However, little was known about whether the GJ-7 strain could produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that were effective in biocontrol against M. hapla. In this study, we evaluated the nematicidal activity of VOCs produced by the fermentation of GJ-7 in three-compartment Petri dishes. The results revealed that the mortality rates of M. hapla J2s were 85% at 24 h and 97.1% at 48 h after treatment with the VOCs produced during GJ-7 fermentation. Subsequently, the VOCs produced by the GJ-7 strain were identified through solid-phase micro-extraction gas chromatography mass spectrometry (SPME-GC\/MS). Six characteristic VOCs from the GJ-7 strain fermentation broth were identified, including 3-methyl-1-butanol, 3-methyl-2-pentanone, 5-methyl-2-hexanone, 2-heptanone, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, and 6-methyl-2-heptanone. The in vitro experimental results from 24-well culture plates showed that the six volatiles had direct-contact nematicidal activity against M. hapla J2s and inhibition activity against egg hatching. In addition, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2-heptanone showed significant fumigation effects on M. hapla J2s and eggs. Furthermore, all six of the VOCs repelled M. hapla J2 juveniles in 2% water agar Petri plates. The above data suggested that the VOCs of B. velezensis GJ-7 acted against M. hapla through multiple prevention and control modes (including direct-contact nematicidal activity, fumigant activity, and repellent activity), and therefore could be considered as potential biocontrol agents against root-knot nematodes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules28073182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,4]],"date-time":"2023-04-04T02:03:00Z","timestamp":1680573780000},"page":"3182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Volatile Organic Compounds of Bacillus velezensis GJ-7 against Meloidogyne hapla through Multiple Prevention and Control Modes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Wentao","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yuanling","family":"Zeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xirui","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhuhua","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liwei","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youyong","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiahong","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Agricultural Biodiversity and Pest Control, College of Plant Protection, Yunnan Agricultural University, Kunming 650201, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Forest Resources Conservation and Utilization in the Southwest Mountains of China Ministry of Education, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"135","article-title":"Incidence and reproduction of Meloidogyne incognita on vegetable crop genotypes","volume":"42","author":"Anwar","year":"2010","journal-title":"Pak.
