The present study focused on the nematicidal activities of bio-molecules extracted from mushrooms against M. incognita. The experimental results revealed that the highest hatching inhibition and the juvenile mortality were recorded with the ethyl acetate fraction of cell-free culture (CFC) filtrate of Ganoderma lucidum followed by Lentinus edodes. At 1000 ppm concentration, the bio-active molecules of G. lucidum exhibited the maximum inhibition of egg hatching (92.6%) and juvenile mortality (93.2%) of M. incognita at 72 hours of incubation. GC -MS analysis of G. lucidum revealed the presence of 23 compounds viz. .
Medicinal herbs are the potential sources for antimicrobial compounds against soil-borne pathogens. The present investigation focuses on assessing the efficacy of antifungal activity of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by seven different medicinal herbs in the suppression of F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopercisi, the causal agent of wilt disease in tomato plants. Among the seven samples tested invitro, the blend of VOCs emitted from mint (Mentha spicata) leaves inhibited the mycelial growth of F. o. f.sp. lycopercisi up to 41.88% followed by lemongrass (39.44%) and nochi leaves (34.66%). The important VOCs emitted by mint and lemongrass samples were identified through Headspace -Gas chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrophotometry (HS-GCMS) which revealed the presence of around 25 different compounds with varied functional groups. Among them -(-) carvone obtained from mint leaves had the highest relative abundance (2.08% peak area at 10.25 RT). In addition, geraniol and citronellol were also present with a peak area percentage of 15.85 at 10.37 RT and 5.27 at 9.97 RT, respectively. Pure compounds of carvone, geraniol and citronellol (Sigma Aldrich) along with plant samples were also tested in vitro for comparison on the inhibition of mycelial growth of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopercisi. Among the samples, citronellol was found to be the most effective and suppressed the wilt pathogen up to 100% at 500 ppm, followed by carvone (up to 90% inhibition) in the partition plate method. The results indicated that VOCs produced from mint and lemongrass could be explored with an additive effect for the management of F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopercisi along with other Integrated Disease Management (IDM) practices.
e present study focused on divulging the effect of 15 and 30 days old culture filtrates of Chaetomium globosum on the mycelial growth and toxin production of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. The cell-free culture (CFC) filtrate of C. globosum was inoculated in the liquid medium of F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. The results revealed that mycelial growth was reduced in the CFC filtrate of C. globosum inoculated medium compared to control (pathogen alone). The mycelial dry weight of the F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was 0.864g in fifteen days old CFC filtrate followed by 30 days old CFC filtrate of C. globosum (1.374g) amended medium. Metabolites from the CFC filtrate and control were extracted separately using chloroform followed by ethyl acetate and the extract was subjected to GC-MS analysis. GC-MS analyses showed that methyl ester group was present in 15 days old culture filtrate condensate compared to 30 days old CFC. The compounds are methyl tetradecanoate, octadecanoic acid, methyl ester, and DL-Proline, 5-oxo-, methyl ester. Thirty days old culture filtrate condensate of C. globosum contained more phenol groups like phenol 2,4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl) at 17.62 RT followed by diisooctyl phthalate, 17-pentatriacontene, cholestan-3-ol, 2-methylene-, (3a,5a) and bicycle [4.1.0]heptanes,-3-cyclopropyl,-7-hydroxymethyl,trans. Metabolites of F. o. f. sp. lycopersici were also characterized by GC-MS, which showed very few volatile compounds like methyl tetradecanone , oleic acid, eicosyl ester, methyl stearate, and bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate. These compounds were not detected in co-inoculation of 15 and 30 days old CFC filtrate of C. globosum and F. o. f. sp. lycopersici. The difference in the volatile profile may be due to the effect of the metabolites of C. globosum on F. o. f.sp. lycopersici.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
