| dc.description | The previously detected antifungal activity
against Mycosphaerella fijiensis of aqueous infusions
of healthy banana (Musa acuminata cv. Grande Naine)
leaves, suggested the production of phytoprotectants
by the plant. The bioassay-guided VLC-purification
of the lyophilized infusion of the leaves of 4-month
old healthy banana (M. acuminata cv. Grande Naine)
plants, resulted in the purification of a phytoanticipin
with strong antifungal activity against M. fijiensis
Morelet, the causal agent of black Sigatoka, the most
destructive and devastating disease of bananas and plantains in the world. The LC-MS analysis of the purified
phytoanticipin suggests a steroidal saponin structure
with four sugar units attached to the C-3 position of a
diosgenin-like aglycone. This represents the first report
of phytoanticipins occurring in M. acuminata. | |
