In silico molecular docking evaluation reveals high potencies of some natural antifungal metabolites on melanin biosynthesis and appressoria formation enzymes in Magnaporthe oryzae
Abstract:Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most notorious fungal pathogens that causes blast disease in cereals and results in enormous loss of grain production. Many chemical fungicides are being used to control the pathogen but none of them are effective against blast disease. Thus, there is a demand to discover potential and safe natural biofungicides to manage blast disease successfully. To find out effective biofungicides, we performed in silico molecular docking analysis of some natural compounds targeting four en… Show more
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.
