Most AAL Toxin-Sensitive Nicotiana Species are Resistant to the Tomato Fungal Pathogen Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
The phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata f. sp. lycopersici produces AAL toxins required to colonize susceptible tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. AAL toxins and fumonisins of the unrelated fungus Fusarium moniliforme are sphinganine-analog

The impact of genome evolution on the allotetraploid Nicotiana rustica – an intriguing story of enhanced alkaloid production

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Nicotiana rustica (Aztec tobacco), like common tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), is an allotetraploid formed through a recent hybridization event; however, it originated from completely different progenitor species.
