Abstract
Abstract Helminthosporium carbonum , which is pathogenic to maize, produces a metabolite, HC-toxin ( 1 ), with selective toxicity to susceptible host genotypes. Resistant genotypes and non host plants are tolerant. The structure of 1 (C21H32N4O6) was determined as cyclo [(2-amino-9,10-epoxy-8-oxodecanoyl)-alanyl-alanyl-prolyl] based upon spectral evidence.
