“…Fractions that reduced rootknot nematode egg hatch and J2 mobility consisted primarily of this compound, and bioassays of the synthesised compound con rmed the activity. Flavipin is produced by several Aspergillus and Epicoccum species as well as by Chaetomium globosum (Raistrick & Rudman, 1956;Bamford et al, 1961;Sekita et al, 1982). The compound is toxic to microorganisms, particularly to fungi (Raistrick & Rudman, 1956;Bamford et al, 1961;Baráthová et al, 1969;Burge et al, 1976;Brown et al, 1987;Mallea et al, 1991;Madrigal & Melgarejo, 1995), and was implicated as the mechanism responsible for the biocontrol of Monilinia laxa, a fungal plant pathogen, by Epicoccum nigrum (Madrigal et al, 1991).…”
