Abstract
Four phytotoxic compounds (1-4) were obtained from a culture of Bipola r is bicolor E1-1, a fungal pathogen of gramineous plants. Compounds 1 -3 were respectively identified as cochlioquinone A, cochlioquinone B, and stemphone by spectrometric analyses. Compound 4, named isocochlio quinone A, was found to have an identical molecular formula to that of 1 and was determined to be an intramolecular redox isomer of 1. Compo unds 1-4 inhibited the root growth of such plant seedlings as finger m illet and rice.
