Abstract
Infection of seed-borne fungi on rice ( Oryza sativa ) may affect rice production and becomes an important problem in Indonesia recently. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of fungal endophyte metabolites isolated from rice ( Oryza sativa L.) to control seed-borne pathogenic fungi. Research activities involved isolation of endophytic fungi from rice, isolation of seed-borne fungi, and inhibition test of isolated endophytic fungal metabolites on seed-borne pathogenic fungi. The results showed that 3 isolates of endophytic fungi, i.e. LA6, LA11, and LA14 were potential producing antifungal metabolite. The metabolites of LA11 and LA14 isolates was able to reduce the growth of seed-borne pathogenic fungi between 18.33 and 47.28%.
