Abstract
AbstractIn this study, Limoniastrum feei extracts were evaluated for management of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Foa) through antifungal tests and cellulases inhibition (cellulases are cell ...
Highlights
Due to the notable medicinal value of Limoniastrum feei, it was considered of interest to carry out phytochemical and antimicrobial investigations of this species (Belboukhari & Cheriti, 2005)
The results showed that certain extracts of Limoniastrum feei present a significant effect against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis
The Thin layer chromatography (TLC) analyses indicated that the extracts of L. feei were composed of a mixture of secondary metabolites
Summary
Due to the notable medicinal value of Limoniastrum feei, it was considered of interest to carry out phytochemical and antimicrobial investigations of this species (Belboukhari & Cheriti, 2005). The other uses of L. feei are as an antibacterial, for treatment of bronchitis and stomach infection (Belboukhari & Cheriti, 2007). A previous investigation revealed that methanol extract from L. feei leaves contained potential antifungal activity against Candida albicans and antibacterial effects against E. coli (Belboukhari & Cheriti, 2009). These results prompted us to test in vitro several extracts of L. feei against Fusarium oxysporum f. Its culture is threatened by several pests and diseases such as vascular fusariosis. The vascular wilt of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), locally known as Bayoud disease, is caused by a soil fungus: Fusarium oxysporum f. Albedinis (Killian and Maire) Gordon (Kettout & Rahmania, 2010) The vascular wilt of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), locally known as Bayoud disease, is caused by a soil fungus: Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. albedinis (Killian and Maire) Gordon (Kettout & Rahmania, 2010)
