subjectAbstract

Methanol extracts of the thalloid liverwort Targionia hypophylla L., a thalloid liverwort (bryophyte), was found to be effective against five plant pathogenic fungi: Aspergillus niger, Botrytis cinerea, Trichoderma viridae, Penicillium chrysogenum, and Penicillium expansum. In vitro antifungal activity was assessed by micro dilution method, which exhibit total or strong inhibition on Trichoderma viridae and Botrytis cinerea growth. These results confirm the antifungal activities in liverwort extracts.
