“…Low MI values signalize the decrease in the growth and development [11,19] and high MI values suggest uncontrolled cell division process, which may lead disordered cell proliferation and tumor development. MI decrease was observed in a study performed with MI = number of cells in division × 100 total of cells analyzed phytochemicals presented on fruit of Z. limonella Alston [20], similar to our study. On the other hand, Aguiar et al [21] observed an increase in the MI in a study with phytochemicals produced by mycorrhizal fungus Trichoderma sp., which suggests that theses metabolites may promote root tissue growth of the plants associated with fungus.…”

Abstract:Invasive alien species are a global threat to biodiversity that affects protected areas around the world. The occupation of new environments by these plants is a problem to be solved and it is essential to investigate all the aspects that allow this successful to find solutions to this question, such as its mutagenic effects. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the mutagenic effect of leaves extracts of Acacia mangium Willd, Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam and Eriobothrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl through Allium cepa bioassay. For this, A. cepa seeds were submitted to continuous and discontinuous (acute and chronic) treatments in medium with water (negative control) or four concentration of each extract (1, 5, 10 and 50 mg/mL). The mitotic index was affected at all concentrations of three extracts tested in all treatments, continuous and discontinuous. Aneugenic effects were not related to any treatment tested. E. japonica extract induced clastogenic effects at 1, 5 and 10 mg/mL in continuous treatment, 5 and 10 mg/mL in acute discontinuous treatment and at 10 mg/mL in chronic discontinuous treatment. Clastogenic effect was also observed at 10 mg/mL of A. heterophyllus extract in continuous and acute discontinuous treatments.

“…Further work done by Charoenying et al [29] on the ethyl acetate extract from the fruit of Z. limonella have resulted in the isolation of xanthoxyline (2-hydroxy-4,6 dimethoxy acetophenone) (12) as phenolic compound (Fig 5). The structure of this compound was determined by 1 H, 13 C NMR spectroscopy, and by the comparison of the spectral data with the data reported in the literature.…”

“…There are a number of allelochemicals that have been explored from natural resources since the term allelopathy was coined [ 1 , 8 , 10 ]. In our research group, for example, we isolated xanthoxyline ( C ) from Zanthoxylum limonella Alston fruit which inhibited the seed germination and seedling growth of Chinese amaranth and Barnyard grass [ 11 ]. In addition, in 2012 [ 12 , 13 ] we also investigated herbicidal activities of Aglaia odorata L. on Echinochloa crus-galli and then successively isolated an active bisamide allelochemical, (±)-odorine ( G ) ( Figure 1 ).…”

“…In order to understand the allelopathic effect of combined materials and to receive a more reactive natural herbicide, binary mixtures of seven natural molecules (containing a variety of functional groups), namely R -(+)-limonene ( A ) [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], vanillin ( B ) [ 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 ], xanthoxyline ( C ) [ 11 ], vanillinic acid ( D ) [ 28 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 ], linoleic acid ( E ) [ 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ], methyl linoleate ( F ) [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ], and (±)-odorine ( G ) [ 12 , 13 ] ( Figure 1 ), were investigated using Chinese amaranth ( Amaranthus tricolor L.) as the test plant and Tween ® 80 as a surfactant. Chinese amaranth was chosen as a representative dicot plant because it has a high percentage of germination.…”

Seven allelochemicals, namely R-(+)-limonene (A), vanillin (B), xanthoxyline (C), vanillic acid (D), linoleic acid (E), methyl linoleate (F), and (±)-odorine (G), were investigated for their herbicidal activities on Chinese amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.). At 400 μM, xanthoxyline (C) showed the greatest inhibitory activity on seed germination and seedling growth of the tested plant. Both vanillic acid (D) and (±)-odorine (G) inhibited shoot growth, however, apart from xanthoxyline (C), only vanillic acid (D) could inhibit root growth. Interestingly, R-(+)-limonene (A) lightly promoted root length. Other substances had no allelopathic effect on seed germination and seedling growth of the tested plant. To better understand and optimize the inhibitory effects of these natural herbicides, 21 samples of binary mixtures of these seven compounds were tested at 400 μM using 0.25% (v/v) Tween® 80 as a control treatment. The results showed that binary mixtures of R-(+)-limonene:xanthoxyline (A:C), vanillin:xanthoxyline (B:C), and xanthoxyline:linoleic acid (C:E) exhibited strong allelopathic activities on germination and seedling growth of the tested plant, and the level of inhibition was close to the effect of xanthoxyline (C) at 400 µM and was better than the effect of xanthoxyline (C) at 200 µM. The inhibition was hypothesized to be from a synergistic interaction of each pair of alleochemicals. Mole ratios of each pair of allelochemicals ((A:C), (B:C), and (C:E)) were then evaluated, and the best ratios of the binary mixtures A:C, B:C and C:E were found to be 2:8, 2:8, and 4:6 respectively. These binary mixtures significantly inhibited germination and shoot and root growth of Chinese amaranth at low concentrations. The results reported here highlight a synergistic behavior of some allelochemicals which could be applied in the development of potential herbicides.
