Ligand effect on controlling the synthesis of branched gold nanomaterials against fusarium wilt diseases.

ABSTRACT: The widespread wilt disease caused by Fusarium solani spp is a pressing problem affecting crop production and intensive farming. Strategic biocontrol of Fusarium solani spp using phytochemical mediated nano-materials is eco-friendly compared to harsh synthetic fungicides. The present study demonstrates the comparative dose effects of QPABA-derived branched gold nanomaterial (AuNF) and quercetin-mediated spherical gold nanoparticles (s-AuNPs) against Fusarium solani spp. Quercetin-para aminobenzoic acid (QPABA) was synthesized using reductive amination by reacting para-aminobenzoic acid with quercetin in an eco-friendly solvent at 25 °C. The structure elucidation was confirmed using ¹H and ¹³C-NMR. TLC analysis showed that QPABA (R
