Helminthosporium: Secondary Metabolites, Southern Leaf Blight of Corn, and Biology
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recent outbreak of the southern corn blight is caused by race T of fIel1l1intlzosporiulIl lIlaydis, a species in the fungus genus Hel1l1intlzosporiU1I1 which consists of about 175 species, worldwide in distribution, on grasses. Three species of HellllintlzosporiulIl-H. lIlaydis, H. turciculIl, and H. carbonUIIl-attack corn and are placed in the genus Bipolaris. The southern corn blight fungus has an asexual stage and a sexual stage, Coclzliobolus Izeterostroplllls or Oplziobolus Izeterostroplzus. Names of the sexual and asexual stages and synonyms of the

متن کاملEffects of Purified Helminthosporium maydis Race T Toxin on the Structure and Function of Corn Mitochondria and Protoplasts.
A toxin preparation from Helminthosporium maydis Race T containing several closely related molecules with apparently identical biological activities was highly active against mitochondria and protoplasts from Texas male-sterile (T) cytoplasm corn (T mitochondria and T protoplasts, respectively) but had no effect on their male-fertile (N) cytoplasm counterparts. The toxin preparation caused mult...
متن کاملFeasible Management of Southern Corn Leaf Blight via Induction of Systemic Resistance by Bacillus cereus C1L in Combination with Reduced Use of Dithiocarbamate Fungicides
Dithiocarbamate fungicides such as maneb and mancozeb are widely used nonsystemic protectant fungicides to control various plant fungal diseases. Dithiocarbamate fungicides should be frequently applied to achieve optimal efficacy of disease control and avoid either decline in effectiveness or wash-off from leaf surface. Dithiocarbamates are of low resistance risk but have the potential to cause...
متن کاملThe Wheat Puroindoline Genes Confer Fungal Resistance in Transgenic Corn
Puroindoline a and b (Pina and Pinb), together make up the functional components of the wheat grain hardness locus (Ha) and have antimicrobial properties. The antifungal activity of puroindoline proteins, PINA and PINB, has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. In this study, Pina and Pinb were introduced into corn under the control of a corn Ubiquitin promoter. Two Pina⁄Pinb expression–posit...
متن کاملNew mycotoxin, trichotoxin A, from Trichoderma viride isolated from southern leaf blight-infected corn.
A new mycotoxin, trichotoxin A, was found in a solvent extract of the mycelium of Trichoderma viride isolated from corn infected with southern leaf blight. Trichotoxin A is a cyclic peptide with the following amino acid composition: (gluN)(2), (glu)(1), (pro)(2), (gly)(1), (ala)(3), (leu)(3), (2-methyl alanine)(1).
