Antifungal Activity of Cheilanthes Grisea Blanford

چکیده
Cheilanthes grisea Blanford, a rare fern of Kumaun hills, is a member of psinopteridaceae family of leptosporangiate group of ferns. Aq. methanolic extract (50%) of this fern was screened for antifungal activity by thin layer autobiochromatographic methods. Chemical investigation of the fern fronds of C. grisea Blanford revealed the presence of a flavonol glycoside, quercetin-3-O-β-glycosyl (1→2) rhamnoside from an antifungal active fraction of n-butanol soluble of aqueous ethanolic extract. Its structure was elucidated by UV, 1HNMR, and hydrolytic methods.

متن کاملChemical Constituents of the Fruiting Bodies of Clitocybe nebularis and Their Antifungal Activity
During a continuing search for antimicrobial substances from Korean native wild mushroom extracts, we found that the methanolic extract of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis exhibited mild antifungal activity against pathogenic fungi. Therefore we evaluated the antifungal substances and other chemical components of the fruiting body of Clitocybe nebularis, which led to the isolation of ne...

متن کاملPathogen-induced production of the antifungal AFP protein from Aspergillus giganteus confers resistance to the blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea in transgenic rice.
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe grisea, is the most important fungal disease of cultivated rice worldwide. We have developed a strategy for creating disease resistance to M. grisea whereby pathogen-induced expression of the afp (antifungal protein) gene from Aspergillus giganteus occurs in transgenic rice plants. Here, we evaluated the activity of the promoters from three maize pathogenesis-r...
متن کاملThe natural product citral can cause significant damage to the hyphal cell walls of Magnaporthe grisea.
In order to find a natural alternative to the synthetic fungicides currently used against the devastating rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea, this study explored the antifungal potential of citral and its mechanism of action. It was found that citral not only inhibited hyphal growth of M. grisea, but also caused a series of marked hyphal morphological and structural alterations. Specifically...
