Phytotoxins as molecular signals

  • Chapter
Signal Transduction in Plants

Part of the book series: MCBU Molecular and Cell Biology Updates ((MCBU))

Abstract

It is customary to include under the name of phytotoxins those microbial metabolites that, with the exclusion of enzymes, damage plants at low concentrations. Many plant pathogenic bacteria and fungi produce phytotoxins in culture, but the potential role of these metabolites in pathogenesis has been seldom demonstrated. Essential conditions for attributing the function of disease determinants are: a) the demonstration that the toxin occurs in infected plants, b) the ability of the toxin to reproduce at least a portion of the syndrome when placed in a healthy plant.
