“…It varies with the season, climate, collection time, and biotic or abiotic stresses, which interfere with the levels of the components derived from the secondary metabolism of plants. Analyses of composition of oils extracted from noni fruits collected from the same region of Brazil (VELOSO et al, 2020) and others collected in Malaysia (PIARU et al, 2011) showed content variations of up to 20%, but maintaining fatty acids as major compounds.…”

“…The pesticides in use present a series of harmful effects, which include ecological risks, toxicity, insect resistance (ROSIC et al, 2020) and food contamination (GERAGE et al, 2017). Given this, the use of natural compounds with multiple functions emerges as a promising strategy (VELOSO et al, 2020). Among the species with potential use in alternative controls, Noni (Morinda citrifolia L.) stands out due to its fungistatic and insecticidal properties (NOSÉ et al, 2021).…”

Currently, the increasing productivity, garanee phytosanitary measures, and food security in plantations is a significant challenge. The potential of plant compounds in pests and diseases alternative control has been widely researched. This study is the first to investigate the use of the plant Morinda citrifolia L.(noni) for managing maize leafhoppers, a major issue in plantations. The effects of essential oil and octanoic acid on resistance induction were evaluated with quantification of phytoalexins, potential phytotoxicity, and toxicity to corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis. The chromatographic analysis identified octanoic acid as the primary compound, constituting 58.43% of the essential oil. The elicitor potential was more pronounced in plants treated with M. citrifolia compounds than in those treated with commercial resistance-activating products. The essential oil effectively controlled D. maidis, resulting in 50% mortality after 48 hours without damaging the leaf area. These findings highlight the potential of M. citrifolia in the biorational control of the stunting complex, with effective vector control and resistance induction.

“…The wound healing properties of the soluble extracts of the MC plant were predicted using PASS online. In PASS, the prediction is based on an analysis of the structural activity relationships of the compounds that are biologically active [26,27]. The biological activity of the plant compounds was estimated using in terms of probable activity (Pa) and probable inactivity (Pi).…”

Wound healing is an urgent problem that impacts quality of life, and the need for biomaterials suitable for the treatment of skin wound healing disease is increasing annually. Innovative biomaterials and treatments for skin abrasions are being relentlessly researched and established in order to improve treatment efficacy. Here, we describe a novel electrospun polymeric nanofibrous scaffold enriched with pharmaceutical bioactive materials extracted from Morinda citrifolia (MC), which demonstrated efficient skin wound healing therapy due to its excellent human skin keratinocyte proliferation and adhesion in in vitro analysis. Surface morphological analysis was used to reveal the nano-architectural structure of the electrospun scaffolds. The fabricated nanofibers displayed good antibacterial efficacy by creating an inhibitory zone for the pathogenic microbes studied. MC supported active healing due to the presence of pharmaceuticals associated with wound healing, as revealed by the results of gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and the prediction of activity spectra for substances (PASS) analysis. Since MC is a multi-potential therapeutic herbal plant, it was found that the linoleic acid, olelic acid, and diethyl phthalate present in the extract supported the wound healing proteins glycogen-synthase-kinase-3-β-protein and Protein Data Bank—1Q5K with binding energies of −4.6, −5.2, and −5.9 kcal mol−1, as established by the results of in silico analysis. Thus, by being hydrophilic in nature, targeting wound proteins, increasing the proliferation and adhesion of keratinocytes and combating pathogens, the nanofibrous scaffolds endowed with MC extract proved to be an effective therapeutic material for skin wound dressing applications.

“…Noni extract has anthelmintic activity against Pheretima posthuma (Giri et al, 2010) (Peixoto et al, 2011;Katata-Seru et al, 2018), antiviral (Ratnoglik et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2016) and antifungal (Goss et al, 2017) activity. Essential oils extracted from noni fruit can inhibit the pathogenic fungi Exserohilum turcicum, a pathogen that causes Northern Corn Leaf Blight (NCLB), and Bipolaris maydis, a pathogen that causes Southern Corn Leaf Blight (SCLB) (Silva et al, 2017;Veloso et al, 2020). Jayaraman et al (2008) reported that methanol extract from noni fruit showed antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Penicillium sp., Fusarium sp., Mucor sp., Rhizopus sp., Aspergillus fumigatus, and Aspergillus flavus.…”

Anthracnose is a plant disease that can infect a variety of plants worldwide. Fungal pathogen groups are the cause of anthracnose, one of which is Colletotrichum acutatum. Morinda citrifolia is famous for having antimicrobial activity. This study aims to determine the antifungal activity of M. citrifolia leaves extract against the growth of the fungus C. acutatum. The extract solvent used was 96% ethanol. The experiment consisted of five treatments (0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and propineb 0.1% as positive control). The method used in this study was the poisoned food technique. In this technique, C. acutatum was grown on PDA media mixed with M. citrifolia leaves extract. Antifungal activity was observed based on reduced mycelium growth compared to control. Observations were made every day by measuring the diameter of the fungus mycelium for eleven days. The analysis showed that 60% M. citrifolia leaves extract effectively inhibited the growth of the mycelium C. acutatum on the eleventh day of observation.
