Abstract

Allicin analysis of Allium ursinum L. flower and leaf ethanol extracts by LC/MS and in vitrogermination and growth inhibition effects on Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Botrytis paeoniae, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. tulipae, Penicillium gladioli, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were performed. The antifungal activity of the flower extract was stronger than that of the leaf extract, and this was correlated with a higher allicin content.

 

Key words: Allium ursinum, allicin, antifungal, flower extract, leaf extract.
