The increasing multidrug-resistance in pathogenic microbes and the emergence of new microbial pathogens like coronaviruses have necessitated the discovery of new antimicrobials to treat these pathogens. The use of antibiotics began after the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming from Penicillium chrysogenum. This has attracted the scientific community to delve deep into the antimicrobial capabilities of various fungi in general and Phoma spp. in particular. Phoma spp. such as Phoma arachidicola, P. sorghina, P. exigua var. exigua, P. herbarum, P. multirostrata, P. betae, P. fimeti, P. tropica, among others are known to produce different bioactive metabolites including polyketides, macrosporin, terpenes and terpenoids, thiodiketopiperazines, cytochalasin derivatives, phenolic compounds, and alkaloids. These bioactive metabolites have already demonstrated their antimicrobial potential (antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral) against various pathogens. In the present review, we have discussed the antimicrobial potential of secondary metabolites produced by different Phoma species. We have also deliberated the biogenic synthesis of eco-friendly antimicrobial silver nanoparticles from Phoma and their role as potential antimicrobial agents.

“…The term allelopathy is classified as a biochemical interaction that involves both suppression and activation or one of them, via the production of substances from one plant, including microbes (Rai et al, 2021;Harahap & Rahmat, 2015) on another plant (Rashid et al, 2010). Furthermore, the allelopathic action of several plant species was evaluated, and it was discovered that some families suppressed the root growth of lettuce by more than 80% (Ishak et al, 2021;Qasem & Foy, 2001).…”

The use of synthetic herbicides causes many problems, including pollution, a decrease in soil organic content, and weed resistance to specific herbicides. Plants provide a source of novel phytotoxic compounds that can be evaluated in the search for efficient and ecologically safe herbicides. This research aimed to examine the allelochemical bioherbicidal activity of sambiloto (Andrographis paniculate Ness) leaf extract (SLE) to suppress weed seed germination and growth. The experiment was designed to investigate the effect of the SLE as a potent weed seed germination inhibitor and retard weed growth. In this experiment, a non-factorial randomized block design was used, with treatments SLE0 (0% Extract), SLE1 (Extract 0.1%), SLE2 (Extract 0.5%), SLE3 (Extract 1.0%), and SLE4 (Extract 1.5%). The result showed that weed height and biomass were significantly reduced after the extract was applied. The plant-based extracts contained 0.1114% flavonoids and 0.1628% tannins. The findings suggest that this sambiloto herbaceous extract has a promising future in modern plant protection as bioherbicide to suppress germination and weed growth. Therefore, the application of these bio-products could be beneficial for sustainable agricultural practices.

“…For example, the single genus Phoma is a source to several important phytotoxins like Altiloxin A, Bellidisins A–D, Betaenone A, Chenopodolans A–C, Cytochalasins, Deoxaphomin, etc., with prominent herbicidal activities against weeds like Asparagus sp., Tricyrtis maculate , Beta vulgaris , Chenopodium album , Cirsium arvense , Sonchus arvensis , etc. ( Rai et al, 2021 ). Again, tenuazonic acid (phytotoxin) obtained from species of Alternaria kills plants potentially by interacting with D1 protein, thereby blocking electron transport beyond Q A and inhibiting PSII ( Chen and Qiang, 2017 ; Dalinova et al, 2020 ).…”

Invasive plant species are a major threat to biodiversity and agricultural productivity. Hence, efforts to manage these menace involves extensive and effective use of chemical herbicides amongst others. However, not only is the impact of control with chemical herbicides short-lived but also leads to negative impact on human health and environment due to non-target herbicide-drift and runoff from the sprayed areas. This has ushed in much-anticipated nature-based potential regulators of weed species, in an attempt to lower the utilisation of chemical herbicides. Mycoherbicides have been seen as a benign, eco-friendly, host-specific, and replacement for chemical herbicides. There are several noteworthy genera of fungus that have been proved to be effective against weeds. They either produce strong phytotoxins or are often used as spore/conidia-based solutions and applied as a spray in growth media. One of such potential genera is Colletotrichum Corda 1831. Compared to other potent fungal genera, with well-established roles in conferring herbicidal activities by producing competent phytotoxins, only a few species under genus Colletotrichum are known to produce fungal metabolites be used as phytotoxins. This article elucidates the current understanding of using spore suspension/phytotoxin of Colletotrichum as a weedicide. We also discuss the interaction between fungal metabolites release and Colletotrichum-target plant, from a molecular and biochemical point of view. This review article has been written to accentuate on the potency of Colletotrichum, and to serve as an eye-opener to consider this genus for further fruitful investigations. However, inconsistency associated with mycoherbicides in terms of viability and efficacy under field conditions, production of bioactive compound, slow natural dispersal ability, etc., have often reduced their utility. Hence, our study emphasizes on the need to do extensive research in elucidating more phytotoxins from necrotrophic phytopathogenic microorganisms with novel mode of action for field application.
