Post-infectional Production of Phytoalexin in White Yam (Discorea Rotundata Linn.) Innoculated with Botryodiplodia Theobromae Pat
Four phytoalexins were induced D. rotundata in post-infectionally with B. theobromae. Three of the Phytoalexins were isolated and identified with the aid of ultra-violet mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data as 3,2,5 trihydroxydiphenyl 1 , 2 ethane; 3, 5 dihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane; 1,5...

| 要約: | Four phytoalexins were induced D. rotundata in post-infectionally with B. theobromae. Three of the Phytoalexins were isolated and identified with the aid of ultra-violet mass and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data as 3,2,5 trihydroxydiphenyl 1 , 2 ethane; 3, 5 dihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane; 1,5 dihydroxy-3-methoxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane and an uncharacterised.
Maximum production of the phytoalexins was achieved at 30 hours of incubation. Chloroform: methanol, (96:4 v/v) gave the best separation of the phytoalexins from yam crude extract. Antifungal activities of the phytoalexins against spore germination varied according to fungal species but the pores were more sensitive to 3, 2, 5 trihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane than 3, 5 dihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane and the spores of B. theobromae were least affected.
The ED50 values required to prevent spore germination of the pathogen varied from 45.7 µg/ml 58.9 µg/ml for 3,2, 5 trihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane and 45.6 µg/ml to 81.3 µg/ml ;3,5 dihydroxydiphenyl 1,2 ethane. The ED50 value of the two phytoalexins to prevent germ tube elongation of the yam rot pathogens was highest for B. theobromae (61.07 µg/ml) and least for A.niger (46.77 µg/ml). The compound 3,2, 5 trihydroxydiphenyl 1 ,2 ethane was found to be active against the four bacterial species tested against it even at the low concentration of 10 µg/ml. |
