| Description |
The present reviewed work on antifungal properties
of EOs against following fungal pathogens of
anthracnose disease is critically appraised over the period of
last 16 years (2000–2016) that encompass both etiology and
epidemiology of anthracnose in tropical fruits; current status
of the main EOs and their specific volatile compounds such
as terpenes, aromatic compounds, nitrogenous compounds
were identified for their antifungal properties, when used at
specific minimum inhibition concentration against species of
the Colletotrichum genera of anthracnose disease; mechanisms
of action of these major EOs for their antifungal
activity were discussed. The major inferences drawn from
this critical appraisal reviewed are the antifungal properties
and the good fumigant nature of the above-mentioned
essential oils and their specific volatile compounds from
various plant species that inhibits postharvest fungal growth
of Colletotrichum species such as Colletotrichum
gloeosporioides Penz., Colletotrichum acutatum Colletotrichum
fragaria, Colletotrichum musae of anthracnose
disease in different tropical fruits in in vitro conditions. Till
now, the researchers of the reported work reviewed did not
pay attention toward further characterization of bioactive
molecules with antifungal properties either from these listed
EOs or their specific bioactive compounds. No cited work
reported on in vitro screening and testing for their individual
and synergistic effects even on in vivo testing their efficacies
as the biochemical fungicide against said pathogenic fungal
species of anthracnose. This reviewed knowledge on above
topic could be used as future research tools to trace out the
biochemical fungicides from various medicinal and aromatic
plant sources as the alternative to synthetic chemical
fungicides.
