“…The EC 50 with TA for the FG and FCr isolates was about 10 times higher than those reported for Colletotrichum lindemuthianum with extracts of cascalote ( Ceasalpinia cacalaco ) [33]. Cascalote is also a source for phenolics such as gallic and tannic acid.…”

Suspensions or solutions with 1% of Chinese galls (Galla chinensis, GC) or 1% of tannic acid (TA), inhibited germination of conidia or mycelium growth of Fusarium graminearum (FG) by 98%–100% or by 75%–80%, respectively, whereas dried bark from buckthorn (Frangula alnus, FA) showed no effect at this concentration. In climate chamber experiments where the wheat variety “Apogee” was artificially inoculated with FG and F. crookwellense (FCr) and treated with 5% suspensions of TA, GC and FA, the deoxynivalenol (DON) content in grains was reduced by 81%, 67% and 33%, respectively. In field experiments with two commercial wheat varieties and artificial or semi-natural inoculations, mean DON reductions of 66% (TA) and 58% (FA), respectively, were obtained. Antifungal toxicity can explain the high efficacies of TA and GC but not those of FA. The Fusarium head blight (FHB) and mycotoxin reducing effect of FA is probably due to elicitation of resistance in wheat plants. With semi-natural inoculation, a single FA application in the first half of the flowering period performed best. However, we assume that applications of FA at the end of ear emergence and a treatment, triggered by an infection period, with TA or GC during flowering, might perform better than synthetic fungicides.

“…Moreover, in the agricultural field, phenolic compounds represent a rich source of biocides and preservatives that have been explored for a long time as postharvest alternative control means (Ippolito and Nigro 2003;Lattanzio 2003). In particular, many studies have pointed out the antimicrobial efficacy of certain classes of phenolic compounds, such as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives (Lattanzio et al 1996;Amborabé et al 2002;Veloz-García et al 2010), coumaric and caffeic acid derivatives (Zhu et al 2004;Widmer and Laurent 2006;Korukluoglu et al 2008), flavonoids and coumarins (Ojala et al 2000;Ortuño et al 2006;Sanzani et al 2009a;Sanzani et al 2014), catechin, epicatechin, proanthocyanidins, andtannins (Di Venere et al 1998;Terry et al 2004;Engels et al 2009;Parashar et al 2009;Yoshida et al 2009). Moreover, some authors have studied the relationship between molecular structure and antimicrobial activity of some phenolic compounds (Lattanzio et al 1994;Amborabé et al 2002;Bisogno et al 2007).…”

Mediterranean Wild Edible Plants

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

All countries overlooking the Mediterranean basin possess a varied germplasm of wild edible herbaceous species, with Turkey, Spain, and Italy having the richest floras (Aedo et al. 2013). According to unpublished data gathered by one of us (VV Bianco), Italy probably has one of the highest numbers of wild herbs utilizable as food and condiment. Studies on botanical, agronomical, gastronomic, and nutritional aspects of wild edible herbaceous plants existing in Italy have been undertaken by Bianco since 1964. In the first published work (Bianco 1969), 113 species were reported. In the successive study (Bianco 1989), 360 taxa belonging to 66 families and 230 genera were listed. Afterwards, the results released by Bianco and Machakova (2002) showed that the number of taxa has reached 808, belonging to 91 families and 403 genera. Nowadays, according to the latest data of Bianco, the taxa utilizable as food and condiment herbs may reach 1078, corresponding to 14 % of the total number of taxa surveyed for the Italian vascular flora (Conti et al. 2005). They belong to 96 families, the most important being the following: Asteraceae (18.7 %), Brassicaceae (7.7 %), Lamiaceae (7.1 %), Apiaceae (6.6 %), Fabaceae (5.5 %), Polygonaceae (3.8 %), Chenopodiaceae (3.2 %), Boraginaceae (2.5 %), Alliaceae (2.4 %), and Malvaceae (2.0 %), and 451 genera, where the most represented are the following: Allium (26), Rumex (21), Lathyrus (15), Chenopodium (14), Crepis (13), Vicia (12), Amaranthus, Malva, and Plantago (9). Leaves are the most used organ in culinary preparation (about 70 % of the taxa), followed by tender stems (45 %), flowers (18 %), and roots (16 %); fruits, rhizomes, bulbs,

“…In Mexico, A. angustissima is used as herbal medicine to cures tooth-ache, rheumatism, arthritis, skin lesions, digestive tract problems, bloody diarrhea and mucoid diarrhoea [20,21]. The study of Feregrino-Pérez et al [21] has shown that the methanol extracts of A. angustissima are a good source of phenolic compounds, which are effective in preventing a plethora of diseases because they possess biological activities such as antidiabetic, antioxidants, anticancer, antimutagenic, and anti-inflammatory [20][21][22]. Studies have shown that A. angustissima possesses a mild inhibitory effect on Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus; and also has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of malignant tumors [20,23].…”

Acaciella angustissima (Mill.) Brit. & Rose is a multipurpose deciduous thornless shrub or small tree that belongs to the family Fabaceae and subfamily Mimosoideae. This study aimed to explore A. angustissima, a leguminous shrub with medicinal, ecological and industrial potential. A mixed-method approach, which included consolidating quantitative and qualitative research, was utilized to put together the review with the main focus being on sub-Saharan Africa. However, case studies and literature from South Africa were also utilized. A. angustissima is a good source of phenolic compounds. It is used to relieve painful toothache, rheumatism, skin lesions, bloody diarrhea and mucoid diarrhea. It also displays a mild antimicrobial effect and has the ability to inhibit growth in malignant tumors. The study acknowledged Acaciella angustissima as an important agroforestry tree species that improve the quality of life of resource-poor farmers, reducing poverty and promoting sustainability of the natural resources base and economic growth
