Abstract
IT is obvious that plants are resistant to attack by fungi that are non-pathogenic to them. However, until recently, the mechanism of this resistance has been obscure. Pisatin, a substance believed to be responsible for such resistance in the garden pea (Pisum sativum L.), has been recently isolated from pea pods inoculated with fungal spores1.
