“…A wide range of secondary phytotoxic metabolites has been reported from legume pathogens. Ascochitine has been isolated from Ascochyta fabae and A. pisi (Foremska et al, 1990;Beed et al, 1994), ascosalitoxin from A. pisi (Evidente et al, 1993), solanapyrones A-C from A. rabiei (Alam et al, 1989;Chen and Strange, 1991), pinolidoxin, pinolide, and herbarumin II from Didymella pinodes (Cimmino et al, 2012), lentisone from A. lentis (Andolfi et al, 2013), botrytone from Botrytis fabae . Those secondary metabolites often show phytotoxicity to host both host and non-host plants (Evidente et al, 1993), and are frequently assumed to play a role in pathogenesis (Kaur, 1995).…”
