Fungal phytotoxins as mediators of virulence
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2009Many phytopathogenic fungi exert their destructive effects by producing and secreting toxic low molecular weight compounds. In the past years a large number of novel fungal virulence factors and their modes of action have been identified. This review highlights effective phytotoxin-mediated strategies to distress, weaken or kill the plant host.

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

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 produced byTubakia dryina
Mycopathologia, 1992Tubakia dryina, the causal agent of red oak (Quercus rubra) leaf spot, produced the phytotoxins isosclerone, 3-hydroxyisosclerone, 6-hydroxyisosclerone and 6-hydroxymellein in liquid culture. All toxins caused large necrosis when placed on leaves of red oak. Necrosis was also caused on white oak and eight different weed species.

More chemistry of the thaxtomin phytotoxins
Phytochemistry, 2003Chemical and biochemical studies indicated the possible involvement of N-acetyltryptophan and 4-nitrotryptophan as intermediates in biosynthesis of the thaxtomin phytotoxins. A search for other potential pathways indirectly resulted in the identification of three unusual thaxtomin analogues derived from the o-thaxtomin A isomer.

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.

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.
