“…The compositions identified in EOs may vary depending on how they are extracted and where they are collected. [48][49][50] For example, the main compositions of LCEO extracted from both Hebei and Sichuan Province are ligustilide and butylidenephthalide, but the proportion of the same compound varies widely in different provinces. 31,51 The main compositions of LCEO in Shaanxi Province are ligustilide and neocnidilide.…”

BACKGROUNDPeanut stem rot caused by Sclerotium rolfsii is an epidemic disastrous soil‐borne disease. Recently, natural products tend to be safe alternative antifungal agents to combat pathogens.RESULTSThis work determined the preliminary antifungal activity of 29 essential oils against S. rolfsii and found that Ligusticum chuanxiong essential oil (LCEO) showed the best antifungal activity, with an EC50 value of 81.79 mg/L. Sixteen compositions (98.78%) were identified in LCEO by GC‐MS analysis, the major compositions were five phthalides (93.14%). Among these 5 phthalides, butylidenephthalide was the most effective compound against S. rolfsii. Butylidenephthalide not only exhibited favorable in vitro antifungal activity against the mycelial growth, sclerotia production and germination of S. rolfsi, but also presented efficient in vivo efficacy in the control of peanut stem rot. Seven days after application in greenhouse, the protective and curative efficacy of butylidenephthalide at 300 mg/L (52.02%, 44.88%) and LCEO at 1,000 mg/L (49.60%, 44.29%) against S. rolfsii were similar to that of the reference fungicide polyoxin at 300 mg/L (54.61%, 48.28%). Butylidenephthalide also significantly decreased the oxalic acid and polygalacturonase content of S. rolfsii, suggesting a decreased infection ability on plants. Results of biochemical actions indicated that butylidenephthalide did not have any effect on the cell membrane integrity and permeability but significantly decreased nutrient contents, disrupted the mitochondrial membrane, inhibited energy metabolism and induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation of S. rolfsii.CONCLUSIONOur results could provide an important reference for understanding the application potential and mechanisms of butylidenephthalide in the control of S. rolfsii.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Concerning the pesticidal potential of EOs against S. oryzae , many plant species have been tested previously mainly as contact insecticides on filter paper or as fumigants [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. For example, Mentha spicata L., Mentha rotundifolia (L.) Huds., and Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds.…”

“…EOs have been tested on filter paper, killing 95% of S. oryzae after 18 h exposure [ 17 ]. Furthermore, Melaleuca rhaphiophylla Schauer EO was more effective against S. oryzae as a fumigant than by contact [ 21 ]. Of note, only a few studies focus on the utilization of EOs as grain protectants against S. oryzae adults.…”

Essential oil (EO)-based nanoemulsions (NEs) are promising grain protectants in the management of stored-product pests. However, the potential impact of the stored-grain species on the green insecticide effectiveness has been poorly studied. In this study, two concentrations of EO-based NEs from Carlina acaulis L., Mentha longifolia (L.) Huds., and Hazomalania voyronii (Jum.) Capuron were evaluated as insecticides against the major stored-product pest Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on barley, oats, and maize kernels. The C. acaulis EO-based NE applied at 1000 ppm on barley achieved the highest mortality, killing 94.4% of S. oryzae adults after a 7-day exposure, followed by 1000 ppm of H. voyronii EO-based NE (83.3%). The lowest mortality (1.1%) was recorded with 500 ppm of M. longifolia EO-based NE on maize after the same interval. All tested NEs exhibited elevated efficacy when applied on barley, while mortalities were lower on oats and maize. Furthermore, C. acaulis EO-based NE was the most effective when applied on all commodities, followed by H. voyronii and M. longifolia EO-based NEs. Overall, our results highlighted the significant impact of the stored cereal on the insecticidal effectiveness of EO-based NE used for stored-product pest control. Sitophilus oryzae adults on barley can be adequately controlled through the application of C. acaulis and H. voyronii EO-based NEs.

“…The evaluation of the quality and biological properties of EOs has led research to enhance their use in other areas as well, such as the veterinary sector, for the treatment, for example, of diseases characterised by decreased immunity (e.g., caused by forced weaning); that of sustainable agriculture for the identification of molecules with an insectrepellent or biopesticide action with a lower environmental impact; or that of packaging and preservatives by reducing the use of synthetic compounds [8][9][10].…”

A Comparative Study on Chemical Compositions and Biological Activities of Four Amazonian Ecuador Essential Oils: Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae), Cymbopogon citratus (DC.) Stapf, (Poaceae), Ocimum campechianum Mill. (Lamiaceae), and Zingiber officinale Roscoe (Zingiberaceae)

Essential oils (EOs) and their vapour phase of Curcuma longa (Zingiberaceae), Cymbopogon citratus (Poaceae), Ocimum campechianum (Lamiaceae), and Zingiber officinale (Zingiberaceae) of cultivated plants grown in an Amazonian Ecuador area were chemically characterised by Gas Chromatography-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID), Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and Head Space–Gas Chromatograph-Flame Ionization Detector–Mass Spectrometry (HS-GC-FID-MS).figure The EOs analyses led to the identification of 25 compounds for C. longa (99.46% of the total; ar-turmerone: 23.35%), 18 compounds for C. citratus (99.59% of the total; geraniol: 39.43%), 19 compounds for O. campechianum (96.24% of the total; eugenol: 50.97%), and 28 for Z. officinale (98.04% of the total; α-Zingiberene: 15.45%). The Head Space fractions (HS) revealed C. longa mainly characterised by limonene and 1,8-cineole (37.35%) and α-phellandrene (32.33%); Z. officinale and C. citratus showed camphene (50.39%) and cis-Isocitral (15.27%) as the most abundant compounds, respectively. O. campechianum EO revealed a higher amount of sesquiterpenes (10.08%), mainly characterised by E-caryophyllene (4.95%), but monoterpene fraction remained the most abundant (89.94%). The EOs were tested for antioxidant, antimicrobial, and mutagen-protective properties and compared to the Thymus vulgaris EO as a positive reference. O. campechianum EO was the most effective in all the bioactivities checked. Similar results emerged from assaying the bioactivity of the vapour phase of O. campechianum EO. The antioxidant and antimicrobial activity evaluation of O. campechianum EO were repeated through HP-TLC bioautography assay, pointing out eugenol as the lead compound for bioactivity. The mutagen-protective evaluation checked through Ames’s test properly modified evidenced a better capacity of O. campechianum EO compared with the other EOs, reducing the induced mutagenicity at 0.1 mg/plate. However, even with differences in efficacy, the overall results suggest important perspectives for the functional use of the four studied EOs.
