Species (Apocynaceae)]]>F. HaronFarah SijamKamaruzaman OmarDzolkhifli RahmaniMawardi 32013133Anthracnose is an economically important disease that can
cause 10 to 80% yield reduction in the market with its typical symptoms of dark
spots, sunken necrotic tissues and concentric rings of acervuli on fruits. One
of the important methods to control the disease is by using antifungal agents
derived from plant. Preliminary study indicated that the extracts of Allamanda
species have the potential to be developed as the target agent. Five Allamanda
species were extracted and screened for antifungal activity against plant
pathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides by using poison agar
technique. The three chloroform extracts of A. blanchetti, A. cathartica
Alba and A. cathartica Jamaican Sunset exhibited
potent inhibitory effects and suppressed the mycelial growth of C. gloeosporioides
by up to about 70%. Further study by bioautography-guided fractionation of the
extracts led to the isolation and identification of tetracyclic sesquiterpene
plumericin as the antifungal agent. The structural determination of the compound
was carried out by interpreting the IR, MS, 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR spectral data.]]>Abdel-Kader, M.S., J. Wisse, R. Evans, H. van der Werff and D.G.I.
