Abstract: | Cochliobolus heterostrophus Pol2 and Pol5 mutants are pleiotropic, and each mutant gene is responsible for alterations of both unrelated phenotypes: reddish-brown pigmentation
and polyoxin resistance. The three pigments accumulated in these mutants were isolated. Structural characterization by spectroscopic
analyses indicated that these three pigments were polyhydroxyanthraquinones: emodin, chrysophanol, and citreorosein. Emodin
is known to be an antidote against benzimidazole fungicide, although no antidoting activity against polyoxin was observed.
