Summary: | Rice brown spot is an important disease of rice worldwide that inflicts substantial yield losses. The antimicrobial potential of methanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extracts of different medicinal plants, viz.,
Syzygium aromaticum, Saussurea costus, Acorus calamus, Bergenia ciliate, Geranium pratense, Mentha longifolia, Inula racemosa, Podophyllum hexandrum, Heracleum candicans and Picrorhiza kurroa
, against the brown spot pathogen
Bipolaris oryzae
in vitro was evaluated via mycelial growth inhibition and spore germination inhibition assays. Among the plant extracts tested, 100% mycelial inhibition was observed for the methanol extract of
Syzygium aromaticum
at all three concentrations (2000 ppm, 3000 ppm and 4000 ppm), followed by the methanol extract of
Inula racemosa
(90.33%) at 4000 ppm. A maximum conidial germination inhibition of 83.54% was exhibited by the
Heracleum candicans
leaf extract. Phytochemical profiling of
Syzygium aromaticum
and
Inula racemosa
through liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (HR-LCMS) revealed the presence of several compounds, such as eugenol, ursolic acid, quercetin, chlorogenic acid, and noscapine. A molecular docking approach was used to identify key inhibitory molecules against
B. oryzae
. Among the compounds detected in
S. aromaticum
and
Inula racemosa
, ursolic acid and noscapine were found to have the greatest binding affinity for the Big Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase (BMK-1) enzyme present in
B. oryzae
. In conclusion,
S. aromaticum
and
Inula racemosa
are potent compounds that could serve as lead compounds for drug discovery in the future. |
