Outline of Final Research Achievements

Several herb extracts showed high antifungal and antioxidative functions through in vitro test using 10 Lamiaceae herbs. In addition, such herb extracts suppressed Fusarium disease incidence and severity in symptoms through fungistasis effect. These facts suggest that several secondary metabolites (mainly phenols) in Lamiaceae herbs possese antifungal functions for Fusaria.
