Abstract
Abstract A biologically active compound was isolated from liquid cultures of Alternaria tagetica and identified as zinniol. The selective action of zinniol, a non host-specific phytotoxin which induces necrosis in a number of unrelated plant species, has been demonstrated: enhanced chlorophyll retention occurs in zinniol-treated leaf tissue of three cereal species.
