摘要： No effective fungicides are available for the management of Verticillium dahliae, which causes vascular wilt disease. In this study, a star polycation (SPc)-based nanodelivery system was used for the first time to develop a thiophanate-methyl (TM) nanoagent for the management of V. dahliae. SPc spontaneously assembled with TM through hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals forces to decrease the particle size of TM from 834 to 86 nm. Compared to TM alone, the SPc-loaded TM further reduced the colony diameter of V. dahliae to 1.12 and 0.64 cm, and the spore number to 1.13 x 108 and 0.72 x 108 cfu/mL at the concentrations of 3.77 and 4.71 mg/L, respectively. The TM nanoagents disturbed the expression of various crucial genes in V. dahliae, and contributed to preventing plant cell-wall degradation and carbon utilization by V. dahliae, which mainly impaired the infective interaction between pathogens and plants. TM nanoagents remarkably decreased the plant disease index and the fungal biomass in the root compared to TM alone, and its control efficacy was the best (61.20 %) among the various formulations tested in the field. Furthermore, SPc showed negligible acute toxicity toward cotton seeds. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to design a self-assembled nanofungicide that efficiently inhibits V. dahliae growth and protects cotton from the destructive Verticillium wilt.
