Citronellal Exerts Its Antifungal Activity by Targeting Ergosterol Biosynthesis in <i>Penicillium digitatum</i>

Citronellal Exerts Its Antifungal Activity by Targeting Ergosterol Biosynthesis in <i>Penicillium digitatum</i>

Ergosterol (ERG) is a potential target for the development of antifungal agents against <i>Penicillium digitatum</i>, the pathogen of green mold in citrus fruits. This study examined the mechanism by which citronellal, a typical terpenoid of <i>Cymbopogon nardus</i> essential...
