Inhibition of Satellite RNA Associated Cucumber Mosaic Virus Infection by Essential Oil of <i>Micromeria croatica</i> (Pers.) Schott

The present results dealing with the antiphytoviral activity of essential oil indicate that these plant metabolites can trigger a response to viral infection. The essential oil from <i>Micromeria croatica</i> and the main oil components &#946;-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide we...

description The present results dealing with the antiphytoviral activity of essential oil indicate that these plant metabolites can trigger a response to viral infection. The essential oil from <i>Micromeria croatica</i> and the main oil components &#946;-caryophyllene and caryophyllene oxide were tested for antiphytoviral activity on plants infected with satellite RNA associated cucumber mosaic virus. Simultaneous inoculation of virus with essential oil or with the dominant components of oil, and the treatment of plants prior to virus inoculation, resulted in a reduction of virus infection in the local and systemic host plants. Treatment with essential oil changed the level of alternative oxidase gene expression in infected Arabidopsis plants indicating a connection between the essential oil treatment, <i>aox</i> gene expression and the development of viral infection.
