Application Notes

Zinniol is a non-specific phytotoxin, first isolated from the pathogenic fungus, Alternaria zinniae, by White and Starratt in 1967 and the structure solved by Starratt the next year. Zinniol has since been isolated from several other Alternaria species, as well as Phoma macdonaldii, the causative agent of sunflower stem blight. Signs of zinniol's phytotoxicity include inducing shrivelling of plant stems, chlorosis and browning of leaf veins in zinnia seedlings, sunken and discoloured lesions in sunflower cultivars and necrosis of carrott leaves.
