Direct contact and fumigation (in vivo and in vitro)were used to study the fungistatic effect of LEO on Monilinia fructicola. Additionally, the effect on the ultrastructure of cells and the degree of destruction of the cell membrane of M. fructicola were revealed. In addition, the effects of LEO on the expression levels of apoptosis-related genes in M. fructicola cells were detected, and GC-MS was used to analyze the main components of LEO. LEO had a good inhibitory efficacy against M. fructicola in flat peaches, with almost complete growth inhibition at 800 ?L/L. These effects were associated with the leakage of cytoplasmic contents, hyphal distortion, and spore disruption. Moreover, the expression of apoptosis RTG1 and RLM1 genes increased with LEO treatment. These results demonstrate that LEO can inhibit M. fructicola by inducing cytoplasmic membrane damage and cell apoptosis in fungi, and that the major ingredients of LEO are monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, which are presumed to contribute to the inhibitory effects UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j3ZkP_64P0aL-inLH2fU8k__GEWCxJU_/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
