Abstract

To investigate anti-phytopathogenic fungal activity of Coptis chinensis, the methanol extract and its organic solvent fractions were prepared. Using the extract and the fractions, in-vitro spore-germination inhibition and mycelial-growth inhibition activities were evaluated against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Phytohpthora capsici, Pyricularia grisea, Rhizoctonia solani, Botryosphaeri dothidea, Glomerella cingulata, respectively. Treatment of the methanol extract (500 mg/mL) into the spore of phytopathogenic fungi completely inhibited germinations for 5 days, except B. dothidea, and showed strong antifungal activities against P. grisea and B. cinerea, and antioomycetes activity against P. capsici. The minimal growth inhibition concentrations of the methanol extract against P. grisea, B. cinerea and P. capsici were 300, 300, and 500 mg/mL, respectively. For practical application of C. chinensis in red-pepper field, the hot-water extract (1,000 mg/mL) was prepared in commercial facility, after evaluation of heat stability and solvent-extraction yields of antifungal substances. The 3-times leaf-spray of the extract from June to August, 2008 did not show any deleterious effect to red-pepper. In fact, the leaf-spray promoted plant growth including leaf, root and fruit. The average weight and rind of each fruit were increased to 119% and 117% comparison to those of without treatments. Our results suggest that C. chinensis is a useful source for control of red-pepper diseases and plant growth.

황련의 식물병원성 곰팡이에 대한 항진균 활성을 평가하기 위해 황련 메탄올 추출물 및 유기용매 분획물들을 조제하여 Colletotrichum gloeosporioides(고추탄저 병), Phytohpthora capsici(고추역병), Pyricularia grisea(벼도열병), Rhizoctonia solani(잎집무늬마름병), Botryosphaeri dothidea(겹무늬썩음 병), Glomerella cingulata(사과과실 탄저병) 및 Botrytis cinerea(잿빛곰팡이병)의 7종에 대해 $0{\sim}1,000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도로 처리한 후, 포자발아억제 활성 및 균사체 생육억제 활성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 황련 메탄올 추출물은 $500{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 B. dothidea를 제외한 6종의 곰팡이의 포자발아를 억제하였으며, P. grisea 및 B. cinerea에 대해 $300{\mu}g/mL$의 MIC를, P. capsici에 대해서는 $500{\mu}g/mL$의 MIC를 나타내었고, 다른 4종에 곰팡이에 대해서는 균사체 성장억제 활성이 나타나지 않았다. 고추 재배지의 실제적 적용을 위해 대량 추출조건을 선정한 후, 상업적 시설에서 열수 추출물($1,000{\mu}g/mL$)을 조제하고, 이를 6월부터 한달 간격으로 3회에 걸쳐 엽면살포한 결과 병해와 약해가 전혀 나타나지 않았다. 황련 살포에 의해 고추의 전반적인 생육, 잎, 뿌리 발육이 촉진되었으며, 고추는 평균중량이 119%, 과육의 두께가 평균 117% 증가되어 생육촉진 및 수확량 증가효과를 확인하였다. 본 연구결과는 황련 추출물이 고추 관련 질병 방제에 유용하며, 고추생육 촉진효과를 가짐을 시사하고 있다.
