In Vitro Control of Post-Harvest Fruit Rot Fungi by Some Plant Essential Oil Components
Eight substances that are main components of the essential oils from three Mediterranean aromatic plants (Verbena officinalis, Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare), previously found active against some phytopathogenic Fungi and Stramenopila, have been tested in vitro against five etiological agents of post-harvest fruit decay, Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium italicum, P. expansum, Phytophthora c...
متن کاملBioactivity against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus: Nematotoxics from essential oils, essential oils fractions and decoction waters.
The Portuguese pine forest has become dangerously threatened by pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pinewood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. Synthetic chemicals are the most common pesticides used against phytoparasitic nematodes but its use has negative ecological impacts. Phytochemicals may prove to be environmentally friendly alternatives. Essential oils (EOs) and decoction wa...
متن کاملMethods to study the phytochemistry and bioactivity of essential oils.
Many essential oils are extracted, analysed and their main components are identified, characterised and then published without any biological testing whatsoever. Their useful biological activities can remain unknown for years. Yet, the search for these activities often increases our knowledge of the potential use of oils in therapeutics. Therefore, there is a real need for a simple, reliable an...
متن کاملInvestigating the Effects of Plant Essential Oils on Post- Harvest Fruit Decay
Essential oils are one of the most important natural products derived from plants, due to their various biological properties and their medicinal and nutritional uses. This chapter provides an overview of several different aspects relating to essential oils including a his‐ torical perspective, the uses of essential oils, their main sources and antifungal activity, their bioactive single consti...
متن کاملProteins and peptides for the control of phytopathogenic fungi
Plants are exposed to a large number of pathogenic fungi. Although they do not have an immune system, plant have evolved a variety of potent defense mechanisms, including the synthesis of low molecular weight compounds, proteins, and peptides that have antifungal activity. These proteins appear to be involved in either constitutive or induced resistance to fungal attack. Generally, these protei...
