Determination Of Antifungal Activity and Phenolic Compounds Of Endemic Muscari aucheri (Boiss.) Baker Extract

Öz

Antifungal activity and phenolic compounds of the methanol extract (flower + peduncle) derived from Muscari aucheri (Boiss.) Baker that grows endemically in Turkey were identified against five different plant pathogens [Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum, Alternaria solani, Verticillium dahliane, Rhizoctonia solani, Botrytis cinerea]. Methanol extract of M. aucheri was obtained from the aerial parts (flower + peduncle). Antifungal activity studies were performed by examining the obtained extract against plant pathogens at the final concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 mg/ml doses using the agar plate method. Mycelial growth inhibition and LD50 doses of the extract to the pathoges were determined. Significant levels of antifungal activities were observed at all the doses used in the extracts. At the same time, 100% inhibition were observed at 10 and 20 mg/mL doses used against the pathogens. Individual phenolic compound rutin (693,2 ug/g) was found in the extract at its highest level. Total phenolic compound and monomeric anthocyanin amounts were determined. Results from these findings suggest that phenolic compounds in natural antifungal agents may offer positive results in the control of plant pathogens.
