Fungal Phytotoxins: Biosynthesis and Activity

  • Chapter
Plant Relationships

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 5))

Abstract

Many filamentous fungi produce compounds that adversely affect the growth and development of plants. Determining the importance of these phytotoxic compounds in plant/fungal interactions has proven to be an extremely difficult task. Although research on fungal phytotoxins spans almost a century, it is only within the past few years that their role in plant disease has been unambiguously demonstrated. This chapter will focus on recent progress in characterizing the maromolecular aspects of fungal phytotoxin biosynthesis, which, together with advances in fungal molecular genetics, have provided powerful new approaches for investigating the significance of phytotoxins in plant/fungal interactions. A number of reviews covering phytotoxin biosynthesis, isolation, structure, and mechanism of action have been published over the past 15 years (Scheffer 1983; Mitchell 1984; Knoche and Duvick 1987). The reader is directed to the excellent review by Stoessl (1984) for a comprehensive account of fungal phytotoxin biosynthesis.
