The research evaluated the use of silica nanoparticles in controlling postharvest decay of ginger, finding that SiNPs can effectively reduce fungal disease through activating antioxidant enzyme activity and enhancing the expression of phenylpropanoid pathway-related genes.
Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) offer an ecofriendly and environmentally safe alternative for plant disease management. However, the mechanisms of SiNPs-induced disease resistance are largely unknown. This research evaluated the application of SiNPs in controlling the postharvest decay of ginger rhizomes inoculated with Fusarium solani. In vitro study showed that SiNP had little inhibitory effect on mycelial growth and spore germination of F. solani and did not significantly change mycelium's MDA content and SDH activity. In vivo analysis indicated that SiNPs decreased the degree of decay around the wounds and decreased the accumulation of H2O2 after long-term pathogenic infection through potentiating the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, APX, PPO, and CAT. SiNP150 increased the CHI, PAL, and GLU activity at the onset of the experiment. Moreover, SiNP150 treatment increased total phenolics contents by 1.3, 1.5, and 1.2-times after 3, 5, and 7 days of treatment, and increased total flavonoids content throughout the experiment by 9.3%, 62.4%, 26.9%, 12.8%, and 60.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the expression of selected phenylpropanoid pathway-related genes was generally enhanced by SiNPs when subjected to F. solani inoculation. Together, SiNPs can effectively reduce the fungal disease of ginger rhizome through both physical and biochemical defense mechanisms.
