摘要： Root knot nematodes are the most devastating root pathogens, causing severe damage and serious economic losses to agriculture worldwide. Octanoic acid has been reported as one of the nematicides, and its mode of action is not fully understood. The main objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of octanoic acid on Meloidogyne incognita by transcriptomic analysis combined with physiological and biochemical assays. In the toxicity assays with octanoic acid, the threshold concentration with nematicidal activity and the maximum concentration to which nematodes could respond were 0.03 mu L/mL and 0.08 mu L/mL respectively. Microscopic observation combined with protein and carbohydrates assays confirmed that the structure of the second-stage juveniles (J2s) was severely disrupted after 72 h of immersion in octanoic acid. Transcriptome analysis has shown that octanoic acid can interfere with the nematode energy metabolism, lifespan and signaling. Although the effects are multifaceted, the findings strongly point to the cuticle, lysosomes, and extracellular regions and spaces as the primary targets for octanoic acid. In addition, nematodes can withstand the negative effects of low concentration of octanoic acid to some extent by up-regulating the defense enzyme system and heterologous metabolic pathways. These findings will help us to explore the nematicidal mechanism of octanoic acid and provide important target genes for the development of new nematicides in the future.
