In order to further evaluate the activity of this compound against plant bacterial pathogens and explore its potential value as a bactericidal lead compound, the activity of 3-CCA against 14 plant pathogenic bacteria and was tested. Results showed that 3-CCA exhibited strong activities against pv.

In this study, two compounds were obtained from the Chinese endemic plant using bioassay-guided fractionation. Based on analyses of H-NMR, C-NMR, and mass spectral data, the isolated compounds were identified as 4-allylbenzene-1,2-diol and (S)-4-allyl-5-(1-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)allyl)benzene-1,2-diol.

The results demonstrated that α-MG had a relatively high in vitro inhibitory activity against among 20 plant pathogenic fungi. The median effective concentration (EC) values of α-MG against mycelial growth were nearly 10 times higher than those of spore germination inhibition for both strains of , the carbendazim-sensitive () and carbendazim-resistant ().

Identification of plant-pathogenic fungi is time-consuming due to cultivation and microscopic examination and can be influenced by the interpretation of the micro-morphological characters observed. The present investigation aimed to create a simple but sophisticated method for the identification of plant-pathogenic fungi by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In this study, FTIR-attenuated total reflectance (ATR) spectroscopy was used in combination with chemometric analysis for identification of important pathogenic fungi of horticultural plants.
