TL;DR: The isolation and structural and biological characterization of phytotoxins produced by pathogenic fungi for weeds, including parasitic plants, are described and structure activity relationships and mode of action studies are reported to elucidate the herbicide potential of these promising fungal metabolites.

TL;DR: Morphological analysis and spectroscopic analysis emphasized the active participation of Ungeremine to the crosslinking process occurring between chitosan and TPP, and thermogravimetric analysis confirmed the increasing of free volume in three-dimensional networks and their liability to thermal degradation.

TL;DR: The findings of this review confirm the importance of secondary metabolites produced by pathogenic and endophytic fungi from forest plants growing in temperate regions as an excellent prospects to discover compounds with new bioactivities and mode of actions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the assignment of the absolute configuration of several Amaryllidaceae alkaloids and their relationship with their biological activities is discussed, and a review of the relationship between absolute configuration and biological activity is presented.

TL;DR: This perspective offers an advanced overview on the fungal phytotoxins involved in GTD and their eventual role in the development of disease symptoms.
