SUMMARYAll four seed diffusates used for treatment of sunflower seeds, Azadirachtaindica, Capsicum annuum, Coriandrum sativum and Eugenia jambulana, reduced the populations of seed-borne fungi: Alternaria alternata, Drechslera tetramera, Emericellopsis terricola, Fusarium moniliforme, F.semitectum, Macrophomina phaseolina and Phoma oleracea. Of four seed diffusates, those from A.indica and C.sativum controlled the fungal populations almost 100%. Seed germination was increased in seed samples of both sunflower cultivars under study, HO-1 and NK-212. The obtained results indicate that seed diffusates could substitute costly chemicals for safe control of seed-borne diseases, protecting at the same time the environment from chemical pollution.

Cabai (Capsicum annuum L.) merupakan salah satu komoditas hortikultura penting di Indonesia. Infeksi cendawan patogen terbawa benih merupakan salah satu kendala yang menyebabkan rendahnya produksi cabai. Cendawan patogen terbawa benih cabai umumnya adalah Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. fumigatus, Alternaria alternata, Drechslera hawiinesis, Fusarium moniliforme, F. oxysporum, dan F. solani yang dapat menjadi sumber inokulum utama penyebab penyakit di lapangan. Salah satu pengendalian yang ramah lingkungan adalah dengan menggunakan cendawan endofit. Cendawan endofit telah diketahui dapat menghambat pertumbuhan cendawan patogen. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan metabolit cendawan endofit yang dapat menghambat pertumbuhan cendawan patogen terbawa benih cabai. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah isolasi cendawan endofit dari tanaman cabai dan cendawan patogen terbawa benih cabai, seleksi cendawan endofit dengan uji patogenisitas dan uji penghambatan cendawan endofit terhadap cendawan patogen. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 2 dari 42 isolat cendawan endofit yang diperoleh berpotensi menghambat pertumbuhan cendawan patogen terbawa benih cabai yaitu CECL 19 dan CECL 38.

Durante o armazenamento, vários fungos podem permanecer associados às sementes de milho, causando deterioração ou se mantendo viáveis, infectando posteriormente a plântula. Objetivou-se neste trabalho verificar a sobrevivência de fungos associados às sementes de milho durante 12 meses de armazenamento, em câmara fria (14ºC; 40% UR) e em ambiente não controlado. Observaram-se com maior freqüência os fungos de campo Alternaria alternata, Bipolaris maydis, Cephalosporium acremonium, Cladosporium herbarum, Fusarium moniliforme e Rhizoctonia solani, além de Rhizopus spp. e Trichoderma spp., cuja sobrevivência decresceu ao longo do armazenamento, de modo muito mais acentuado em condição de ambiente não controlado, em comparação à câmara fria. Aspergillus e Penicillium tiveram suas incidências aumentadas ao longo do período, principalmente em ambiente não controlado. Nessa condição, a sobrevivência de Fusarium moniliforme foi reduzida gradativamente até o final dos doze meses; comparativamente, em câmara fria, a viabilidade do fungo foi menos afetada. Bipolaris maydis manteve-se viável na maioria dos lotes, durante todo o armazenamento em câmara fria; em ambiente não controlado, o fungo sobreviveu durante quatro a dez meses, dependendo do lote avaliado. O armazenamento em ambiente não controlado, embora tenha provocado a redução do inóculo de F. moniliforme e outros fungos importantes, poderia acelerar o processo de deterioração das sementes. Em câmara fria, por outro lado, a viabilidade dos fungos é favorecida, comprometendo a qualidade sanitária das sementes.

SUMMARYFive fungicides, namely Tecto, Benlate, Bayton, Topsin and Derosal, were evaluated for their effect on seed germination and control of major seed-borne pathogens of sunflower. Two sunflower cultivars, HO-1 and NK-212, naturally infected with important seed-borne fungi were treated with these fungicides at 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 g/kg. All the fungicides under study controlled the seed-borne fungi and increased the germination of sunflower seed to various levels. Tecto and Benlate in both cultivars gave better performance in reducing the fungal population and increasing seed germination. Topsin and Derosal also reduced the fungal population at higher dosage but there was no considerable improvement in germination. The use of fungicides at 2.5 g/kg provided almost complete elimination of fungi and 8-10 percent increase in seed germination as compared to the use of fungicides at 2 g/kg.

Seeds of rice were treated with Garlic (Allium sativum) clove extract @ 1:0, 1:1, 1:2 dilutions in water, allamanda (Allamanda cathartica) leaf extract @ 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 dilutions in water and Provax-200 @ 0.3% for controlling seed borne fungi, where the seed samples of three rice varieties viz. Katharee, Gutee Aus and Kalijira were collected from farmer’s storages of Bangladesh. The seed germination under control ranged from 64 to 77%, where treatments resulted up to 100% germination. The identified seed borne fungi of rice were Bipolaris oryzae, Curvularia oryzae, Fusarium oxysporum, F. moniliforme, Nigrospora oryzae, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp., where prevalence of Bipolaris oryzae (7.5%) and Fusarium moniliforme (8.3%) were the maximum. All the treatments significantly reduced the seed borne fungi up to 100% over the control, where Provax was found best and was statically similar to garlic (1:1) extract against seed borne pathogen of rice.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/agric.v10i1.11064The Agriculturists 2012; 10(1): 46-50

By tests using standard moist blotters, potato–dextrose–agar plates, and moist sterilized sand, 26 fungal species belonging to 13 genera were isolated from seeds of Cedrus deodara Loud. Most of these fungi were present on seed surfaces and only nine caused deep-seated internal infections. Some of the more common species in different tests were Aspergillus flavus, A. luchuensis, Epicoccum purpurascens, Fusarium moniliforme, Pénicillium canadense, and Rhizopus oryzae. Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium canadense, and Rhizopus oryzae showed differences in pathogenicity to seed germination and seedling development in sterilized and unsterilized soils. Of the nine fungicides tested for the control of the seed-borne fungi, RH-2161, a liquid fungicide, was found to be the most effective. Dithane M-45 was also effective, whereas the remaining seven fungicides were less effective.

The AAL-toxins and fumonisins are a group of chemically related phytotoxic congeners produced by Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici and Fusarium moniliforme, respectively, that also are widespread mycotoxins with important health implications. These mycotoxins, which bear a structural relationship to the sphingoid base, sphingosine, also incite maladies in animals ranging from neoplasms to renal, neural, and hepatic necrosis. A. alternata f. sp. lycopersici causes the Alternaria stem canker disease in tomatoes, while F. moniliforme causes pink ear rot of maize and is associated with post-harvest contamination of many different food staples. These toxins are potent inhibitors of ceramide synthase in plants and animals. Sphingoid bases are mediators of signal transduction leading to neoplasms and necrosis in animals. Significant inhibition of ceramide synthase in microsomal preparations of tomato occurs at 20 nM with an I50 in the range of 35–40 nM for both AAL-toxin, TA, and fumonisin, FB1. In plants, specific alterations of physiological processes associated with cellular response to these toxins appears to be required for cell death. A net decrease in sucrose influx to treated leaves occurs within 4 h of AAL-toxin treatment. Untreated leaves of toxin-resistant and -sensitive isolines of tomato show significant differences in sucrose transport capacity. Exogenous application of sucrose transport inhibitors mimicked AAL-toxin symptoms and enhanced cell death in susceptible lines of tomato. Conversely, the accumulation of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACQ occurred in 1 h and increased rapidly during the next 6 h after exposure to AAL-toxin. ACC accumulation is followed by a burst in ethylene within 12 h. Application of specific inhibitors of ethylene synthesis or ethylene action results in a decrease in toxin-induced cell death. These toxins appear to be useful tools for defining biochemical and molecular features common to induced cell death in both plants and animals. Key words: AAL-toxins, fumonisins, mycotoxins, host-selective toxins, Alternaria stem canker, Alternaria alternata, Fusarium moniliforme.
