Studies on the Host-Specific Pathotoxins Produced byHelminthosporium maydis, race T

Year: 1980

Type: article

Abstract: Two host-specific pathotoxins , Band 1-and Band 2-toxins, were isolated from the toxin complex obtained from the culture broth and mycelial mat of Helminthosporium maydis , race T, the fungus causing Southern corn blight disease.Chemical and spectrometric studies showed them to be polyketo-polyhydroxy compounds with C41 carbon chains.Band 2-toxin is identical to Band 1 toxin except that Band 2 toxin has an additional hydroxyl group in place of one of the keto-group of Band 1-toxin
