Abstract
This study aimed to determine the chemical composition of essential oils from A. gratíssima, O. basilicum, S. microphylla, T. riparia, and T. vulgaris and their antioxidant and antifungal activities against Alternaria alternata strains. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry revealed that the major components of the essential oils were terpenes. The essential oils of S. microphylla and T. riparia showed higher antioxidant activities than the others. The essential oils of S. microphylla and T. riparia inhibited the growth of the fungus at 3.10 and 6.05 µL/mL, respectively. The essential oil of T. riparia inhibited 93.9% of the growth of the fungus and showed the highest in vivo efficiency in severity reduction (76.2%). We conclude that the essential oil of T. riparia shows promising antifungal activity and is an environmentally safe alternative for controlling fungal diseases in vegetables.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Natural Product Research is to publish important contributions in the field of natural product chemistry. The journal covers all aspects of research in the chemistry and biochemistry of naturally occurring compounds.
The communications include coverage of work on natural substances of land and sea and of plants, microbes and animals. Discussions of structure elucidation, synthesis and experimental biosynthesis of natural products as well as developments of methods in these areas are welcomed in the journal. Finally, research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary, eg. fermentation chemistry, plant tissue culture investigations etc., are accepted into the journal.
Natural Product Research issues will be subtitled either ""Part A - Synthesis and Structure"" or ""Part B - Bioactive Natural Products"". for details on this , see the forthcoming articles section.
All manuscript submissions are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
