Plant-virus infection inhibitors: The great potential of Caryophyllales species

Abstract

Caryophyllales is one of the largest orders in eudicots and comprises 39 families with approximately 12,500 species. Although extracts from species of this order have been considered potential inhibitors of plant virus infection since the early 20th century, few species have actually been investigated. In this review, we present an exhaustive analysis of published papers that investigate this inhibitory effect, organized into one table with more than 100 species.Caryophyllales
