[Objective] To explore the control effects of Streptomyces TOR3209 and its volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on tomato Fusarium wilt and mine the differentially expressed genes related to disease resistance, thus providing effective strategies for the development of environmentally friendly biofungicides. [Methods] Strain TOR3209 suspensions of different concentrations (1.0×101, 1.0×103, 1.0×105, and 1.0×107 CFU/mL) were co-cultured with tomato seedlings, and Fusarium equiseti was inoculated on the seedlings. The disease severity was graded. The co-culture experiment of VOCs from strain TOR3209 with tomato seedlings was conducted in a micro-greenhouse to evaluate the effect of VOCs on tomato seedlings infected by F. equiseti. Transcriptomic analysis was conducted on tomato seedlings with significant disease resistance to mine the differentially expressed genes induced by VOCs, which were then verified by RT-qPCR. [Results] The suspensions of strain TOR3209 at different concentrations all had control effects on tomato Fusarium wilt. Among them, the 1.0×107 CFU/mL suspension had the best control effect (P<0.01). The biocontrol effects of different quantities of small dishes cultured with strain TOR3209 on tomato Fusarium wilt were significantly different from that of the control group. The group of 30 small dishes showed the best control effect (P<0.01). The transcriptomic analysis showed that the expression levels of disease-resistance genes encoding CXE17, LRR-RLK, F-box, TIP1-1 Aquaporin, and Peroxidase were upregulated. Fluorescence quantitative analysis indicated that co-culture of VOCs from the strain with tomato seedlings upregulated the expression levels of disease-resistance genes, indicating that the transcriptomic sequencing results were reliable. [Conclusion] The VOCs of strain TOR3209 effectively prevent and control tomato Fusarium wilt caused by F. equiseti infection by inducing the upregulated expression of disease-resistance genes in tomato seedlings. The findings lay a theoretical foundation for the research and development of biofungicides for the prevention and control of Fusarium wilt.
