“…Similarly, natural amides such as nootkatone [70], valencenoid derivatives [71], imidacloprid [72] deter feeding in termites and suppress adult survival [73]. Moreover, larch wood flavonoids [74] and stilbene rich compounds such as piceid (3,4,5-trihydroxystilbene glucoside), isorhapontin (3-methoxy-3,4,5 trihydroxystilbene-3-d-glucoside) and astringin (3,3,4,5-tetrahydroxystilbene-3-d-glucoside) isolated from bark of Picea glehnii also deter termites at a very low concentration 0.63 to 2.5 µmol/disc [75]. Similarly, 2' acetonaphthone also obstruct tunneling and feeding behavior in Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki at 8.33 mg/kg concentration [76] while application of Summon disks and filter paper disks coated with few chitin synthesis inhibitors, i.e.…”

In the present investigation various bioassays were conducted to evaluate the anti-termite efficacy of plant latex based formulations to control population of Indian white termite in subtropical soil. Results reveal that crude latex, its fractions and combinatorial fractions have shown very high toxicity against O. obesus. The LD 50 values for different latex fractions of 24 h were in a range of 5.0 -17.613 μg/mg while combined mixtures of Calotropis procera have shown synergistic activity against termites and caused comparably high mortality with LD 50 1.987 -6.016 μg/mg. The mortality rate was found dose and time dependent as it was found to be increased with an increase in dose and exposure period. In olfactometry tests, C. procera latex solvent fractions have shown significant repellency at a very low dose 0.010 -0.320 μg/mg. Interestingly, solvent fractions have significantly repelled large numbers of worker termites due to volatile action of active components of latex and different additives. ED 50 values obtained in crude latex were 0.121 μg/mg body weights while combinatorial formulations have shown ED 50 in between 0.015 -0.036 μg/mg. Statistical analysis of repelled and un-repelled termites gave a low Chi-square value (X 2 value = 0.890) which is an indicator of independence of repellent action in randomly selected termite groups. In field experiments pre-soaked cotton threads impregnated with Calotropis procera crude latex were tagged around tree trunks of Tectona grandis provided a wider protection against O. obesus. By employing these pre-coated threads, termite infestation and tunneling activity were significantly decreased (p < 0.05 and 0.01). When germinating crop plants were sprayed with various plant latex formulations, these have caused very high protective efficacy against termite infestation. It has significantly reduced crop losses up to 6.45%. There was a significant difference in infestation obtained in control and treatment groups (P < 0.05 and 0.01) which shows that Calotropis procera possesses enough anti-termite potential against Indian white termite, O. obesus population. If used these, formulations may also provide wide a range of control against other kinds of pests including house hold, medical and veterinary. However, Calotropis procera latex based formulations can be recommended for effective control of termites in high infestation areas by applying spray, or in form of poison baits or as fumigant in pure form.

“…These compounds are derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway, in which the last steps of biosynthesis are catalyzed by stilbene synthase (Chong et al, 2009). There is increasing interest in these antioxidant, antibacterial, and antiinflammatory compounds for use in healthy human diets, therapeutic approaches, and as protective agents in materials sciences (Shibutani et al, 2004;Metsämuuronen and Siren, 2014;Reinisalo et al, 2015;Hedenström et al, 2016;Sirerol et al, 2016). The tetrahydroxystilbene glucosides trans-astringin (3,3ʹ,4ʹ,5-tetrahydroxystilbene 3-O-b-D-glucoside) and trans-isorhapontin (3,4ʹ,5-trihydroxy-3ʹ-methoxystilbene 3-O-b-D-glucoside) are the most abundant constitutive stilbene compounds of Norway spruce, while the trihydroxystilbene glucoside trans-piceid (resveratrol 3-O-b-glucoside) and stilbene aglycons (i.e.…”

In planta localization of stilbenes within Picea abies phloem

et al. 2016

Phenolic stilbene glucosides (astringin, isorhapontin, and piceid) and their aglycons commonly accumulate in the phloem of Norway spruce (Picea abies). However, current knowledge about the localization and accumulation of stilbenes within plant tissues and cells remains limited. Here, we used an innovative combination of novel microanalytical techniques to evaluate stilbenes in a frozen-hydrated condition (i.e. in planta) and a freeze-dried condition across phloem tissues. Semiquantitative time-of-flight secondary ion-mass spectrometry imaging in planta revealed that stilbenes were localized in axial parenchyma cells. Quantitative gas chromatography analysis showed the highest stilbene content in the middle of collapsed phloem with decreases toward the outer phloem. The same trend was detected for soluble sugar and water contents. The specimen water content may affect stilbene composition; the glucoside-to-aglycon ratio decreased slightly with decreases in water content. Phloem chemistry was correlated with three-dimensional structures of phloem as analyzed by microtomography. The outer phloem was characterized by a high volume of empty parenchyma, reduced ray volume, and a large number of axial parenchyma with porous vacuolar contents. Increasing porosity from the inner to the outer phloem was related to decreasing compactness of stilbenes and possible secondary oxidation or polymerization. Our results indicate that aging-dependent changes in phloem may reduce cell functioning, which affects the capacity of the phloem to store water and sugar, and may reduce the defense potential of stilbenes in the axial parenchyma. Our results highlight the power of using a combination of techniques to evaluate tissue-and cell-level mechanisms involved in plant secondary metabolite formation and metabolism.

“…(+)-Citronellol has been reported as a mosquito repellent chemical (Taylor and Schreck 1985) and as being toxic against C. curvignathus (Roszaini et al 2013). According to Shibutani et al (2004), stilbenes which are well known as biologically active compounds are very effective against Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe) while methylated compounds increased termiticidal activity. Meanwhile, only five other compounds; presilphiperfolan-8-ol, hexenyl cinnamate <3Z, thymol, thujic acid and allo-hedycarvol were detected from PETETHR fraction.…”

“…MeOH are commonly used to get the higher yield of extracts (Ali et al 2010) and this solvent is also a good solvent system for the extraction of polar and non polar compounds (Richard et al 2012). The strong antitermitic activity by MeOH solvent is likely from the presence of hydroxy citronellol and stilbene (Taylor and Schreck 1985, Shibutani et al 2004, Roszaini et al 2013 which can't be extracted by other solvents.…”

Wood extractives from heartwood of Callophylum inophyllum (bintangor) were obtained by shaker method and analyzed for their constituents by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ten compounds were identified by ethanol (EtOH) solvents, fourteen by methanol (MeOH) and only nine by petroleum ether (PETETHR). Major compounds were contributed by monoterpenes (75.11%, 53.75%) when extracted with EtOH and PETETHR solvents. The anti-termitic assay of the wood extracts was also investigated against Coptotermes curvignathus. The level of concentration for anti-termite activity may be an indication of the dose application of the wood extracts for new development of termiticide.
