Antifungal compounds from the root and root exudate of Zea mays.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A maize plant (Zea mays) planted in a test tube was found to inhibit the growth of the soil-borne plant pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melongenae. The antifungal compounds, 6-methoxybenzoxazolinone and 6,7-dimethoxybenzoxazolinone, were isolated from an ethanol extract of Zea mays roots, and (6R)-7,8-dihydro-3-oxo-alpha-ionone and (6R,9R)-7,8-dihydro-3-oxo-alpha-ionol were isolated from the root exudate.

متن کاملHalopriming and Hydropriming Treatments to Overcome Salt and Drought Stress at Germination Stage of Corn (Zea mays L.)
To study the effects of halopriming and hydropriming in overcoming salt and drought stress in corn (Zea mays L.),two experiments were separately conducted at Shahrood University of Technology. Seed treatments consisted ofcontrol (untreated seeds), soaking in distilled water for 32 h (hydropriming), and soaking in 50 mmol solution ofCaCl2 for 16 h (halopriming). Germination and early seedling gr...

Soil salinity and compaction are probably the most prevailed limitations for crop growth and production. Their mitigation and control may be important crop management keys that can ensure yield sustainability and optimum use of land and water. This research was performed to investigate the combined effect of soil salinity and soil compaction on some growth characteristics of corn (Zea mays L.) ...
متن کاملVariation Endogenus and Exogenous of Allelochemical 2,4-dihydroxy-7-metoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3,(4H)-one (DIMBOA) in Root Architecture of Maize (Zea mayz)
The concentrations of hydroxamic acids 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one (DIMBOA), in roots and root exudate of 1to 6days-old maize plants were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The highest concentrations of DIMBOA were found in maize root extracts and exudate when maize roots were 2 weeks old and the maize plant was approximately 15 cm in height. The h...
متن کاملPlant exudates may stabilize or weaken soil depending on species, origin and time
We hypothesized that plant exudates could either gel or disperse soil depending on their chemical characteristics. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Optic) and maize (Zea mays L. cv. Freya) root exudates were collected using an aerated hydroponic method and compared with chia (Salvia hispanica L.) seed exudate, a commonly used root exudate analogue. Sandy loam soil was passed through a 500-μm mesh...
