Resistance Induction and Direct Antifungal Activity of Some Monoterpenes against the Causal of Root Rot in Common Bean.

This study was conducted to evaluate eco-friendly control agents (carvone, cuminaldehyde, and linalool) against which causes root rot disease either by induction of defense response or direct antifungal activity. The induction of resistance was examined by detecting the transcription of defense genes and the effect of the tested control agents on the growth and the yield of common bean plants. The growth of was significantly inhibited after treatment with the tested compounds compared to the untreated control under laboratory conditions.
