RESULTS: The pipeline was evaluated using five documented antifungal compounds (benomyl, catechol, cycloheximide, 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol, and phenylacetic acid) that have different modes of action and efficacy, against the model soilborne fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis cucumerinum. We initially evaluated the five compounds\' ability to inhibit fungal growth and metabolic activity using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labeled F. oxysporum and PrestoBlue staining, respectively, in multiwell plate assays. We tested the compounds\' inhibition of both conidial germination and hyphal elongation. We then employed FUN-1 and SYTO9/propidium iodide staining, coupled to confocal microscopy, to differentiate between fungal growth inhibition and death at the cellular level. Finally, using a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-detection assay, we were able to quantify ROS production in response to compound application.
CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, the proposed pipeline provides a wide array of quantitative and qualitative data on the tested compounds that can help pinpoint promising novel compounds; these can then be evaluated more vigorously using in planta screening assays. © 2024 The Authors.

结果:使用五种有记录的抗真菌化合物(苯菌灵,儿茶酚,环己酰亚胺,2,4-二乙酰间苯三酚,和苯乙酸)具有不同的作用方式和功效,针对模型土壤传播的真菌病原体尖孢镰刀菌f。sp。黄瓜根。我们最初使用绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)标记的尖孢酵母和PrestoBlue染色评估了五种化合物抑制真菌生长和代谢活性的能力,分别,在多孔板测定中。我们测试了化合物对分生孢子萌发和菌丝伸长的抑制作用。然后我们采用FUN-1和SYTO9/碘化丙啶染色,再加上共聚焦显微镜,在细胞水平上区分真菌生长抑制和死亡。最后,使用活性氧(ROS)检测测定法,我们能够量化响应化合物应用的ROS产生。
结论:总的来说,拟议的管道提供了大量的定量和定性数据的测试化合物,可以帮助查明有希望的新化合物;这些可以更积极地评价使用植物筛选试验。©2024作者害虫管理科学由JohnWiley&SonsLtd代表化学工业学会出版。
