Occurrence of trichothecin in wheat.

Mode of action of trichothecin on multiplication of Newcastle disease virus in cultured cells.

Trichothecin (1.6 mcg/ml) completely inhibited multiplication of Newcastle disease virus in cultures of chick embryo fibroblasts infected with 50 plaque forming units/cell ; while at lower concentrations, where complete inhibition was not observed, a dose-response effect was shown by a lengthening of the lag time before the beginning of hemagglutinin synthesis. Trichothecin had no effect on fre...

The isolation and chemical properties of trichothecin, an antifungal substance from Trichothecium roseum Link.

Some biological properties of trichothecin, an antifungal substance from Trichothecium roseum Link.

A Lipid Transfer Protein Increases the Glutathione Content and Enhances Arabidopsis Resistance to a Trichothecene Mycotoxin

Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab is one of the most important plant diseases worldwide, affecting wheat, barley and other small grains. Trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) accumulate in the grain, presenting a food safety risk and health hazard to humans and animals. Despite considerable breeding efforts, highly resistant wheat or barley cultivars are not available. We scree...

Microbial metabolites with insecticidal properties.

A screen of fungi for insecticidal activity revealed the ability of Aspergillus versicolor to make versimide, methyl-alpha-(methylsuccinimido)acrylate, a novel contact insecticide. The larvicidal activities of Alternaria tenuis and Fusarium lateritium were found to be due to tenuazonic acid and diacetoxyscirpenol, respectively. Thiolutin, cycloheximide, rubratoxin, patulin, trichothecin, an act...
