| Abstract | ||||
| Allelochemicals disintegrate more readily and tend to pose less of a risk to non-target organisms, making them a safer, less intrusive, and ecologically friendly alternative to conventional pest management methods. The production of allelochemicals with algicidal properties was demonstrated in this research. Methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane and pet-ether extracts of Withania somnifera were used to inhibit the growth of Cylindrotheca closterium. The results demonstrated that C. closterium growth in the hexane extract of W. somnifera showed a decreasing trend, peaking at 0.021 at 0 minutes and decreasing to 0.009 after 120 minutes. After being exposed to W. somnifera hexane extract, algal cells shrank in size and took on a pale, nearly colorless appearance. In addition, the cell wall shrank and became irregular. The results demonstrated the primary ingredient in several extracts was different fatty acids. The primer (5'd[GGTGCGGGAA]-3') that was applied had the highest polymorphism and reflected 71% of the genetic variation for C. closterium after it was exposed to four solvents containing W. somnifera extract as the active component. In contemporary research, the emphasis is largely on with molecular and genetic pathways receiving significant attention. In contrast, micro-perspectives including gene expression studies are comparatively rare.
