Protection against phenol toxicity by the spore mucilage of Colletotrichum graminicola, an aid to secondary spread

摘要: Abstract Phenolic compounds inhibitory to the germination of spores Colletotrichum graminicola were shown leach from necrotic lesions on corn leaves caused by fungus. Primary components phenolic mixture identified as esters and glycosides p -coumaric ferulic acids well free themselves. Spores C. produced in acervuli infected be surrounded a mucilaginous matrix is case when fungus cultured vitro . It suggested that mucilage protects effects phenols presence proline-rich proteins have been high binding affinity for variety phenols.
