Assessing essential oils from Macaronesia: a study on their efficacy against phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi
Phenylpropanoid-rich EOs, such as Cinnamomum burmannii, Ocimum gratissimum, and S. aromaticum, exhibited the strongest antifungal activity in both bioassays with phytopathogenic and obligate biotrophic fungi. Our results confirm the higher antifungal activity of the phenylpropanoid class of EOs. © 2025 The Author(s).
