Effects of Origanum vulgare essential oil and its two main components, carvacrol and thymol, on the plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea

Abstract: Background Botrytis cinerea causes serious gray mold disease in many plants. This pathogen has developed resistance to many fungicides. Thus, it has become necessary to look for new safe yet effective compounds against B. cinerea. Methods Essential oils (EOs) from 17 plant species were assayed against B. cinerea, of which Origanum vulgare essential oil (OVEO) showed strong antifungal activity, and accordingly its main components were detected by GC/MS. Further study was conducted on the effects of OVEO, carv… Show more

“…Previous research is in concordance with our results. The cassia and oregano EOs completely inhibited the mycelial growth of B. cinerea at 0.5 mg/mL, and concentrations of 250 mg/mL thymol and 300 mg/mL carvacrol inhibited completely its spore germination [ 80 ]. Additionally, the growth of B. cinerea was completely inhibited by cassia [ 81 ], oregano, and rosemary essential oils [ 82 ].…”
