Symbiotic Cooperation in the Biosynthesis of a Phytotoxin
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2012Natural products play a key role in symbiotic interactions between microorganisms and higher organisms, covering all kingdoms of life. The function of these secondary metabolites may range from signaling compounds in mutualism to virulence factors and antibiotics in parasitic relationships.

Phytotoxins: Environmental Micropollutants of Concern?
Environmental Science & Technology, 2014Natural toxins such as mycotoxins or phytotoxins (bioactive compounds from fungi and plants, respectively) have been widely studied in food and feed, where they are stated to out-compete synthetic chemicals in their overall human and animal toxicological risk. A similar perception and awareness is yet largely missing for environmental safety.

Phytotoxins as molecular signals
1997It is customary to include under the name of phytotoxins those microbial metabolites that, with the exclusion of enzymes, damage plants at low concentrations. Many plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi produce phytotoxins in culture, but the potential role of these metabolites in pathogenesis has been seldom demonstrated.

Possible Applications of Phytotoxins
1989Usually, when we begin to study a phytotoxin we are primarily interested in determining what its role is in plant disease production. However, once the structure and how it acts have been elucidated or even before, we frequently find that the toxin has utility in other areas, generally because of its unusual specificity — they are in a sense “silver ...

Phytotoxins and Plant Pathogenesis
2001The idea that metabolites produced by pathogens could be detrimental to plants originated from the experiments of de Bary when he succeeded in reproducing soft-rot symptoms by applying a sterile extract from rotten carrots to healthy tissues in 1886. The concept was advanced by Gaumann when he stated that “microorganisms arc pathogenic only if they are

Analytical Methods for Phytotoxins
1992Diseases of plants are caused by many of the same classes of agents responsible for the diseases of man and animals. However, fungi and bacteria are the most important in terms of distribution, diversity, and total damage to plants in the field as well as in storage.

Fusicoccin: Phytotoxin or molecular signal?
2003The following 167-page publication compiles articles submitted during the Toxin Day Workshop held at the University of Rome, Italy (24 May 2004). Experts on toxinology provided discussions on various aspects of toxin biology, giving integrated views on the role and mode of action of these substances.

Publisher Summary The techniques used in this chapter are widely applicable to all bacterial phytotoxins, most intensively used to study toxins produced by Pseudomonus syringae. The phytotoxins produced by plant pathogenic bacteria are non-host specific and cause symptoms on many plants that cannot be infected by the toxin producing pathogen ...
