Provided are a southern corn leaf blight-resistant Thph2 protein from Trichoderma harzianum, a ZmGLP1-17 protein from Zea mays L., and a method for preparing transgenic Zea mays L. Further provided are a cellobiohydrolase protein Thph2 from Trichoderma harzianum T30, a coding gene for the cellobiohydrolase protein, and use of the cellobiohydrolase protein in inducing a response of a GLP ZmGLP1-17 from Zea mays L. against southern corn leaf blight. Trichoderma harzianum strain OEthph2 overexpressing a Thph2 gene is constructed by a transgenic technique. OEthph2 may induce the expression of the GLP ZmGLP1-17 in roots of Zea mays L. and enhance the resistance of leaves of Zea mays L. to the infection of Cochliobolus heterostrophus. ZmGLP1-17 transgenic Zea mays L. material is constructed. The OEthph2 engineered strain may be combined with the ZmGLP1-17 transgenic Zea mays L. material to synergistically improve a control effect for southern corn leaf blight.

A composition of the natural product lime essential oil and silver nitrate. The use of high-concentration lime essential oil alone has an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli BW25113, but the inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli BW25113 of AgNO3 used along is not significant. By means of combining the natural product lime essential oil with silver nitrate, it is found that the bactericidal effect on Escherichia coli BW25113 is significant, and the synergistic effect of lime essential oil and silver nitrate can reduce the use of high-concentration lime essential oil while ensuring the bactericidal effect. The composition can replace the use of antibiotics while exerting bacteriostatic effects more efficiently. The described effect is also found to be applicable for inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus and drug-resistant Escherichia coli. In addition, a deodorization effect against aqueous ammonia indicates that the combination of lime essential oil and silver nitrate enhances a deodorization effect, the usage amount of the two components is low, it is safe and effective, the raw materials are easily available, and there are relatively good application prospects in the preparation of antibacterial and deodorizing products.
