Analysis of volatile components in herbal pair (HP) herba schizonepetae-ramulus cinnamomi (HS-RC), single herb HS and RC was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data and chemometric resolution ...Analysis of volatile components in herbal pair (HP) herba schizonepetae-ramulus cinnamomi (HS-RC), single herb HS and RC was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data and chemometric resolution method (CRM). The two-dimensional data obtained from GC-MS instruments were resolved into a pure chromatogram and a mass spectrum of each chemical compound by CRM. In total, 47, 61 and 51 chemical components in volatile oil of HS, RC, and HP HS-RC were respectively determined qualitatively and quantitatively, accounting for 90.52%, 88.37%, and 88.72% total contents of volatile oil of HS, RC, and HP HS-RC, respectively. The number of the volatile components of HP HS-RC is almost the addition of that of two single herbs, but their relative contents are changed.展开更多

Methods The antagonist effect of 13 Trichoderma strains (including T. viride and T. harzianum) was evaluated upon mycelia growth of P. nicotianae. Trichoderma strains with high antagonistic activities against the pathogen were used to control stem blight of S. tenuifolia in the field. Results Of 13 Trichoderma strains tested, T. viride strain M3 showed maximum mycelia growth inhibition (83.2%) to the pathogen, followed by T. viride strain Tv04-2 (78.2%) and then T. harzianum strain ThB (65.0%), in vitro. Fungal cell wall degrading enzymes, protease, and β-1,3-glucanase were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively in further study. T. viride strains M3, Tv04-2, and T. harzianum strain ThB efficiently against P. nicotianae were used to control stem blight of S. tenuifolia in the field, and T. viride strain M3 showed the best biocontrol potential. Conclusion Trichoderma spp. can be used as alternatives of pesticides to control stem blight, one of the serious soilborne diseases of S. tenuifolia caused by P. nicotianae. However, though T. viride strains Tv04-2 and T. harzianum strain ThB are also highly against P. nicotianae in vitro, the controlling efficacy of them on stem blight disease is not as excellent as T. viride strains M3 in the field.展开更多
