Pisatin demethylation by fungal pathogens and nonpathogens of pea: association with pisatin tolerance and virulence.
1999-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have indicated that detoxification of their hosts' phytoalexins is a tolerance mechanism for some true fungi, but not the fungus-like Oomycota, and may be involved in determining the virulence of a pathogen. In the present study, the associations between demethylation of the pea phytoalexin pisatin, tolerance to pisatin, and virulence on pea were examined for 50 fungal isolates which represent 17...
