“…The year 2000 will be the 60th anniversary of Müller & Borger's paper that first presented the phytoalexin hypothesis (69), and a good summary of Müller's contributions recently was published (40). Müller & Borger demonstrated that prior infection of potato tuber tissue with an incompatible race of Phytophthora infestans induced resistance to a subsequent challenge by inoculation with a compatible race of P. infestans or a tuber-infecting Fusarium.…”

One of the best and longest-studied defense response of plants to infection is the induced accumulation of antimicrobial, low-molecular-weight secondary metabolites known as phytoalexins. Since the phytoalexin hypothesis was first proposed in 1940, a role for these compounds in defense has been revealed through several experimental approaches. Support has come, for example, through studies on the rate of phytoalexins in relation to cessation of pathogen development, quantification of phytoalexins at the infection site, and relationship of pathogen virulence to the phytoalexin tolerance. Evidence in support of phytoalexins in resistance as well some recent advances in phytoalexin biosynthesis are reviewed. Criteria for evaluating a role for phytoalexins in disease resistance are also discussed.

This paper summarizes the views of the authors on the roles of specific metabolites play in the resistance of plants against bacterial and fungal diseases. Antimicrobial specific plant metabolites may be synthesized in plant tissues constitutively (phytoanticipins) or in response to microbial infections (phytoalexins). This paper identifies certain key steps in the discovery of phytoalexins and touches upon the current state of phytoalexin research.
