Abstract

The present disclosure provides use of sativene, and a recombinant biocontrol fungus and a muscardine cadaver and use thereof, belonging to the technical field of genetic engineering. The present disclosure provides use of sativene in insect attraction and/or pest control. The sativene are attractive to insects. A higher concentration of the sativene has a stronger attraction on mosquito and Drosophila larvae; the Drosophila larvae respond to the sativene even at a level as low as 10 −11 g. The sativene also be attractive to Galleria mellonella larvae. The present disclosure further provides a recombinant biocontrol fungus, including a recombinant fungal expression plasmid, where the recombinant fungal expression plasmid is inserted with a pine longifolene synthesis gene. In the present disclosure, the recombinant biocontrol fungus has increased synthetic amounts and volatilized amounts of the longifolene and sativene, resulting in an enhanced attraction to insects.

First claim

1 . A method for attracting insect and/or controlling pest comprising using sativene, the sativene has a structure shown in Formula I;

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the insect comprises one or more of Drosophila, Galleria mellonella , and mosquitoes.

3 . A recombinant biocontrol fungus, comprising a recombinant fungal expression plasmid, wherein the recombinant fungal expression plasmid is inserted with a pine longifolene synthesis gene.

4 . The recombinant biocontrol fungus according to claim 3 , wherein the pine longifolene synthesis gene has a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

5 . The recombinant biocontrol fungus according to claim 3 , wherein an original fungus of the recombinant biocontrol fungus comprises Metarhizium.

6 . A muscardine cadaver, wherein the muscardine cadaver was infected with the recombinant biocontrol fungus according to claim 3 .

7 . A method for attracting insect and/or controlling pest, the method comprising using the recombinant biocontrol fungus according to claim 3 .

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein the insect comprises one or more of Drosophila, Galleria mellonella , and mosquitoes.

9 . A method for preparing sativene, the method comprising using the recombinant biocontrol fungus according to claim 3 , wherein the sativene has a structure shown in formula I;

10 . An insect attractant, wherein an active ingredient of the insect attractant comprises sativene or a recombinant biocontrol fungus or the muscardine cadaver according to claim 6 ; and the sativene has a structure shown in formula I;

11 . The muscardine cadaver according to claim 6 , wherein the pine longifolene synthesis gene has a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1.

12 . The muscardine cadaver according to claim 6 , wherein an original fungus of the recombinant biocontrol fungus comprises Metarhizium.

13 . A method for attracting insect and/or controlling pest, comprising using the muscardine cadaver according to claim 6 .
