Implication

In vitro study demonstrates Fusarium foetens volatile organic compounds inhibit Ganoderma boninense growth by up to 60%, suggesting a viable biological control approach for basal stem rot.

Key Points

Evaluate the biocontrol potential and chemical composition of volatile organic compounds produced by an indigenous Fusarium foetens strain against Ganoderma boninense.
Conducted disc vapour assays to measure the growth inhibition of Ganoderma boninense exposed to Fusarium foetens volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Characterized major VOC constituents by relative peak area and examined pathogen cell morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
Performed molecular docking simulations with PyRx to assess the binding affinity of dominant VOCs to the virulence protein xyloglucan-specific endo-beta-1,4-glucanase (XEG).
F. foetens VOCs inhibited G. boninense mycelial growth by up to 60% in disc vapour assays, with SEM showing marked cell wall damage and internal disruption.
Identified four dominant VOCs: 2,3-pyrazinedicarboximide (15.54%), 2-(2-butoxyethoxy) ethyl thiocyanate (11.43%), 3,5-dimethoxyphenol (11.40%), and indolylmethylthiohydroximate (5.56%).
Docking simulations demonstrated that 2,3-pyrazinedicarboximide and indolylmethylthiohydroximate exhibited binding affinities to XEG comparable to the reference fungicide hexaconazole.
