Antifungal, anti-oomycete and phytotoxic effects of volatile organic compounds from the endophytic fungus<i>Xylaria</i>sp. strain PB3f3 isolated from<i>Haematoxylon brasiletto</i>

Abstract

The genus Xylaria produces a great variety of secondary metabolites, but, up date, there are no reports of the identification of bioactive volatile compounds. Thus, Xylaria sp. PB3f3 and its VOCs are a possible candidate for the biological control of weeds.
