Combined effect of thyme and clove phenolic compounds on Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris and biocontrol of black rot disease on cabbage seeds

ABSTRACT: The seed-borne bacterium Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc) as a causal organism of black rot disease remains the most serious bacterial problem of agricultural production of cruciferous plants worldwide. The eradication of a primary inoculum originating in seeds is available, but no treatment is totally effective. With the threat of developing chemical resistance and increasing pressure for sustainable disease management, biocontrol methods represent one of the main strategies currently applied in agriculture. Natural antimicrobials, including essential oils, are promising tools in disease management with low risks of environmental pollution and impact on human health. Thyme and clove essential oils were demonstrated to be highly effective in Xanthomonas studies in vitro; therefo
