Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pesticide intermediate technology, specifically relating to a new class of diterpenoid derivatives and their preparation methods and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Allelochemicals are non-nutritive substances produced within organisms that can influence the growth, health, behavior, or social dynamics of other plants. Allelochemicals act as the mediators of allelopathic processes and are primarily secondary metabolites of plants. The mediators of plant allelopathic processes are chemical substances, known as "allelochemicals." The chemical substances produced by plants that affect the growth, behavior, and population biology of other organisms include not only those between plants but also those between plants and animals. Moreover, these chemical substances can occur within the plant itself without needing to enter the environment. It has been found that many allelochemicals affect not only plants but also microorganisms, animals, and especially insects.

[0003] Rice is my country's most important food crop, and weeds in paddy fields can reduce rice yields by 40%-60%. The use of chemical herbicides is a common method for weed control in paddy fields. However, the large-scale use of herbicides and the increasing dosage year by year have led to the "3R" problem: increasing weed resistance, pesticide residues, and rampant weed resurgence. Rice seed husks, the outer layer of rice grains, are the largest byproduct in rice processing, accounting for approximately 20% of the rice grain by weight. Extensive research on the comprehensive utilization of rice seed husks has been conducted both domestically and internationally for a long time, resulting in many usable pathways. Recent studies have shown that rice seed husks contain a large number of diterpenoid monomeric compounds, which possess certain allelopathic activities. Therefore, using modern separation techniques to deeply extract natural products with enhanced allelopathic activity from rice seed husks and using these as precursors to develop novel herbicides provides a theoretical basis for the further effective utilization of rice seed husks and has good practical application value. Summary of the Invention

[0052] (2) Experimental methods

[0053] The selected plant seeds were sterilized with 10% hydrogen peroxide for 5 minutes, then rinsed 5 times with sterile water and drained. The sterilized plant seeds were spread evenly on a moist petri dish (lined with two layers of filter paper), and then the petri dish was placed in a constant temperature and humidity incubator (temperature set to 25℃) until they sprouted white buds.

[0054] Secondary metabolite I was diluted with sterile water to prepare solutions with concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 μg / mL. Two layers of filter paper were placed in each petri dish, and solutions of different concentrations of secondary metabolite I were added to each dish until the filter paper was completely moistened (5 ml). Fifteen seedlings with uniform germination were selected from each petri dish, and the process was repeated three times. The control group consisted of plants cultured in sterile water. After culturing in a light incubator (25℃, 12 h / d), the root length and seedling height were measured. The growth inhibition rate was calculated using the following formula:

[0055] Growth inhibition rate (%) = [(Control growth - Treatment growth) / Control growth] × 100

[0056] The control growth was the growth of plants cultured in sterile water, while the treatment growth was the growth of seeds of each plant after the addition of different concentrations of secondary metabolite I.
