Leaf spots and root rots are major fungal diseases in Camptotheca acuminata that limit cultivation of the plant for camptothecin (CPT), a promising anticancer and antiviral alkaloid. Bioassays showed that pure CPT and flavonoids (trifolin and hyperoside) isolated from Camptotheca effectively control fungal pathogens in vitro, including Alternaria alternata, Epicoccum nigrum, Pestalotia guepinii...

Nine different Fusarium species were isolated from Acacia koa seeds, seedpods, seedling stem and root tissues, rhizosphere soil and soil surrounding roots of diseased trees. Fusarium oxysporum, the cause of koa dieback and wilt, was not isolated from seeds or seedpods but was found most commonly on roots and soil near diseased koa seedlings. Fusarium subglutinans was the most common species iso...

Endofitne gljive žive unutar biljaka ne uzrokujući očite simptome bolesti. Korovi koji rastu u blizini poljoprivrednih polja mogu poslužiti kao alternativni domaćin ovih gljiva. Izolirali smo endofitne iz 6 vrsta korova, uobičajenih za istočnu Hrvatsku te bez očitih simptoma bolesti: Abutilon theophrasti, Amaranthus retroflexus, Ambrosia arthemisiifolia, Chenopodium album, Sorghum halepense i X...

The antifungal activity of secondary lichen metabolites extracted by means acetone and ethanol from Cetraria islandica, Cladonia mitis, C. rangiferina, Pseudevernia furfuracea Usnea dasopoga on the pathogenic fungi Fusarium oxysporum F. avenacuem was examined. compounds tested after their mixture with PDA medium before solidification. most active extracts inhibiting growth fungal mycelia contai...

A compound very similar to the mycotoxin citrinin was observed on thin-layer chromatographic plates during the screening analysis of grain extracts. This compound was produced by 22 of the tested Fusarium avenaceum (Corda ex Fries) Sacc. strains isolated from wheat, triticale, barley, corn, and potatoes. A chemical test confirmed the presence of an unknown compound, which was given the prelimin...
