From: αβ-Dehydrocurvularin isolated from the fungus Aspergillus welwitschiae effectively inhibited the behaviour and development of the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne graminicola in rice roots

Effect of αβ-DC amendment on nematode infection and development under greenhouse conditions. a. Nematodes in each αβ-DC, fosthiazate or fluopyram-amended root system were counted at 14 dpi. Drenching with DMSO solution was used as a control. b. The ratio of nematodes in rice roots at different developmental stages is the value of the numbers of nematodes in different life stages (female or J3/J4) divided by the total numbers of nematodes in roots. c. Nematodes in root galls were stained with acid fuchsin and photographed under a Leica stereomicroscope with a DFC400 camera. The bars in the different graphs represent the mean ± SE of data from three independent biological replicates, each containing 6 individual plants. Different letters indicate statistically significant differences (Duncan’s multiple range test at P ≤ 0.05)
