Morphological, ethnopharmacological, biochemical and anti-fungal characteristic of Ceratocephalus falcatus L

The biological control of plant pathogens is a priority for reducing of the dangerous effects of chemical pesticides that are include threats for human health, environmental pollution, and the emergence of pathogens resistant eliminates. Ceratocephalus falcatus L. such a buttercup, plant is very small annual plant, 3-5 cm tall, it has short stems. Plant samples were collected based on completely randomized design with three replications in May 2015 from the village of Buzhmehran (city of Neyshabur) to record of morphological, phytochemical characterization such as total phenol, total flavonoids and antioxidant water extract, methanol and acetone plant the fungus Fusarium graminearum. The number of flowers per plant on average 5 numbers, leaf number was 19 and the plant is 3 cm tall. The total phenol Gallic acid 0/098 mg per gram of dry weight, the flavonoids quercetin 0/302 mg per gram of dry weight and percent free radical scavenging antioxidant activity it was determined 70/618. The effect of the extracts on the fungus Fusarium graminearum were showed that the most-linear growth of mycelium to control the methanol extract had the lowest. As a result, methanol extracts percent more on linear growth inhibition was assessed fungus can be concluded that Ceratocephalus falcatus has antifungal properties and enjoys good standing in study programs.
