Abstract
  • Compounds of natural origin, such as phytotoxins produced by fungi or natural amino acids, could be used in parasitic weed management strategies by interfering with the early growth stages of the parasites. These metabolites could inhibit seed germination or germ tube elongation, so preventing attachment to the host plant, or, conversely, stimulate seed germination in the absence of the host, contributing to a reduction in the parasite seed bank. Some of the fungal metabolites assayed were very active even at very low concentrations, such as some macrocyclic trichothecenes,which at 0.1 ?M strongly suppressed the germination of Orobanche ramosa L. seeds. Interesting resultswere also obtainedwith somenovel toxins, such as phyllostictine A, highly active in reducing germ tube elongation and seed germination both of O. ramosa and of Cuscuta campestris Yuncker. Among the amino acids tested, methionine and arginine were particularly interesting, as they were able to suppress seed germination at concentrations lower than 1mM. Some of the fungal metabolites tested were also able to stimulate the germination of O. ramosa seeds. Themajor findings in this research field are described and discussed. (literal)
