Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis, elicitation and biological activity of isoflavonoid phytoalexins
David A. Smith,Stephen W. Banks +1 more
TL;DR: Isoflavonoid phytoalexins are a major class of low molecular weight, inhibitory compounds synthesized by certain plants, notably members of the Leguminosae, and their biosynthesis, elicitation and biological properties are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-related fungitoxicity of isoflavonoids
TL;DR: A series of isoflavones, is oflavanones, pterocarpans, isofiavans and the coumestan aureol obtained from five Phaseolus species have been tested for fungitoxicity against Aspergillus niger and Cladosporium cucumerinum and a study made of the relationship between their structure and fungit toxicity.

Isolation from Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli of an enzymic system responsible for kievitone and phaseollidin detoxification
P.J. Kuhn,D.A. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The metabolic conversion of the phytoalexin kievitone to kieviton hydrate was found to occur in liquid cultures of Fusarium solani f.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association between lowered kievitone hydratase activity and reduced virulence to bean in variants of Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli
TL;DR: The presence of KHase in Fusarium -infected bean tissues soon after inoculation, and for several days thereafter, as well as the association between lowered KHase activity and reduced virulence, suggest that this enzyme plays a role in the development of the fungus in its host's tissues.
