The essential oil (EO) was extracted from aerial parts with insecticidal and fungicidal activity. Herein, the hydro-distilled essential oils of H. Wolff roots were determined by GC-MS. A total of 37 components were identified, ()-beta-caryophyllene (10.49%), -geranylgeranyl (6.64%), ()-2-decenal (6.17%) and germacrene-D (4.28%). The essential oil of H. Wolff had nematicidal toxicity against with a LC value of 53.45 μg/mL. The subsequent bioassay-guided investigation led to the isolation of three active constituents: falcarinol, ()-2-decenal, and octanoic acid. The falcarinol demonstrated the strongest toxicity against (LC = 8.52 μg/mL). The octanoic acid and ()-2-decenal also exhibited moderate toxicity against (LC = 65.56 and 176.34 μg/mL, respectively). The LC of falcarinol for the toxicity of was 7.7 and 21 times than that of octanoic acid and ()-2-decenal, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that the essential oil from H. Wolff roots and their isolates may be developed as a promising natural nematicide.

Future Food Laboratory, Innovation Center of Yangtze River Delta, Zhejiang University, Jiaxing, Zhejiang 314100, China; Department of Biomedical Science, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon, Gangwon 24341, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

This study was designed to evaluate the combined antimicrobial activity of selected phage cocktail (MS2+T7 phages) and essential oils (cinnamon, clove, oregano, and thymol) against Escherichia coli ATCC 15597. To select most effective phages, the lytic abilities of individual phages (MS2, phiX174, and T7) and their phage combinations were assessed using the phage spot test and plaque assay at various multiplicity of infections (MOIs) ranging from 0.01 to 100.
