The results show that the mycelial growth was inhibited strongly by the La, with EC50 of 130 - 320 mg·L^-1 and EC95 of about 550- 40007 mg·L^-1 respectively. In addition, the morphological toxicity of La was studied by using the scanning electronic microscope. Treated by La, the mycelial growth of pathogenic fungi was significantly restrained, and the morphological characteristics were found to be abnormal, such as increased ramification, malformation, partial swelling and shrinking, and irregularly entangled mycelial block or rhizomorph.展开更多

There was also uninoculation treatment (NM) simultaneously. Mycorrhizal (GM) plants have significantly increased growth and tolerance to toxicity induced by heavy metals compared with NM plants. P uptake was significantly increased in GM plants. Mycorrhizal symbiosis reduced the transportation of HMs fi'om root to shoot by immobilizing HMs in the mycorrhizal, shown by increasing the ratios of HMs from root to shoot. Oxidative stress, which can induce DNA damage, is an important mechanism of heavy metal toxicity. GM treatment decreased oxidative stress by intricating antioxidative systems such as peroxidases and non-enzymic systems including soluble protein. The DNA damage induced by heavy metals was detected using comet assay, which showed DNA damage in the plants was decreased by the GM treatment.展开更多

In this study, the antifungal compound 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene was isolated from A. tatarinowii Schott by activity-directed isolation method, and the inhibitory activity of the extract and 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene against seven plant pathogenic fungi was evaluated. The results showed that the extract and 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2- propenyl) benzene had high inhibitory activity against hyphal growth of Thielaviopsis paradoxa (de Seynes) V. Hohnel, Pestalotia mangiferae P. Henn., Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum (E. F. Smith) Syn. et Hans., Alternaria alternate Tanaka, Colletotrichum musae (Berk et Curt) V. Arx, Sphaceloma fawcettii Jenk., and Mycosphaerella sentina (Fr.) Schroter. The EC50 values of extract were 1.6162, 1.6811, 1.1253, 3.5771, 1.7024, 2.2284, and 2.2221 g L^-1, respectively, and the EC50 values of 1,2-dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene were 0.1021, 0.0997, 0.0805, 0.1742, 0.1503, 0.1853, and 0.1924 g L^-1, respectively. 1,2-Dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene also inhibited spores germination of T. paradoxa (de Seynes) V. Hohnel and F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum (E. F. Smith) Syn. et Hans., with the inhibitory rates of 98.81 and 100% at a concentration of 0.4 g L^-1 after 8 h, respectively. 1,2-Dimethoxy-4(2-propenyl) benzene is a potential botanical antifungal agent for controling of plant fungal diseases.展开更多
