On the effect of a piricularin-detoxyfying substance, ferulic acid, on the tissue resistance of rice plants to the blast-fungal infection

Abstract

In the previous papers we reported on the isolation of piricularin and picolinic acid,

Lignification and Qualitative Changes of Phenolic Compounds in Rice Callus Tissues Inoculated with Plant Pathogenic Fungi

“…Tamari et al 22 ) investigated the effect of ferulic acid on the spore germination of Pyricularia oryzae and showed that spore germination and the mycelial growth were insensitive to a 500 f1.g/ml concentration of ferulic acid at pH 6.0, whereas spore germination was prevented at a concentration of 100 f1.g/ml at pH 4.0.…”
