Influência dos metabólitos secundários de Piper divaricatum da região amazônica no controle do Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis causador da fusariose em pimenta do reino

A cultura de pimenta do reino (Piper nigrum L.) é uma das principais atividades agrícolas no estado do Pará e sofre sérios danos ocasionados pela fusariose, doença restrita ao Brasil. O presente trabalho avaliou a atividade antifúngica in vitro de óleos essenciais de espécies de Piper ricos em fenilpropanóides frente a Fusarium solani f. sp. piperis, agente causal da fusariose. A inibição do crescimento micelial pelo método de difusão em Agar na concentração de 5 mg.Ml^-1 foi considerada: baixa para P. aduncum (20,3%) e P. krukoffii (31,4%); moderada para P. callosum (55,7%) e P. marginatum (70,3%) e alta para P. divaricatum (93,3%). Os componentes majoritários identificados por CG-EM foram: dilapiol (92,0%), safrol (78,0%), metileugenol (75,2%) e eugenol (7,9%), apiol (80,0%), Z-isoosmorizol (44,0%) e E-anetol (22,0%), respectivamente. O óleo de P. divaricatum e seus compostos majoritários apresentaram valores CIM de 0,75 mg.mL^-1. A avaliação dos efeitos combinados do eugenol e metileugenol apontou o eugenol como principal responsável pela atividade.

Infecção por Fusarium graminearum e Fusarium verticillioides em sementes de milho

The previous knowledge of the infection process and pathogens behavior, for evaluating the physiological potential of maize seeds, is essential for decision making on the final destination of lots that can endanger sowing. This research was carried out in order to study the minimum period required for maize seeds contamination by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe and Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg, as well as these pathogens influence on seed germination and vigor, by using the cold test. Three maize seeds hybrids, kept in contact with the pathogens for different periods, were evaluated with and without surface disinfection. After determining the most suitable period, new samples were contaminated by F. graminearum and F. verticillioides, under different infection levels, and subjected to germination tests in sand. The cold test was conducted with healthy and contaminated seeds, at different periods, in a cold chamber. The contact of maize seeds with F. graminearum and F. verticillioides for 16 hours was enough to cause infection. F. graminearum and F. verticillioides did not affect the maize seeds germination, however, F. graminearum reduced the vigor of seeds lots.

Purification and biochemical characterization of an alkaline pectin lyase from Fusarium decemcellulare MTCC 2079 suitable for Crotolaria juncea fiber retting

An extracellular pectin lyase secreted by Fusarium decemcellulare MTCC 2079 under solid state fermentation condition has been purified to electrophoretic homogeniety by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, carboxymethyl cellulose and gel filtration (Sephadex G-100) column chromatographies. The purified enzyme showed single protein band corresponding to molecular mass 45 +/- 01 kDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme had maximum activity at pH 9.0 and showed maximum stability in the pH range of 9.0-12.0. The optimum temperature of the purified enzyme was 50 degrees C and it showed maximum stability upto 40 degrees C. The energy of activation for the thermal denaturation (Ea) was 59.06 kJ mol(-1) K-1. The K-m and k(cat) values using citrus pectin as the substrate were 0.125mgml(-1) and 72.9 s(-1) in 100mM sodium carbonate buffer pH 9.0 at 50 degrees C. The biophysical studies on pectin lyase showed that its secondary structure belongs to alpha+beta class of protein with comparatively less of beta-sheets. Purified pectin lyase showed efficient retting of Crotolaria juncea fibers.

Rhizospheric streptomycetes as potential biocontrol agents of Fusarium and Armillaria pine rot and as PGPR for Pinus taeda

Pinus taeda is one of the main timber trees in Brazil, occupying 1.8 million ha with an annual productivity of 25-30 m(3) ha(-1). Another important species is Araucaria angustifolia, belonging to the fragile Rainforest biome, which for decades has been a major source of timber in Brazil. Some diseases that affect the roots and/or the stem of these trees and cause "damping-off" of the seedlings, with economic and environmental losses for the forest sector, are caused by the plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium sp. or Armillaria sp. This research project intended to isolate actinobacteria from the Araucaria rhizosphere, which present an antagonistic effect against these fungi. After the selection of the best pathogen inhibitors, morphologic characteristics, enzyme production, and their effect on the growth of Pinus taeda were studied. The actinobacteria were tested for their antagonistic capacity against Fusarium sp. in Petri plates with PDA as substrate. The inhibition zone was measured after 3, 5, 7, and 10 days. Of all the isolates tested, only two of them maintained inhibition zones up to 4 mm for 10 days. The inhibition of Armillaria sp. was tested in liquid medium and also in Petri dishes through the evaluation of the number of the fungal rhizomorphs in dual culture with the actinobacteria. It was found that all five isolates were able to inhibit the rhizomorph production, with the best performance of the isolate A43, which was capable of inhibiting both fungi, Fusarium and Armillaria. In a greenhouse experiment, the effect of five isolates on the growth of Pinus taeda seedlings was tested. Plant height, stem diameter, root and shoot dry matter were determined. The Streptomyces isolate A43 doubled plant growth. These results may lead to the development of new technologies in the identification of still unknown bacterial metabolites and new management techniques to control forest plant diseases.
