Abstract
The hydro-distilled essential oils obtained from aerial parts of the wild and cultivated Echinophora tenuifolia subsp. sibthorpiana have been analyzed by GC-MS and screened for antimicrobial activity. In total, 28 compounds representing more than 99% of the oils were identified. α-phellandrene (13.22% and 55.27%), δ-3-carene (49.29% and 4.03%), and methyl eugenol (22.59-25.69%) were found as the main components for the wild and cultivated oils, respectively. EOs of the wild and cultivated plants differed significantly in both the percentage of the main components and antifungal effect. α-phellandrene was more dominant in cultivated plants (55.27%) than in wild ones (13.22%), while δ-3-carene was more abundant in the wild plants (49.29%). In the antifungal assays, both oils displayed moderate to high activity against three phytopathogenic fungi; Fusarium oxysporum, Rhizoctonia solani, and Alternaria alternata.
