Discovery of polymethoxylated flavonoids in Artemisia argyi as main active components in inhibiting rice blast fungus
Background
Rice blast is a devastating disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea, and it is not well controlled globally. As a Traditional Chinese Medicine, Artemisia argyi has been proven to have inhibitory effects on a variety of phytopathogenic fungi. Here, we used bioactivity-guided isolation method and transcriptomics to clarify the antifungal active compounds in A. argyi and their antifungal mechanisms.
Results
In vitro studies showed that the absolute ethanol extract (AEE) of A. argyi had a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of M. grisea, with a low EC50 value of 1.156 mg/mL, and could cause the destruction of hyphae cell membrane and the leakage of cell contents. To identify the active constituents, we fractionated the AEE using macroporous adsorption resin and silica gel column chromatography. The active fraction (Fr.F-1) was fractionated and had even higher antifungal activity than AEE. The results showed that both AEE and Fr.F-1 could impact primary metabolic pathways and reactive oxygen species homeostasis of M. grisea, decrease the content of reducing sugars and downregulate the expression of genes related to starch and sucrose metabolism. Further fractionation of Fr.F-1 led to the identification of two polymethoxylated flavonoids (eupatilin and 3,5,3ʹ-trihydroxy-7,8,4ʹ-trimethoxyflavone), both of which had antifungal activity and they worked synergistically in Fr.F-1. Finally, we also investigated the effect of AEE, Fr.F-1 and eupatilin on rice blast control. The results showed that AEE, Fr.F-1 and eupatilin application strongly enhanced rice resistance to M. grisea.
Conclusion
In brief, these findings indicate that Fr.F-1 subfraction from A. argyi and its main components polymethoxylated flavonoids confer inhibiting activities to M. grisea. This discovery can effectively alleviate the degradation pressure of A. argyi by-products, promote the healthy development of its industry, and provide new a strategy for the development of new botanical fungicides to control rice blast.
期刊介绍:
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed forum for the advancement and application to all fields of agriculture of modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technologies. The scope of this journal includes chemical and biochemical processes aimed to increase sustainable agricultural and food production, the evaluation of quality and origin of raw primary products and their transformation into foods and chemicals, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation. Of special interest are the effects of chemical and biochemical technologies, also at the nano and supramolecular scale, on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their environment, with the help of modern bioinformatics. Another special focus is the use of modern bioorganic and biological chemistry to develop new technologies for plant nutrition and bio-stimulation, advancement of biorefineries from biomasses, safe and traceable food products, carbon storage in soil and plants and restoration of contaminated soils to agriculture.
This journal presents the first opportunity to bring together researchers from a wide number of disciplines within the agricultural chemical and biological sciences, from both industry and academia. The principle aim of Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is to allow the exchange of the most advanced chemical and biochemical knowledge to develop technologies which address one of the most pressing challenges of our times - sustaining a growing world population.
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture publishes original research articles, short letters and invited reviews. Articles from scientists in industry, academia as well as private research institutes, non-governmental and environmental organizations are encouraged.
