“…Medicinal plant extracts have relatively strong phytotoxicity (Fujii, Shibuya, & Yasuda, 1990). For these reasons, the isolation of phytotoxic compounds from medicinal plants has been widely conducted globally (Fujii, Parvez, Parvez, Ohmae, & Uda, 2003; Mardani, Kazantseva, Onipchenko, & Fujii, 2016; Sunohara, Baba, Matsuyama, Fujimura, & Matsumoto, 2015). The phytotoxic isoprenoid, 1,4‐cineole {1‐methyl‐4‐propan‐2‐yl‐7‐oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane}, isolated from Eucalyptus spp., serves as the lead for the development of the commercial herbicide cinmethylin {(1 S ,2 R ,4 R )‐1‐methyl‐2‐[(2‐methylphenyl)methoxy]‐4‐propan‐2‐yl‐7‐oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane} (Dayan, Romagni, & Duke, 2003), which inhibits a novel target enzyme, fatty acid thioesterase (Campe et al, 2018).…”
