Origanum dictamnus Oil Vapour Suppresses the Development of Grey Mould in Eggplant Fruit In Vitro
Table 1
The experimental design of the volatiles impacts of dittany essential oil (DIT; 0–50–100–250 μL/L) on gray mould (Botrytis cinerea) development in vitro (PDA medium) or in vivo (eggplant fruit). In sustained vapour enrichment, fruits (or plates) were inoculated with B. cinerea and then exposed to vapours. A second sample of fruits (or plates) was preexposed to vapours, inoculated with fungi, and transferred/stored to “ambient air” (AA; control). Treatments were maintained throughout at 12°C and 95% RH.
