چکیده

One of the most remarkable things about the ancient tree, Ginkgo biloba L., is its resistance to pests and disease (1). Although some effort has been made in the past to find substances in parts of G. biloba L. which might account for this resistance, no success seems to have attended these efforts (2-4). A systematic examination of various parts of G. biloba L. has been undertaken in order to find substances in these parts which may explain the resistance of this tree to disease and pests. In this paper we shall report our results, to date, on the isolation of cu-hexenal from the leaves of G. biloba L. This substance has been found to be an inhibitor of fungi (EDso, 300 p.p.m. in Monilinia fructicola (winter) honey).
