Potential impacts of Copper Sulfate and Sodium Silicate Salts of Corn Late Wilt Disease in Field disease Nursery and Synthase of Anti-defense Compounds

Screening of Some Biotic and Abiotic Agents for Controlling Maize Late Wilt Disease Caused by <i>Magnaporthiopsis maydis</i>

“…Furthermore, sodium silicate treatment significantly enhanced the 100KW and NGWE/ plant, whereas potassium silicate increased NGWE/plant only. These results were agreed with the finding of Farahat, 2019 [50], who reported that late wilt incidence was reduced, maize yield was enhanced and peroxidase enzyme activity was significantly increased following sodium silicate treatment. In addition, silicon was reported to; stimulate the growth of maize, either influence the development of casparian bands, suberin lamellae and root vascular tissues [51], or accumulates in epidermal cell wall inhibiting fungal penetration [52][53][54].…”

The Classification, Molecular Structure and Biological Biosynthesis of Flavonoids, and Their Roles in Biotic and Abiotic Stresses

“…To escape from various kinds of biotic stresses, plants have evolved mechanisms to resist biotic stresses, and the production of phytoalexins is an effective method for defending against the invasion of pathogenic fungi [181][182][183]. The flavonol aglycone rhamnetin is a fungi-toxic phytoalexin that enhances the resistance of cucumber to a powdery mildew [72,184,185]. There is an increase in the content of nobiletin, heptamethoxyflavone, tangeretin and sinensetin in citrus fruits when they are infected with Phytophthora citrophthora, which is positively correlated with their antifungal effects [186,187].…”
