ABSTRACT:
Anthracnose disease caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (Sacc. and Magnus) Lams-Scrib is one of the most devastating seed-borne diseases of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris
L.). In the present study, we evaluated the antifungal activity of Bunium persicum essential
oil (EO) and its main constituents on mycelial growth, sporulation and spore germination
inhibition of C. lindemuthianum. The main objective of this study was to investigate
the effect of EO and its main constituents on decreasing the activity of cell wall degrading
enzymes (CWDEs) produced by C. lindemuthianum, which are associated with disease
progress. Also, the effects of seed treatment and foliar application of EO and its main constituent,
cuminaldehyde, on anthracnose disease severity was investigated. The essential oil
of B. persicum, was obtained by using a clevenger apparatus and its major constituents were
identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The EO was characterized
by the presence of major compounds such as cuminaldehyde (37.7%), γ-terpinene (17.1%)
and β-pinene (15.4%), which indicated antifungal effects against C. lindemuthianum. This
pathogen did not grow in the presence of EO, cuminaldehyde and γ-terpinene, β-pinene
at 1,500; 1,010 and 1,835 ppm concentrations, respectively. Also, sporulation and spore
germination of C. lindemuthianum was completely inhibited by EO and cuminaldehyde.
Synergistic effects of the main constituents showed that combing γ-terpinene with cuminaldehyde
induced a synergistic activity against C. lindemuthianum and in combination
with β-pinene caused an additive effect. Activities of pectinase, cellulase and xylanase,
as main CWDEs, were decreased by EO and its main constituents at low concentration
without affecting mycelial growth. Seed treatment and foliar application of peppermint
EO and/or cuminaldehyde significantly reduced the development of bean anthracnose. We
introduced B. persicum EO and constituents, cuminaldehyde and γ-terpinene, as possible
control agents for bean anthracnose.
