Nematicidal activity of natural ester compounds and their analogues against pine wood nematode, bursaphelenchus xylophilus

In this study, we evaluated the nematicidal activity of natural ester compounds against the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, to identify candidates for the development of novel, safe nematicides. We also tested the nematicidal activity of synthesized analogues of these ester compounds to determine the structure-activity relationship. Among 28 ester compounds tested, isobutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl tiglate, 3-methyl-2-butenyl 2- methylbutanoate, and pentyl 2-methylbutanoate showed strong nematicidal activity against the pine wood nematode at a 1 mg/ mL concentration. The other ester compounds showed weak nematicidal activity. The LC50 values of 3-methylbutyl tiglate, isobutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl 2-methylbutanoate, 3-methyl-2-butenyl 2-methylbutanoate, and pentyl 2- methylbutanoate were 0.0218, 0.0284, 0.0326, 0.0402, and 0.0480 mg/mL, respectively. The ester compounds described herein merit further study as potential nematicides for pine wood nematode control.

Compositions related to a novel endophytic fungi and methods of use

This invention provides pesticidally effective compositions related to a novel endophytic fungi named Muscodor. Specifically, the invention relates to commercially useful formulations of Muscodor and methods for preparing such formulations. It also provides various synthetic pesticidal mixtures of volatile organic compounds isolatable from Muscodor grown on various substrates. Also provided are methods for inhibiting the growth of organisms, such as microbes, insects, and nematodes by exposing such organisms or the habitats thereof to the above Muscodor-related compositions.
