Biofumigation potential of brassicas

TL;DR: Investigation of in vitro toxicity of six ITCs to the mycelial growth of five cereal root pathogens suggests there is significant scope to enhance the biofumigation potential of brassicas by selecting those which produce large quantities of GSL precursors to the most toxic I TCs for the target organism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofumigation and Enhanced Biodegradation: Opportunity and Challenge in Soilborne Pest and Disease Management

TL;DR: Despite this success, biofumigation is not seen as being sufficiently powerful or practical in implementation to be an alternative to methyl bromide on a broad scale and misdirection in that regard could be counterproductive to more appropriately targeted further development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofumigation: Isothiocyanates released from Brassica roots inhibit growth of the take-all fungus

TL;DR: Low concentrations of these and related compounds inhibited growth of Ggt in pure culture when supplied as the vapour of pure chemicals in concentrations within the range expected during breakdown ofBrassica roots in soil.

Bio-protective effects of glucosinolates - a review.

TL;DR: The present review focuses on the beneficial bioactivities of glucosinolates such as antifungal, antibacterial, bioherbicidal, antioxidant, antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic etc along with their experimental evidence and mode of action.

Toxicity of Phenolic Compounds to Certain Onion Bulb Parasites

J. C. Walker, +1 more
- 01 Mar 1935 - 
TL;DR: From these studies it is clear that many phenolic substances with a wide distribution in the plant kingdom exhibit little or no toxicity to certain parasitic organisms, and the mere presence ofphenolic substances in a host plant does not warrant the conclusion that they play a rôle in the resistance of that host to a given parasite or parasites.

Disease resistance to Onion smudge.

TL;DR: The present paper contains the results of investigations upon onion smudge and shows that there are at least two substances or groups of substances within onion tissue which have a marked inhibitive effect upon the growth of the causal fungus, Colletotrichum circinans (Berk.) Voglino.
