Other claims from this paper (8)
- Method / resource The optimized extraction method yielded 3.38-fold more Ligusticum jeholense essential oil than conventional extraction.
- Observation Ligusticum jeholense essential oil had consistent chemical composition across production batches.
- Intervention effect LEO showed in vitro antifungal activity against A. alternata with IC₅₀ of 0.0718 μL/mL.
- Intervention effect LEO significantly inhibited lesion expansion in tomato fruit in vivo.
- Intervention effect LEO suppressed alternariol and tenuazonic acid accumulation in tomato fruit in vivo.
- Mechanism LEO disrupted fungal membrane integrity and interfered with energy metabolism, suggesting a multi-target antifungal mechanism.
- Mechanism LEO induced fungal oxidative stress, suggesting a multi-target antifungal mechanism.
- Observation Acute toxicity assessment in mice supported LEO safety.
