Key Finding
Researchers investigated the antifungal action of 2-ethylhexanol against Botrytis cinerea. Growth, physiological, and metabolomic evidence indicated disruption of sugar and amino-acid metabolism, supporting a mechanistic basis for fungal inhibition and the compound’s potential use in controlling postharvest gray mold.
Countstar Connection
The Countstar Mira FL Pro measured Botrytis cinerea spore concentration so conidial suspensions could be adjusted consistently for antifungal experiments.
