Im vitro antifungal activity of essential oils obtained from officinal plants against dermatophytes2009 •
... Of the tested oils, those obtained from Cinnamomum qylanicum, Ocimum gra-tissimum, Cymbopogon citratus, Eugenia unzflora and Alpinia speciosa were found to be the most active, inhibiting 80% of the dermatophyte strains tested and producing inhibition zones more than ...

Present control technologies of plant pathogenic fungi decouple the pathogen's life cycle mainly in two points of ontogeny, either by destroying spores prevent the infection or inhibit the biotrophic thallus, thus anticipating the formation of new infective propagules. Although, nowadays, the only tool for credible control of cultivated plants is the use of synthetic chemicals, the calculability of yield sureness has been worldwide threatened by the emergence of acquired tolerance to this group of pesticides as well as anxious feelings for their undesirable side effects. This situation urges the development of efficient alternative control agents, as threatening the net return even 10% disease incidence can cause economic loss. One approach to discover newer antimicrobial compounds is to search for their presence in natural sources exploiting the defense strategies of plants against their pathogens. Contrary to phytoalexins that are synthesized de novo after the plant is exposed to microbial attack, i.e., being produced in response of elicitors or stressors, the phytoanticipins are not formed in the tissue or released from preexisting plant constituents. These substances are plant antibiotics presented in tissue prior to infection, serving as the basis of pest tolerance. Several thousands of such molecules of different structure have been identified; however, few of them met practical application. In this chapter, we focus on constitutive mechanisms that might be used for controlling phy-topathogenic fungi with special regard to organic substances, which might serve either as botanical fungicides or as lead compounds for molecular design.
Apple production is largely affected by the fungi Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and C. acutatum, causal agents of fruit bitter rot. Economic losses account for 30-80%. Colletotrichum spp. are the most destructive if the infection occurs after harvest and storage. The disease is managed by fungicide application during the season. Due to increased concern for human health and the environment, as well as to problems with pathogen resistance development, eco-friendly alternatives to chemical control measures, such as essential oils, became the object of many researches. The aim of the study was to investigate which essential oils have a potential to be used as control agents against Colletotrichum spp. Effects of volatile phase of 56 essential oils on C. gloeosporioides and C. acutatum were investigated. For both fungal species, oregano oils A, B, C and D were fungicidal at rates ranging from 0.02 to 0.04 μl/ml of air, and oregano oil E at rate of 0.08 μl/ml of air. Minimum inhibitory ...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antifungal activity of essential oil (EO) of Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. against five Fusarium spp. commonly associated with maize. The essential oil had been extracted by steam distillation in a modified Clevenger-type apparatus from leaves of E. camaldulensis and their chemical composition characterized by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Poisoned food technique was used to determine the percentage inhibition of mycelial growth, minimum inhibitory concentration, and minimum fungicidal concentration of the EO on the test pathogens. Antifungal activity of different concentrations of the EO was evaluated using disc diffusion method. The most abundant compounds identified in the EO were 1,8-cineole (16.2%), í µí»¼-pinene (15.6%), í µí»¼-phellandrene (10.0%), and p-cymene (8.1%). The EO produced complete mycelial growth inhibition in all the test pathogens at a concentration of 7-8 í µí¼L/mL after five days of incubation. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum fungicidal concentration of the EO on the test fungi were in the range of 7-8 í µí¼L/mL and 8–10 í µí¼L/mL, respectively. These findings confirm the fungicidal properties of E. camaldulensis essential oils and their potential use in the management of economically important Fusarium spp. and as possible alternatives to synthetic fungicides.
