摘要： Oomycetes are devastating plant pathogens causing major crop losses, with spores as key infection sources. Inhibiting asexual reproduction, especially sporangium formation and spore release, is crucial for disease prevention. Zn2+ has shown potential in inhibiting oomycete reproduction, but excessive concentrations can cause cytotoxicity and environmental risks. To address this, we used polydopamine (PDA) to complex Zn2+ and form a PDA@Zn2+ coating on cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) through hydrogen bonding. This ionic nanopesticide (CNC@PDA@Zn2+) enhances effectiveness against oomycetes while reducing dosage and improving biosafety. Bioexperimental results indicate that CNC@PDA@Zn2+ significantly inhibits sporangium formation and spore release from Phytophthora capsici (P. capsici) by suppressing the expression of key sporulation genes (PcATP4, cdc, and G-protein), disrupting spore cell membranes, and altering organelle structures. In vivo, it reduces P. capsici infection on pepper leaves, even in the presence of mycelium. This study highlights CNC@PDA@Zn2+ as a promising biobased nanomaterial for sustainable crop protection.
