Abstract

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth.) is a member of the order Brassicales and has been grown as a commercial oil seed annual crop in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, USA since the 1980’s. After harvest, the seed is pressed to yield oil containing unique long chain fatty acids (20:1 and 22:1) of high quality and commercial value in cosmetics and lubricants, making meadowfoam a high-value oilseed crop. After the oil has been extracted from seed, the remaining seed meal contains the glucosinolate glucolimnanthin. When plant cells containing glucolimnanthin are physically damaged and exposed to moisture and the enzyme myrosinase, this secondary plant metobolite degrades into toxic breakdown products. In a previous study, we demonstrated the toxicity of the glucolimnanthin degradation products nitrile, thioamide, and isothiocyanage (ITC) to the plant pathogen Pythium irregulare. The ITC was the most toxic to this pathogen while glucolimnanthin and its degradation product acetamide were not toxic to the pathogen. This research demonstrated the potential to utilize meadowfoam seed meal (MSM) as a soil amendment to manage this soilborne pathogen
