Rutaceae are widely used in ethnomedicine to treat infectious diseases in humans and plants. In this study, the antifungal activity of the leaf essential oil (VEO) and its main components, citral and citronellol, was evaluated against six phytopathogenic fungi. In addition, the possible action of VEO on the synthesis of mycotoxins was evaluated as well. To determine the antifungal activity of VEO we used the agar dilution method and VEO showed inhibitory activity against all the tested fungi. In particular, VEO resulted to be fungicidal against and . For all other fungi VEO exhibited fungistatic activity and the weakest effect was observed on . Citral was very effective against , , and . On the other hand, citronellol showed good activity towards and and weaker activity towards and . It can be concluded that VEO can be considered a promising antifungal agent, especially against and suggesting a possible use in the formulation of new selective and natural fungicides.
芸香科植物在民族医学中被广泛用于治疗人类和植物的传染病。在本研究中,评估了叶精油(VEO)及其主要成分柠檬醛和香茅醇对六种植物病原真菌的抗真菌活性。此外,还评估了VEO对霉菌毒素合成的可能作用。为了确定VEO的抗真菌活性,我们使用了琼脂稀释法,VEO对所有测试真菌均表现出抑制活性。特别是,VEO对[两种真菌名称未给出]具有杀菌作用。对于所有其他真菌,VEO表现出抑菌活性,对[一种真菌名称未给出]的作用最弱。柠檬醛对[四种真菌名称未给出]非常有效。另一方面,香茅醇对[两种真菌名称未给出]表现出良好活性,对[两种真菌名称未给出]活性较弱。可以得出结论,VEO可被认为是一种有前途的抗真菌剂,特别是对[两种真菌名称未给出],这表明其可能用于新型选择性天然杀菌剂的配方中。
