Analytical Methods for Phytotoxins

  • Chapter
Book cover Plant Toxin Analysis

Part of the book series: Modern Methods of Plant Analysis ((MOLMETHPLANT,volume 13))

Abstract

Diseases 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. Most of the plant pathogenic fungi examined to date produce one or more phytotoxins. Phytotoxin, for the purpose of this chapter, refers to a compound produced by a plant parasitic organism that is toxic to plants and may play some role in symptom expression. Phytotoxins are commonly found in those organisms that are necrotrophic, versus the biotrophic or obligate parasitic microbes. The term phytotoxin does not refer to the phytohormones and is to be contrasted with plant toxins, which are compounds produced by plants that adversely affect man or animals such as the castor bean toxin (ricin) or the death cap mushroom toxin (amanitin).
