Plant pathogens are responsible for economic losses in agricultural productivity, and pesticides are being phased out across Europe, North America and other parts of the world due to environmental and human health concerns. Hence, sustainable strategies are a top priority for the management of pathogens. Different parts of the plant are known to produce natural antimicrobial compounds, such as camalexin, which can be used to control fungal, bacterial, nematode, viral and insect pests in an ecofriendly way. This review compiles data demonstrating the efficacy of camalexin against harmful pathogens and pests. This chemical acts as a fungistatic, fungicidal, bactericidal, insecticidal, nematocidal, antiviral and cytotoxic compound in a concentration‐dependent manner, primarily demonstrated in in vitro conditions. We also highlight investigations on the influence of camalexin on beneficial microbiota, suggesting a need for more research on non‐target microbiota. Future research is essential for elucidating the mechanisms underlying camalexin biosynthesis, toxicity and regulatory pathways, thereby revealing its potential as a sustainable crop protection strategy. 10.1111/ppa.70039 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
