辛菌胺作用机制新发现：不仅能″直接杀菌″，还能够让病菌″失去致病能力″
植物细菌性病害严重威胁水稻、果蔬等作物稳产提质。传统化学杀菌剂多依靠直接杀灭病原菌发挥药效，长期高频施用易形成强选择压力，诱导抗性菌株产生，病害防控可持续性不足。辛菌胺是中国拥有自主知识产权的烷基多胺类杀菌剂，具备低残留、环境友好、对非靶标生物安全等优势，已在农业生产中推广应用三十余年，田间至今未分离获得稳定抗性菌株。此前陈雨教授团队已有研究证实，辛菌胺可通过抑制细菌三羧酸循环与氧化磷酸化阻断能量合成、扰乱胞内铁稳态诱发氧化损伤并破坏病原菌DNA，发挥直接抗菌作用。但仅依靠直接抗菌机制，难以解释其低抗性风险背后的作用机制。
