Abstract: | Pisatin and homopisatin have been identified as antifungal compounds in red clover infected with either Botrytis cinerea, a non-pathogen, or Sclerotinia trifoliorum a clover pathogen. In addition 6a- hydroxymaackiain and 6a-hydroxymedicarpin have been detected. In vitro experiments have established that Sclerotinia can convert both maackiain and medicarpin to their respective 6a-hydroxylated products. |
