The proposed research at Carleton University will examine the potential applications for berberine as an antimicrobial for use in horticulture and greenhouse industries. As briefly described under "Research Project" below, the research has 3 primary goals: 1) to determine the antimicrobial efficacy of berberine against selected plant pathogens with comparisons to and in combination with commercial antimicrobials, 2) to evaluate the diversity of plant pathogenic species that are susceptible to berberine, and 3) to quantify the effect of berberine on the growth and development of diverse plant species. The primary commercial objectives of the study are to assess the potential value of berberine to: 1) prevent or remediate microbial contamination in tissue culture media and hydroponics, 2) act as an 'organic' seed dressing to protect against seed storage losses and damping-off disease in germinated seedlings, and 3) inhibit foliar and root-associated pathogens.

卡尔顿大学的这项研究将研究黄连素作为一种抗菌剂在园艺和温室工业中的潜在应用。正如下面“研究项目”中所简要描述的，该研究有3个主要目标：1）确定小檗碱对选定植物病原体的抗菌功效，并与商业抗菌剂进行比较和组合，2）评估对小檗碱敏感的植物病原体物种的多样性，以及3）量化小檗碱对不同植物物种生长和发育的影响。该研究的主要商业目的是评估小檗碱的潜在价值：1）预防或修复组织培养基和水培中的微生物污染，2）作为“有机”拌种剂，以防止种子储存损失和发芽幼苗中的立枯病，3）抑制叶和根相关病原体。
