Antifungal effects of
Conyza bonariensis
(L.) Cronquist essential oil against pathogenic
Colletotrichum musae
and its incorporation in gum Arabic coating to reduce anthracnose development in banana during storage
Abstract:Aim
This study evaluated the inhibitory effects on mycelial growth and damage on membrane integrity and enzymatic activity caused by Conyza bonariensis essential oil (CBEO) on distinct pathogenic Colletotrichum musae isolates, as well as the preventive and curative effects of coatings with gum Arabic (GA) and CBEO to reduce anthracnose development in banana during room temperature storage. The effects of GA‐CBEO coatings on some physicochemical parameters of banana were investigated during room temperature sto… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
