Item type:Publication, The Allelopathic Activity of Extracts and Isolated from Spirulina platensis(2022-06-01); ; We determined the allelopathic effects of crude organic (hexane, ethyl acetate, and methanol) extracts of the cyanobacterial Spirulina platensis on barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.) and Chinese amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.). The crude ethyl acetate extract showed the highest inhibitory activity and was subsequently fractionated by column chromatography into 23 fractions based on thin-layer chromatography band pattern similarities. Four concentrations (2000, 1000, 500, and 250 ppm) of each fraction were tested for their allelopathic activity. Fractions E6 and E13 exhib-ited the most significant inhibitory effects against Chinese amaranth. The constituents of the highly active E6F3-E6F5 fractions determined by GC-MS, chromatography, and spectroscopy included the fatty acids, γ-linolenic acid 15, oleic acid 12, and predominantly palmitic acid 7; minor constituents included 2-ethyl-3-methylmaleimide 9 and C<inf>11</inf> norisoprenoids (dihydroactinidiolide 10 and 4-oxo-β-ionone 13). Isolation of E13 fraction by column chromatography revealed four C<inf>13</inf> norisoprenoids: 3-hydroxy-β-ionone 17, 3-hydroxy-5α,6α-epoxy-β-ionone 18, 3-hydroxy-5β,6β-epoxy-β-ionone 19, and loliolide 20. Their structures were elucidated by NMR spectroscopy. All six isolated noriso-prenoids inhibited seed germination and seedling growth of Chinese amaranth at concentrations of 250–1000 ppm. Allelochemicals from S. platensis could be utilized in the development of novel bioactive herbicides.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Enantioselective and synergistic herbicidal activities of common amino acids against Amaranthus tricolor and Echinochloa crus-galli(2021-04-01); ; Amino acids have a wide range of biological activities, which usually rely on the stereoiso-mer presented. In this study, glycine and 21 common α-amino acids were investigated for their herbicidal property against Chinese amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor L.) and barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.). Both D-and L-isomers, as well as a racemic mixture, were tested and found that most compounds barely inhibited germination but moderately suppressed seedling growth. Various ratios of D:L-mixture were studied and synergy between enantiomers was found. For Chinese amaranth, the most toxic D:L-mixtures were at 3:7 (for glutamine), 8:2 (for methionine), and 5:5 (for tryptophan). For barnyard grass, rac-glutamine was more toxic than the pure forms; however, D-tryptophan exhibited greater activity than racemate and L-isomer, indicating the sign of enantioselective toxicity. The mode of action was unclear, but D-tryptophan caused bleaching of leaves, indicating pigment synthesis of the grass was inhibited. The results highlighted the enan-tioselective and synergistic toxicity of some amino acids, which relied upon plant species, chemical structures, and concentrations. Overall, our finding clarifies the effect of stereoisomers, and provides a chemical clue of amino acid herbicides, which may be useful in the development of herbicides from natural substances.1
