Abstract
Two phytotoxins are isolated from culture filtrates of an Alternaria a lternata pathogenic to sunflower. One was identified by chemical and p hysicochemical techniques as the tetrapeptide Ser-Val-Gly-Glu. This pe ptide, for which we suggested the name AS-I toxin, was further charact erised by synthesis and by its phytotoxic effect on sunflower and othe r plants. \ (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
