Efficacité des Composés Organiques Volatils fongiques (synthèse bibliographique)

Abstract

Efficacy of fungi Volatile Organic Compounds. A review Introduction. Excessive use of chemical fungicides continues to drive research towards environmentally friendly and innovative alternatives for crop protection. Literature. Fungi produce various mixtures of compounds in the gas phase, called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). They are able to diffuse into the soil and into the atmosphere and inhibit the activities of fungal pathogens. In this section, we will summarize recent knowledge on the inhibitory potential of Volatile Organic Compounds against pathogenic fungi with a focus on the effect of fungal VOCs. In practice, we will unveil initial research revealing their mode of action and any non-specific phytotoxic effects on the environmental microbiome and on plants. Conclusions. This article discusses new techniques used by researchers that focus on mycofumigation to optimize the formulation of a new generation of biofungicides. Thus, a new horizon is emerging for biological control of crop diseases.
