  • Formulations and methods for antifungal activity from periderm
    Patent number: 10201165
    Abstract: The present invention describes methods and formulations for protecting plants against various pathogens, involving the use of Prunus maackii materials. In some embodiments the biopesticide formulation comprises of at least one flavonoid such as 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavone, 3,5,7-trihydroxy-6-methoxyflavanone or 5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavanone. The invention further provides a method of making the biopesticide by extracting a Prunus species with a solvent and formulating the composition using adjuvants, and kits for application of the biopesticide.

  • Alkaloid that inhibits biosynthesis of mycotoxins and method for screening for mycotoxin inhibitors
    Patent number: 7041678
    Abstract: The present invention provides an alkaloid compound that is an inhibitor of mycotoxin biosynthesis. The alkaloid is an alkenyl piperidine amide wherein the alkenyl is a C18 alkenyl with one or more double bonds. The alkaloid inhibits transcription of the fungus genes nor-1, tri5, and ipnA. The present invention further provides a method for identifying compounds, which inhibit biosynthesis of aflatoxin in Aspergillus spp. and deoxynivalenol in Gibberella spp. without inhibiting growth of the fungus in vitro.
