摘要: The burgeoning demand for sustainable pest control has driven the integration of nanotechnology with biocontrol agents. This study explores the use of graphene oxide (GO) as a nanocarrier to enhance the efficacy of Beauveria bassiana (Bb) against Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer, ACB), while concurrently enhancing the maize growth. GO-Bb nanocomposite at a concentration ratio of 4:1 demonstrated remarkable improvements in the thermal stability and ultraviolet resilience of Bb. At a concentration of 20 μg/mL, 61.4% spore germination rate was observed at 40 °C. Furthermore, the 37.2% of inactivation rate of Bb spores was recorded which was significantly higher than the Bb spores protected with 20 μg/mL GO (25.2 and 24.6%) following exposure to ultraviolet radiation for 4 and 6 h, respectively. The colonization rate of Bb in maize increased to 100% at 14- and 83.33% at 21 days after emergence. Field experiments revealed that GO-Bb nanocomposite significantly reduced the ACB damage on maize plants 28 days after germination. Uptake of the GO-Bb nanocomposite activated phytohormone signaling pathways and boosted insect-resistance. Weighted gene coexpression network analysis of DEG revealed the upregulation of an abscisic acid-responsive gene, ABR1, following GO-Bb treatment at 12 h post ACB infestation. ACB damage over 24 h can lead to higher concentrations of DIMBOA-Glc, HDMBOA-Glc, MBOA, HM2BOA-Glc, and DIM2BOA-Glc in the GO-Bb treatment than CK and Bb. Additionally, the GO-Bb treatment significantly upregulated the gene expression of BX10, a marker gene associated with BX-regulated defense, even in the absence of ACB damage. These findings underscore the dual benefits of GO-Bb nanocomposite. It has the capability to integrate pest management with the promotion of plant growth synergistically. By enhancing Bb's pathogenicity and activating maize's defense pathways, it offers a sustainable alternative for integrated pest management. Future research should explore its extensive applications within crop protection and sustainable agriculture.
