Abstract EN

In the last decades, the use of fungicides in agriculture for fungi diseases control has become crucial.

Fungicide research has produced a diverse range of products with novel modes of action.

However, the extensive use of these compounds in the agriculture system raises public concern because of the harmful potential of such substances in the environment and human health.

Moreover, the phytotoxic effects of some fungicides are already recognized but little is known about the impact of these compounds on the photosynthetic apparatus.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the literature considering different classes of fungicides and their effects on plant physiology, with particular emphasis on photosynthesis.
