Phaseolin Induction on Common-Bean Cultivars and Biological Control of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 89 Race by Baccharis trimera (Less.) Dc.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to evaluate the fungitoxic effect of the aqueous extracts of Baccharis trimera on the mycelial growth of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 89 race, as well as its effect on the accumulation of phaseolin in hypocotyls of different cultivars and common bean varieties. It was obtained 20% aqueous extract from plants collected in municipalities of the Western Region of Paraná. Blocks containing C. lindemuthianum mycelium were transferred to Petri dishes containing medium with the different extracts and incubated at 25 °C. The colonies diameter was measured until the 12th day. Effects of aqueous extracts on phaseolin production was evaluated in hypocotyls of Carioca, Cnpf 8104, Soberana, Tibatã, Uirapurú cultivars, as well as Rosinha and Vermelho varieties. Each one cultivar and variety hypocotyl was transferred separately to test tubes containing 500 μL of 20% aqueous extracts. Sterile water, Bion®, and UV was used as controls. The phaseolin production was measured in spectrophotometer [280 nm]. Results of the evaluation of the antifungal activity of aqueous extracts of Baccharis sp. specimens collected indicate that approximately 50% of the samples presented capacity to reduce between 74 and 92% of C. lindemuthianum growth. Cultivar Tibatã and Vermelho variety showed greater sensitivity over the applied treatments. Results of fungal filtrates and vegetal aqueous extracts presented a low capacity to induce the production of phaseolin in hypocotyls.

INTRODUCTION

The genus Phaseolus comprises approximately 55 species, but only five are cultivated, among which the common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L. [11 Costa J, Vieira N. Qualidade, classificação comercial, e manejo pós-colheita. In: Yokoyama LP; Stone LF. Feijão EA e, editor. Cultura do feijoeiro no Brasil: Características de produção. 1st ed. Santo Antônio de Goiás: Embrapa Arroz e Feijão; 2000.]. In Brazil, the common bean mean about 85,5% of all bean crop production [22 EMBRAPA Secretaria de comunicação. Balanço comercial Embrapa 2016. Brasília; 2017.]. Brazil is the world's largest producer and consumer of common bean, representing one of the most economically and socially important crops (3). In 2019/2020 the harvest Brazilian country was 3.02 million tons of bean covered a 3 million ha area (4). By the other hand, common bean crops also means the basic economy of many small farms with less than 10 ha [55 Broughton WJ, Hernández G, Blair M, Beebe S, Gepts P, Vanderleyden J. Beans (Phaseolus spp.) - Model food legumes. Plant and Soil. 2003; 252(1):55-128.]. Moreover, being an excellent source of protein, it is one of the most important constituents of the Brazilian diet [66 Torres LMB, Gamberini MT, Roque NF, Lima-Landman MT, Souccar C, Lapa AJ. Diterpene from Baccharis trimera with a relaxant effect on rat vascular smooth muscle. Phytochemistry. 2000; 55(6):617-9.].

Genetic breeding programs has been promoting the development of several cultivars resistant to biotic and abiotic factors [77 Lorenzi H, Matos F. Plantas medicinais no Brasil: Nativas e exóticas. São Paulo: Instituto Plantarum, 2002.]. Improve new resistant cultivars represent an effective process to control diseases in the crop fields when compared to other methods like application of pesticides [88 Mundt CC. Durable resistance: A key to sustainable management of pathogens and pests. Infection, Genetics and Evolution. 2014; 27(1)446-55.]. Although, great genetic variability of the pathogens has challenged genetic improvement projects [99 Bonaldo SM, Santos BT, Bulhões CC, Bonaldo SM. Inducing resistance in cotton against Colletotrichum gossypii var. cephalosporioides with essential oils. Sci Electronic Arch. 2016;9(5)45-50.].

Anthracnose is one of the most significant diseases in bean culture promoting total or partial loss of production [1010 Bianchini A, Maringoni A, Carneiro S. Doenças do feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris). In. Kimati H, Amorim L, Rezende JAM, Bergamin Filho A, Camargo LEA. Manual de Fitopatologia. 1st ed. São Paulo: Agronomica Ceres, 2005.]. The Colletotrichum lindemuthianum fungus is the causal agent of this disease and presents a great pathogenic variability throught 247 different races with 35 occurring particularly in Brazil [1111 Nunes M, Gonçalves-Vidigal M, Lacanallo G, Coimbra G. Comprehension of genetic variability and virulence of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum in common bean. 51th BIC Meeting. 2013.]. In this context, one alternative way to solve the anthracnose problem is the induction of resistance in cultivars by the activation of latent defense mechanisms existing in plants, in response to treatment with biotic or abiotic agents [1212 Hammerschmidt H, Dann E. Induced resistance to disease. In: Raton B. Environmentally Safe Approaches to Crop Disease Control. 1st ed. CRC Press, 1997.]. Several chemical compounds provides by molecules of fungi, bacteria or also virus, can be applied on resistance induction once extracted from cells of microorganisms, filtered from cultures or living microorganisms [1313 Rizzini C. Tratado de fitogeografia do Brasil aspectos ecológicos sociológicos e florísticos. 1st ed. Rio de Janeiro: Âmbito Cultural, 1997.,1414 Oliveira MDM, Varanda CMR, Félix MRF. Induced resistance during the interaction pathogen x plant and the use of resistance inducers. Phytochem. Lett. 2016;15(1)152-8.].

The synthesis of phytoalexins [phyton = plant / alexin = repellent] is best studied defensive response to pathogens in plants, these compounds are formally known since 40s decade in Germany [1515 Paxton JD. Phytoalexins - A Working Redefinition. J Phytopathol. 1981; 101(2)106-9.]and consists in a group of secondary metabolites produced by plants in response to infections by pathogens[1616 Zuanazzi J, Montanha J. Flavonóides. In: Simões CMO, Schenkel EP, Gosman G, Mello JCP, Mentz LA. Farmacognosia da planta ao medicamento. 1st ed. Florianópolis:UFSC, 2004.,1717 Taiz L, Zeiger E. Fisiologia vegetal. 4th ed. Porto Alegre: Artmed, 2009.]. These natural products presents low molecular weight and are synthesized by plants in cells as a response to microbial infections (18), with the ability to interfere in the development of the pathogen [1919 Santos BA, Zambolim L, Ventura JA, Francisco &, Vale XR. Severidade de isolados de Fusarium subglutinans fs pananas sensíveis e resistentes ao Benomyl em abacaxizeiro. Fitopatol Bras. 2002;27(1):101-3.].[Nowadays the importance of phytoalexins in a host-pathogen defense interaction also is recognized like an ecochemical natural products related to mediation of organisms interactions [2020 Komíves T, Király Z. Disease resistance in plants: The road to phytoalexins and beyond. Ecocycles, 2019;5(1):7-12.].

Phytoalexins belong to different chemical classes that include flavonoids, polyacetylenes and isoprenes, including terpenoids and steroids [2121 Milanesi P, Blume E, Muniz S, Brand S, Jungles E, Manzoni C, et al. Ação fungitóxica de extratos vegetais sobre o crescimento micelial de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Rev da FZVA Uruguaiana, 2009; 16(1):1-13.]. In addition, studies with crude extract and essential oil of medicinal plants have indicated their potential in the induction of phytoalexins, besides showing fungitoxic action [2222 Solino AJDS, Schwan-Estrada KRF, Oliveira JSB, Ribeiro LM, Saab MF. Accumulation of phytoalexins in beans, soybeans and sorghum by fungal filtrates. Rev Caatinga. 2017; 30(4):1073-8.]. The effects of phytoalexins also are known in human health, where some chemical classes can promote important effects in organism like antioxidant, antiaging, antitumor activities, or cardio and neuro protection [2323 Jeandet P, Courot E, Clément C, Ricord S, Crouzet J, Aziz A, Cordelier, S. Molecular Engineering of Phytoalexins in Plants: Benefits and Limitations for Food and Agriculture. J Agr Food Chem. 2017; 65(1):2643-4.].

Phaseolin is the main phytoalexin found in beans, this substance is produced when mature plants are attacked by fungi [2424 Picoli T, Massako T, Augusto S, Nascente P, Nascimento S. Efeito do óleo essencial de Baccharis trimera (Carqueja) frente a leveduras. 16o - Congresso de Iniciação Científica. Pelotas, 2007.]. However in common bean seed case, the presence of phaseolin represents about 50% of total amount of protein [2525 Yao Y, Hu Y, Zhu Y, Gao Y, Ren G. Comparisons of phaseolin type and a-amylase inhibitor in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in China. Crop J. 2016; 4(1):68-72.]. So, in germinative stage this storage glycoproteins have the function of provide amino acids to seed [2626 Thibeault J, Church J, Ortiz-Perez B, Addo S, Hill S, Khalil A, et al. Analyzing bean extracts using time-dependent SDS trapping to quantify the kinetic stability of phaseolin proteins. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2017; 491(4):994-9.]. The phaseolin protein show low enzymatic proteolysis and digestibility, but under certain conditions can be hydrolyzed, becoming small peptides with antioxidant and iron chelating potential [2727 Hayat I, Ahmad A, Masud T, Ahmed A, Bashir S.

The medicinal plant Baccharis trimera (Less.) Dc., popularly known as “Carqueja”, is one of the best-studied species in botanical, chemical and pharmacological terms [2929 Carreira R.

Phytoalexins - A Working Redefinition. J Phytopathol. 1981; 101(2)106-9.]. In medicine B. trimera has proven action in the treatment of liver problems, due to the high antioxidant activity present in the crude extract of this species [2020 Komíves T, Király Z. Disease resistance in plants: The road to phytoalexins and beyond. Ecocycles, 2019;5(1):7-12.]. Furthermore, the specie present a high potential and importance to pharmacological researches [11 Costa J, Vieira N. Qualidade, classificação comercial, e manejo pós-colheita.

In this sense, the objective of this work was to evaluate the phaseolin accumulation in common bean hypocotyls under influence of biotic and abiotic inductors, as well as the fungitoxic effect of applied aqueous extracts of B. trimera on the mycelial growth of C. lindemuthianum.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Obtaining aqueous extract of Baccharis trimera [AE]

In order to obtain aqueous extracts (AEs) of B. trimera we collected 16 samples of fresh vegetative material in municipalities of western Paraná state: Jesuítas, Santa Helena, São Pedro do Iguaçu, Terra Roxa, Toledo and Vera Cruz do Oeste.

After being properly identified for the species, the samples were washed in running water and 50g of the vegetative material was ground in 200 mL of Potato-Dextrose medium, without addition of Agar, for one minute in the blender. The filtration of the homogenates material was carried out in gauze, resulting in different AEs (20%). Each one of AE received 12g of L-1 of agar and then autoclaved.

Antifungal activity of AEs

To evaluate a possible antifungal effect of AEs, we disposed micelial plugs of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum 89 Race [Ø 5 mm] in the center of Petri dishes containing Potato Dextrose Agar (KASVI®) culture media (Potato Dextrose Agar) with AEs. The plates were sealed with plastic film and incubated at 25 ± 2 °C in the dark. The evaluations were performed by measuring the diameter of the colonies (mean of two diametrically opposed measurements) for 12 days with a digital caliper. For each treatment with AE, it was used a total of five replicates and the negative control applied to assay was the culture media not containing AE. To calculate the percentage inhibition of mycelial growth, we applied the formula proposed by Menten et al. [3939 Menten J, Machado C, Minussi E, Castro C, Kimati H. Efeito de alguns fungicidas no crescimento micelial de Macrophomina phaseolina (Tass ) Goid "in vitro". Fitopatol Bras. 1976; 1:57-66.].

Obtaining the filtrate of C. lindemuthianum

To obtain the filtrate of C. lindemuthianum disks from the culture medium containing fungal mycelium were transferred to erlenmeyers, in 150 mL of Potato Dextrose Broth (KASVI®), and subsequently kept for nine days under orbital shaker at 120 rpm in the dark at 25±2 °C.

The mycelium was collected, washed in distilled water, and carefully separated from the culture medium residues. The pure mycelium obtained was macerated in a porcelain mortar, resulting in a powder after diluted in distilled water (1:4 m/v) and autoclaved. The resulting suspension was filtered on Whatman paper, with the aid of a vacuum pump and the obtained filtrate was frozen at -70 °C.

Effect of AEs on phaseolin production

To evaluate the effect of AEs on phaseolin production, we adapted the methodology proposed by Dixon and coauthors [4040 Dixon RA, Dey PM, Lawton MA, Lamb CJ. Phytoalexin Induction in French Bean. Plant Physiol.1983;71(2):251-6.]. Bean seeds of the cultivars Carioca, Cnpf 8104, Soberana, Tibatã, Uirapurú and Rosinha and Vermelho varieties were surfaccially disinfected in sodium hypochlorite [1%] for five minutes and washed in sterilized distilled water. The seeds were then transferred to trays containing autoclaved sand and kept at 25 ± 2 °C in the dark. After seven days of growth we detached hypocotyls segments of 5 cm long from the seedlings, washed them in sterile water and dried at room temperature on sterile filter paper. The hypocotyls of each cultivar were transferred separately to test tubes, containing 500 μL of AEs (20%) and the filtrate of C. lindemuthianum as treatments. We selected Acibenzolar-S-methyl (Bion®) plant defense inducer (160 ppm) as positive control and mili-Q water as negative control according to Brand and coauthors [4141 Brand S, Blume E, EMM F, Dressler V, Sheeran M, Antonello L, et al. Acibenzolar-S-Metil na indução de fitoalexinas em Phaseolus vulgaris. IX CONAFE. Campinas; 2008.].

The test tubes were maintained at 25 ± 2 ° C in the dark for 48 hours. After, the hypocotyls were removed and dried at room temperature on sterile filter paper. The hypocotyl base in contact with the solution of the treatments was excised and discarded, reducing possible interference in reading the results. The hypocotyls were transferred to test tubes containing 10 mL of ethanol (P.A.), kept at 4 °C for 48 h and shaken for one hour to extract phaseolin, which was measured indirectly at 280 nm [4242 Bailey JA, Burden RS. Biochemical changes and phytoalexin accumulation in Phaseolus vulgaris following cellular browning caused by tobacco necrosis virus. Physiol Plant Pathol. 1973; 3(2)171-7.].

All the phytoalexins induction experiment was realized in triplicates per treatment was used in a first trial, with all cultivars and bean varieties. For a second assay, the cultivars and varieties that had the highest values of phaseolin production were used. In addition to the other treatments, the hypocotyls were exposed to ultraviolet light for two hours.

Statistical analysis

The experimental design was completely randomized for mycelial growth and phaseolin induction assays. The data were submitted to analysis of variance, using the Sisvar Program for Windows version 4.0. [4343 Ferreira D. Análises estatísitcas por meio do Sisvar para Windows versão 4.0. Reunião Anual da Regional Brasileira da Sociedade Internacional de Biometria. São Carlos; 2000.].

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Antifungal activity of AEs

Antifungal activity assays with Baccharis trimera AEs (20%) from specimens collected in the Western Region of Paraná indicate that about 50% of all materials presented capacity to reduce the growth of C. lindemuthianum in 74 and 92% (Table 1).

Table 1

In this sense, we observed that B.c.-4, B.c.-5, B.c.-9 and B.c.-16 treatments had a higher inhibition rate over mycelial growth of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, decreasing 92% in relation to the control. The other collected materials showed values between 0 and 33% in fungus growth reduction, indicating a low antifungal potential. The B.c.-7 and B.c.-13 treatments presented low antifungal action, inhibiting the fungal growth only in 8 and 6% respectively, not differing statistically from the control.

According to Milanesi and coauthors [2121 Milanesi P, Blume E, Muniz S, Brand S, Jungles E, Manzoni C, et al. Ação fungitóxica de extratos vegetais sobre o crescimento micelial de Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Rev da FZVA Uruguaiana, 2009; 16(1):1-13.] and Delazer and coauthors [4444 Delazer M, Scopel S, Magrini F, Pansera M, Camatti-Sartori V, Ribeiro R. Baccharis trimera no controle in vitro de fitopatógenos. XLII Congresso Brasileiro de Fitopatologia. 2009.], the concentration of 20% presented better antifungal effect against Colletotrichum sp. Stangarlin and coauthors [4545 Stangarlin J, Schwan-Estrada K, Cruz M, Nozaki M. Plantas Medicinais e Controle Alternativo de Fitopatógenos. Biotecnol Ciência Desenvolv. 1999; 11(3)16-21 .] found that the plant partially inhibited the mycelial growth of Colletotrichum graminicola.

Moura and coauthors [4646 Moura GS, Franzener G, Stangarlin JR, Schwan-Estrada KRF. Atividade antimicrobiana e indutora de fitoalexinas do hidrolato de carqueja (Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC.). Rev Bras Plantas Med. 2014; 16(1):309-15.] related an antifungal potencial os B. trimera aquous extracts against Pseudocercospora vitis, Cercospora kaki, and Hemileia vastatrix, had been most effective when applied directely on the spores, damaging the germination of them. The same work still demonstrates the inefficiency of B. trimera to induce the production of phytoalexins in sorghum crop.

Pedrotti and coauthors [4747 Pedrotti C, Silva Ribeiro RT da, Schwambach J. Control of postharvest fungal rots in grapes through the use of Baccharis trimera and Baccharis dracunculifolia essential oils. Crop Prot. 125:104912, 2019.] working with pure essential oils of B trimera, found statistical differences among four concentrations when applied against Colletotrichum acutatum, where 0,07% (700 ppm) could reduce 100% of the mycelial growth until the 14th day.

The variation of the fungitoxic effect of B. trimera extracts, found in the present work, demonstrates the possibility of genotypic and / or phenotypic variability of the materials collected in the cities sampled, as well as the importance of a more careful selection of the materials with purpose of use in the control of phytopathogens. Auler and coauthors [4848 Auler N, Battistin A, Reis M. Número de cromossomos, microsporogênese e viabilidade do pólen em populações de carqueja (Baccharis trimera (Less.) DC.) do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina. Rev. Bras. Pl. Med. 2006; 8(2):55-63.], carrying out work with the reproductive and genetic aspects of B. trimera, verified that it presents genetic variability among and within the species.

The antifungal effect of Baccharis trimera and other medicinal plants was also confirmed by Bonaldo and coauthors [99 Bonaldo SM, Santos BT, Bulhões CC, Bonaldo SM. Inducing resistance in cotton against Colletotrichum gossypii var. cephalosporioides with essential oils. Sci Electronic Arch. 2016;9(5)45-50.] that obtained anthracnose reduction of about 50% in cotton affected by Colletotrichum gossypii var. cephalosporioides. Carreira [2929 Carreira R. Baccharis trimera (Less ) DC(Asteraceae) estudo comparativo dos óleos voláteis atividade biológica e crescimento de estacas de populações ocorrentes em áreas de Cerrado e Mata Atlântica. Botanical Institute of São Paulo Envirnmental Secretary; 2007.], evaluated the essential oil biological activity of Baccharis trimera samples against Cladosporium sphaerospermum Penz, verifying variation in composition and antimicrobial activity of the volatile oil. This process was associated with the influence of environmental factors, include temperature variation and pluviometric indices, influencing the occurrence of terpenes [constituents of the volatile oils]. We believe that the terpenes could be volatilized to the atmosphere or leached to the soil, justifying a lower yield of the volatile oil of Baccharis trimera collected in the region where there was a higher temperature and a higher rainfall index.

It is important and necessary to proceed with the fractionation of the crude extracts in order to obtain the bioactive compounds, and also to establish the minimum concentration necessary for inhibiting C. lindemuthianun.

Effect of AEs on phaseolin production

The results of the average phaseolin production in hypocotyls of different bean cultivars and varieties treated with B. trimera AEs (Bc-13 and autoclaved and non-autoclaved Bc-9) filtered from C. lindemuthianum, MiliQ and Bion® water are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1
Average of the phaseolin production in hypocotyls of different cultivars and varieties of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) treated with inducers of biotic origin (AEs of B. trimera and C. lindemuthianum filtrates) and abiotic (Bion® and water mili -Q), measured by absorbance (280nm) gram fresh weight-1 (gpf). Averages indicated by the same letter do not differ by Tukey test, at 5% probability.

Although the results there was no significant difference between the values in the phaseolin production, among the cultivars and varieties submitted to the treatments, there was a greater variation in the production in cultivars Tibatã and Cnpf 8104 and in the Vermelho variety. Based on these data, the cultivar Tibatã and the Vermelho variety were selected and submitted to a new test with the same treatments, plus UV-light treatment (Figure 2).

Figure 2
Average of the phaseolin production in hypocotyls of the cultivar Tibatã and of the Red variety treated with different inducers of biotic and abiotic origin, measured by the absorbance (280nm) gram of fresh weight-1 (g.p.f.). (1) autoclaved Bc-9, (2) non-autoclaved Bc-9, (3) autoclaved Bc-9, (5) non-autoclaved Bc-9, (6) filtrate of C. lindemuthianum, (7) Bion®, (8) UV light. Averages indicated by the same letter are not significant by Scott-Knott test at 5% probability.

The phaseolin production average in hypocotyls of Tibatã cultivar indicated a significant difference between autoclaved and non-autoclaved B.c.-13 treatments. This result suggests that autoclavation process reduce the ability of these AEs to induce the production of this phytoalexin. On the other hand, the autoclaved B.c.-13 treatment acted apparently as an antioxidant reducing phaseolin production at lower levels of those induced with water treatment. The autoclaved and non-autoclaved B.c.-9 treatments did not present a reduction action on phaseolin production.

The filtrate of C. lindemuthianum and the treatment with UV light presented the highest averages for phaseolin production, being superior to the Bion® plant defense inducer and the other treatments. Wulff and Pascholati [4949 Wulff NA, Pascholati SF. Preparações de Saccharomyces cerevisiae elicitoras de fitoalexinas em mesocótilos de sorgo. Sci Agric. 1998; 55(1):138-43.] testing the autoclaved filtrate of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, verified that there was a greater accumulation of phytoalexins in sorghum mesocotils.

Stangarlin and coauthors [4545 Stangarlin J, Schwan-Estrada K, Cruz M, Nozaki M. Plantas Medicinais e Controle Alternativo de Fitopatógenos. Biotecnol Ciência Desenvolv. 1999; 11(3)16-21 .] testing the accumulation of deoxyanthiocyanidins in sorghum mesocotyls, observed that the treatment with the pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola obtained a greater accumulation of metabolites related to plant defense. Bonaldo and coauthors [5050 Bonaldo S, Schwan-Estrada K, Stangarlin J, Tessmann D, Scapim C. Fungitoxicidade, atividade elicitora de fitoalexinas e proteção de pepino contra Colletotrichum lagenarium, pelo extrato aquoso de Eucalyptus citriodora. Fitopatol Bras. 2004; 29(2):128-34.] found that the highest production of phytoalexins deoxyanthyanidins in sorghum were promoted by the pathogen Colletotrichum sublineolum.

Solino and coauthors [2222 Solino AJDS, Schwan-Estrada KRF, Oliveira JSB, Ribeiro LM, Saab MF. Accumulation of phytoalexins in beans, soybeans and sorghum by fungal filtrates. Rev Caatinga. 2017; 30(4):1073-8.] evaluating the induction of phaseolin, gliceonin and deoxyanthocyanidins by filtrates of saprophytic fungi species Curvularia inaequalis, Pseudobitritis terrestris, Memnomiella echinata e Curvularia eragrostidis, obtained a phaseolin increment of 9, 8, 9 and 7% when compared to control.

When Baldin and coauthors [5151 Baldin D, Scariot E, Telaxka F, Jaski J, Franzener G, Moura G, et al. Indução de faseolina em feijão e na atividade antibacteriana sobre Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli pelo extrato etanólico de própolis | Cadernos de Agroecologia. 2014; 9(1).] tested propolis ethalnolic extracts provide from three different places from west of Paraná state, at six concentrations between 0,05 at 5%, the team obtained a three linear results about pheseolin production at Carioca bean (P. vulgaris L. IPR-Colibri variety), increasing the production of phaseolin on every treatments applied. The use of propolis like phytoalexin inductor also was verified by Jaski and coauthors [5252 Jaski JM, Telaxka FJ, Moura GS, Franzener G. Green propolis ethanolic extract in bean plant protection against bacterial diseases. Cienc. Rural. 2019; 49(6).] where these treatment presented a direct correlation between propolis concentration and phaseolin production on common bean with high levels of induction.

Tibatã cultivar and the Vermelho variety presented the highest values for its induction when submitted to the treatment with inductors of biotic and abiotic origin and compared to the other materials evaluated, being necessary to know the genetic characteristics of the plant used to obtain extracts with greater possibility to induce the production of phytoalexins. In order to know major datas about chemical characteristics of the high diversity of these compounds, molecular methods must be applied, thus allowed elucidate the mechanisms involved on biosynthesis and regulation of phytoalexins in front of these inductors.

CONCLUSION

Results from the evaluation of the antifungal activity of AEs from Baccharis sp. specimens collected in the Western Region of Paraná indicate the specie have the capacity to reduce C. lindemuthianum growth.

The Tibatã cultivar and Vermelho variety stand out above the others cultivars about phaseolin production independent of inductor applied. However, the obtained results on the production of phaseolin in hypocotyls of these two selected cultivar and variety indicate the biological treatments B. trimera AEs and C. lindemuthianun filtrate such as a lower phytoalexin inductors to common bean.
