“…Some examples of satisfactory fungal disease control achieved by the use of phytotoxins produced by pathogens have already been described. Thaxtomin A, the main phytotoxin produced by Phakopsora pachyrhizi , was successfully used in the induction of resistance of Asian soybean rust (ASR), caused by this pathogen [ 163 ]. Magnaporthe grisea is a ubiquitous fungus responsible for finger millet blast, the most devastating disease affecting this cereal.…”

Fungal phytotoxins can be defined as secondary metabolites toxic to host plants and are believed to be involved in the symptoms developed of a number of plant diseases by targeting host cellular machineries or interfering with host immune responses. As any crop, legumes can be affected by a number of fungal diseases, causing severe yield losses worldwide. In this review, we report and discuss the isolation, chemical, and biological characterization of fungal phytotoxins produced by the most important necrotrophic fungi involved in legume diseases. Their possible role in plant–pathogen interaction and structure–toxicity relationship studies have also been reported and discussed. Moreover, multidisciplinary studies on other prominent biological activity conducted on reviewed phytotoxins are described. Finally, we explore the challenges in the identification of new fungal metabolites and their possible applications in future experiments.
