We studied the inhibitory effects of allelochemicals extracted from celery (Apium graveolens L.) rotten roots and rhizosphere soil on Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC). The allelochemicals were extracted and separated by column chromatography from the acetone extracts of celery rotten roots and rhizosphere soil. After extraction each fraction was mixed with potato dextrose agar (PDA) culture medium and then inoculated with FOC. The best fraction was screened by measuring the colony diameter and its effects on FOC was determined by evaluating the activities of antioxidant enzymes. The allelochemicals of best fractions were detected using GC-MS. The best fractions obtained after second run in column chromatography were labeled as RRA32, RRA38, RRA101, RRA102 and RRSA55, RRSA56, RRSA105, RRSA106 and they had allelopathic potential of 29.68 %, 31.97 %, 40.38 %, 41.55 % and 29.51 %, 29.47 %, 29.30 % and 32.85 % respectively. The antioxidants enzymes (peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) activities were significantly lower in treated FOC than control. Using the 8-best fractions, the GC-MS analysis yielded, total 47 compounds viz., 7 organic acids, 17 esters, 1 phenol, 1 alcohol, 1 aldehyde, 5 nitrogen-containing compounds and 2 carbides.

The antidiarrhoeal effect of Waltheria indica methanol extract and fractions have been reported earlier but, the present work examined the intestinal relaxant effects of two flavonoid-phenyl propanoids isolated from the methanol extract. The active aqueous fraction was subjected to vacuum liquid chromatography using dichloromethane with increasing concentration of ethyl acetate, and that of methanol and water successively. The ten (10) fractions obtained were combined to give seven (7). The fraction 2 (C, D) was subjected to preparative thin layer chromatography on silica gel GF254 (10-40μm) using CHCl3-CH3OH (8:2) to obtain compound coded F2. Fraction 4 (F) was subjected to column chromatography using silica gel (60-120μm mesh) and eluted with  dichloromethane with increasing concentrations of methanol. Fractions 9-28 were combined and subjected to column  chromatography using chloroform with increasing concentration of methanol. The fractions 1-16 of these were purified on Sephadex LH-20 to obtain compound BAA. The identities of the two compounds were established using spectroscopic methods. The  antidiarrheal effect of compound F2 was evaluated on mice using charcoal transit (100,200, 400mg/kg), castor oil (40, 60 mg/kg)  while the two compounds were examined for their inhibitory effects on Ach-induced ileum contraction. The effects of the  compounds were compared with loperamide (3mg/kg) and atropine (80μg). Compounds F2 and BAA were identified as tiliroside and 3’’’, 5’’’-dimethoxy tiliroside respectively. Tiliroside inhibited the charcoal transition in the animals in a dose dependent pattern with 400mg/ mL eliciting 63.41% inhibition compared to 59.23% produced by loperamide. The compound also elicited significantly (P<0.05) prolonged onset of stooling and reduced the number and weight of stools produced lower than the control. The two  compounds drastically inhibited the Ach-induced contractions of the ileum. The compound, tiliroside at 10mg, completely abolished  the contraction by Ach unlike 3’’’, 5’’’-dimethoxy tiliroside which reduced the contraction to 1.92% at 20mg. The identified compounds seem to be responsible for the ethnomedicinal use of the plant in treating diarrhea.

A chloroform extract of the mycelium of Fusarium oxysporum Schl. em. Sny. et Hans, was analyzed for sterols; three major components were identified as ergosterol, ergosterol peroxide, and cerevisterol. The ratio of ergosterol to ergosterol peroxide formed was variable. Palmitic, stearic, oleic, and linoleic acids were identified by gas–liquid chromatography as the principal fatty acids of this organism.Fusaric acid, a phytotoxin previously obtained by other investigators from a number of forms of F. oxysporum, was isolated from the culture medium.

We investigated the autotoxicity of Lanzhou lily rhizosphere soil with different cultivation years. The allelochemicals in such soils were isolated and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Based on our earlier studies, the antioxidant 2246 and dioctyl terephthalate were found in lily sick soil were used in pot experiments determine to their autotoxic effects on the Lanzhou lily seedlings growth, photosynthetic parameters and antioxidant enzyme activities in seedling leaves. The content of antioxidant 2246 and dioctyl terephthalate was determined by GC-MS in rhizosphere soil of different cultivation years. The aqueous extracts of Lanzhou lily rhizosphere soil promoted the growth of its own seedlings at 0.2 mg·mL-1, however, the concentrations > 2 mg·mL-1 were inhibitory. The longer the cultivation period (1-yr, 2-yr and 4-yr), the stronger were the inhibitory effects. In rhizosphere soils of 1-yr, 2-yr and 4-yr ; 8,: 15 and 18 compounds were identified, respectively. The identified compounds were camphor, 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2,4-bis(1,1- dimethylethyl)-phenol, tributyl phosphate, dibutyl phthalate, antioxidant 2246 and dioctyl terephthalater and these are reported as allelochemicals. The pot experiment results showed that low concentrations of antioxidant 2246 stimulated the seedling growth but high concentrations were inhibitory, while all concentrations of dioctyl terephthalater inhibited the seedling growth. At 100 mg·mL-1, the antioxidant 2246 and dioctyl terephthalate significantly inhibited the photosynthesis and antioxidant enzyme activity in leaves (P <0.05). Furthermore, the content of these two compounds in soils increased with the increase of cultivation years. These results suggested that allelochemicals accumulated in replanted soil contributed to the autotoxicity of Lanzhou lily in rhizosphere soil.

Self-inhibitory processes are a common feature shared by different organisms. One of the main mechanisms involved in these interactions regarding microorganisms is the release of toxic diffusible substances into the environment. These metabolites can exert both antimicrobial effects against other organisms as well as self-inhibitory ones. The in vitro evaluation of these effects against other organisms has been widely used to identify potential biocontrol agents against phytopathogenic microorganisms. In the present study, we performed membrane assays to compare the self-inhibitory effects of soluble metabolites produced by several Trichoderma isolates and their antifungal activity against a phytopathogenic strain of Fusarium oxysporum. The results demonstrated that Trichoderma spp. present a high self-inhibitory activity in vitro, being affected in both their growth rate and the macroscopic structure of their colonies. These effects were highly similar to those exerted against F. oxysporum in the same conditions, showing no significant differences in most cases. Consequently, membrane assays may not be very informative by themselves to assess putative biocontrol capabilities. Therefore, different methods, or a combination of antifungal and self-inhibitory experiments, could be a better approach to evaluate the potential biocontrol activity of microbial strains in order to pre-select them for further in vivo trials.

The effects of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. apii on celery seed germination were investigated with the hope of developing a germ-plasm screening procedure with seeds. Seeds of celery lines known to exhibit a range of disease responses to the pathogen as whole plants were inoculated with two different virulence types and in two ways: (1) spore–mycelial suspensions in potato dextrose broth (PDB), and (2) spore–mycelial suspensions in sterile H2O. Inoculum in PDB retarded germination in all celery lines and the relative degree of this retardation was congruent with virulence of the pathogen and, in general, relative retardation of germination was also in agreement with whole-plant disease response. Inoculum in H2O stimulated germination and the degree of stimulation also appeared related to degree of whole-plant disease response. Extracts from disease lesions incited by F. oxysporum f. sp. apii on celery exerted a dose-dependent inhibition of germination but filtrates from 14-day-old cultures in PDB had no significant effect.

Thirty rhizosphere and non-rhizosphere soil samples from different infection grades(0, I, III, V and VII) of three typical banana plots(Jianfeng, Shiyuetian, Chongpo) infected by banana fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense) in Hainan province were collected to study the microbial community functional diversity applying Biolog-ECO microplates technology. The results are as follows: (1) Overall carbon source metabolic capacities of soil microbial community weaken with increasing of infection grades of banana fusarium wilt. (2) Richness indices, Simpson indices, Shannon indices and McIntosh indices of soil microbial community gradually decreased with increasing of infection grades of banana fusarium wilt. (3) Principal component analysis show that metabolic characteristics of soil microbial community significantly change between the healthy plants and diseased plants in the same banana plot. The results would provide information for explaining the pathogenesis of banana fusarium wilt and controlling its incidence by applying microbial ecology to regulate soil environmental measures.
