(-)-Bornyl acetate (L-(-)-Bornyl acetate), isolated from hyssop oil, is a less active enantiomer of (+)-Bornyl acetate. It possesses antifungal activity. In research, it has been observed that wavy roots from seedlings exposed to (-)-bornyl acetate are significantly longer than those exposed to ()-bornyl acetate. When applied individually to barley seedlings, (-)-bornyl acetate reduced powdery mildew infection compared to controls.
