Suárez-Jiménez, G.M., Cortez-Rocha, M.O., Rosas-Burgos, E.C., Burgos-Hernández, A., Plascencia-Jatomea, M., and Cinco-Moroyoqui, F.J. 2007. Antifungal activity of plant methanolic extracts against Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenb. and fumonisin B1 production. Revista Mexicana de Fitopatología 25:134-142. Abstract. The aim of this work was to determine the inhibitory effect of methanolic extracts of Ambrosia confertiflora, Azadirachta indica, Baccharis glutinosa, and Larrea tridentata on spore germination and mycelial growth of Fusarium verticillioides. The spore germination percentage, radial growth extension, and biomass production were evaluated on potato-dextrose-agar (PDA) amended with 5.6, 11.0, 14.0, and 16.7% (v/v) of the extracts at 25°C. PDA medium with or without methanol was used as a control. Results showed that extracts of B. glutinosa and L. tridentata had the highest inhibitory effect (P < 0.05) on spore germination (> 92%), radial growth extension (> 90%), and biomass production (> 95%) at 100, 336, and 336 h after inoculation, respectively. On the other hand, extracts from A. confertiflora and A. indica were not significantly different (P > 0.05) from the control. These results indicate that the extracts of B. glutinosa and L. tridentata might be natural and effective alternatives for control of F. verticillioides during its different growth phases, spores germination, and mycelial growth.

The investigation was aimed to evaluate the antifungal and antifumonisin activities of budmunchiamine A and pithecolobine against Fusarium verticillioides. The budmunchiamine A was isolated from Albizia amara and pithecolobine from Albizia saman. The results demonstrated that both budmunchiamine A and pithecolobine significantly inhibited the growth and fumonisin B1 production by F. verticillio...

Fusarium verticillioides (F. verticillioides) is not only a primary pathogen of maize, but also can causedisease in other crops such as sorghum. Pathogenicity is related to mycotoxin production such as fumonisin.In the present study, 24 isolates of F. verticillioides, which were previously identified by phenotype basedmethods, were re-identified using restriction fragment length polymorphism (R...

Antifungal activity of rhamnolipids (RLs) has been widely studied against many plant pathogenic fungi, but not against Fusarium verticillioides, a major pathogen of maize (Zea mays L.). F. verticillioides causes stalk and ear rot of maize or asymptomatically colonizes the plant and ears resulting in moderate to heavy crop loss throughout the world. F. verticillioides produces fumonisin mycotoxi...
