    Abstract:
    To improve the application of endophyte Bacillus velezensis BY6 from the xylem of poplar, the effect of BY6 on the growth of diseased Populus davidiana × Populus. alba var. pyramidalis Louche (Pdpap poplar) seedlings and the biological control effect on the pathogen Armillaria solidipes were tested using a plant split-root experiment. After applying BY6 to the roots of diseased Pdpap poplar seedlings, the results show that plant growth indicators (dry mass, fresh mass, and plant height) were significantly increased (p < 0.05), and genes related to auxin hormone signal transcription were activated. BY6 indicated a surprising control effect after the inoculation of diseased Pdpap poplar seedlings. Compared to the infected control group, the treated disease index of the diseased Pdpap poplar seedlings in the treatment group were reduced by 49.53% on the 20th day. The relative staining areas of diaminobenzidine (DAB) and Trypan blue decreased by 3.37 and 7.31 times, respectively. The physiological indicators (soluble sugar and protein) and oxidase indicators were significantly increased (p < 0.05). The expression levels of defense genes related to salicylic acid (SA) and jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathways were significantly increased (p < 0.05). Amazingly, the results indicate that BY6 simultaneously activates induced systemic resistance (ISR) and systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in diseased Pdpap poplar seedlings and promotes growth. The results indicate that BY6 is a promising candidate for developing forest tree biofertilizers and biopesticides.
