Effect of three antitranspirant films on Botrytis cinerea activities in vitro
1996
Nasraoui, B. | Barbier, A. | Lepoivre, P.
This work deals with the effect of the antitranspirant films Folicote, Nu Film P and Vapor Gard on Botrytis cinerea activities in vitro Vapor Gard was fungitoxic to the conidial germination and the mycelial growth of the fungus when it was incorporated to the medium. However, as a film, it did not prevent the penetration of the fungus in the medium. In contrast, Folicote and Nu Film P have no fungitoxic effect. Furthermore, Nu Film P enhanced the fungal extracellular esterase activity induced by juniperic acid. This enzyme release was nullified by Folicote. Mode of action hypotheses related to cutinase released by fungi to penetrate plant cuticle was discussed
