“…Likewise, Kamatou and Viljoen (2010) have reviewed several aromatic plants with a high content in this compound including Eremanthus erythropappus, Smyrniopsis aucheri and Salvia runcinata. In addition, a possible larvicidal activity of the essential oil of Plinia cerrocampanensis against the yellow fever mosquito Aedes aegypti (Dpitera: Culicidae) has been related to this compound since it is the major component of the oil (Vila et al, 2010). Salamon et al (2016) have suggested different breeding programs to develop…”

Essential oil terpenes are secondary metabolites produced in different biological pathways as pollinator attraction signals, but also as defense mechanisms against insect pests, herbivores, microorganisms, competing plants, etc. In this context, we have evaluated a total of 24 terpenes commonly found in Mediterranean aromatic plants, including 8 monoterpene hydrocarbons, 9 oxygenated monoterpenes, 2 esterified monoterpenes, 3 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and 2 oxygenated sesquiterpenes in order to determine their antifeedant effects on the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), a major pest of potato crops. Terpene hydrocarbons showed low antifeedant activity, whereas the oxygenated sesquiterpene (-)-α-bisabolol with an inhibition activity of 96.3% was the most active, followed by carvacrol (90.9%), (+)-Terpinen-4-ol (87.1%) and thymol (81.5%). Other terpenes like (1S)-(-)-verbenone (72.9%), (+/-)-camphor (63.4%) and linalyl acetate (60.7%) showed moderate activity. Subsequently, terpenes showing antifeedant activity against this insect were also tested in allelopathic assays to determine potential damage to the crops. Results showed phytotoxic effects for (1S)-(-)-verbenone on Lactuca sativa germination, and for carvacrol on both the seed germination and the leaf and root growth of Lolium perenne. In conclusion, (-)-α-bisabolol is the best option to develop natural antifeedant formulations against L. decemlineata on the basis of its high antifeedant and low phytotoxic activities.

Paenibacillus larvae is one of the major bacterial pathogens of honey bee broods and the causative agent of American foulbrood disease. The factors responsible for the pathogenesis of American foulbrood disease are still not fully understood, and the increasing resistance of P. larvae to commonly used antibiotics necessitates a search for new agents to control this disease. The in vitro antibacterial activities of 28 plant essential oils against P. larvae ATCC 9545 were evaluated. Out of the 28 plant essential oils tested, 20 were found to be effective in killing P. larvae. Based on their minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values, the effective oils were grouped into three categories: highly effective, moderately effective and minimally effective. Jamaica pepper oil, mountain pepper oil, ajwain oil, corn mint oil, spearmint oil, star anise oil, nutmeg oil and camphor oil were highly effective, with MBC values between 162.0 and 375.0 mg/mL. Jamaica pepper oil was the most effective essential oil, with an MBC value of 162.0 mg/mL. The results of the time-response effect assays showed that no viable P. larvae cells were observed after 24 h of treatment with Jamaica pepper oil (162.0 mg/mL), 36 h of treatment with mountain pepper oil (186.0 mg/mL), 48 h of treatment with ajwain oil (224.8 mg/mL) or 48 h of treatment with oxytetracycline (5.89 mg/mL). The tested essential oils exhibited significant antimicrobial activities against P. larvae, and they may contain compounds that could play an important role in the treatment or prevention of American foulbrood disease.
