Abstract:

The study aims to search and develop environment-friendly and effective Chinese herbal medicine resources to inhibit plant pathogenic fungi, and to provide a research basis for the development of plant-derived fungicides. In this study, the fungicidal activity of 16 ethanol extracts from Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al., Phellodendron amurense Rupr., Forsythia suspense (Thunb.)Vahl, and Euphorbia humifusa Willd. ex Schltdl. were determined, and the effects of petroleum ether extract of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al., which had the best effect on mycelial growth inhibition, on the spore germination and mycelial morphology of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum. and Alternaria solani (Ell.et Mart.) Jones et Grout. fungus were observed. The results showed that the petroleum ether extract of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al., ethyl acetate extract of Forsythia suspense (Thunb.) Vahl and n-butanol extract of Phellodendron amurense Rupr. had good inhibitory activities on the mycelial growth of the two pathogens. Among them, the intermediate inhibitory concentration (IC50) of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al. petroleum ether extract on the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum. and Alternaria solani (Ell.et Mart.) Jones et Grout. was 3.68 mg/mL and 5.82 mg/mL, respectively; Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al. petroleum ether extract also inhibited the spore germination of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cucumerinum with an IC50 of 11.29 mg/mL, and caused abnormal mycelial morphology at the IC50 concentration of mycelial growth. The petroleum ether extract of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort. ex S.H. Qiu & al. can be used as a new source of plant-derived inhibition agent for further study.
