain HZ179 could promote the growth of pepper seedlings, induce systemic resistance, and inhibite symbiont of Aphis gossypii.

Key words: Bacillus velezensis, Capsicum annuum L., growth promotion, systemic resistance induction, symbiont
