Abstract
Roridin H, a non host-specific macrocyclic trichothecene toxin produce d in culture by a strain of Dendrodochium toxicum (syn. Myrothecium ro ridum) showed some phytotoxic effects on corn root cells. Roridin H in duced an efflux of potassium, caused depolarizations of membrane poten tials (E(M)), inhibited of P-32 uptake and increased the respiration. The results suggest that roridin H is able to induce nonspecific membr ane alterations e.g. cellular ion transport.
