Abstract
The production of phytoalexins appears to be a widespread mechanism of plant defense against microbes. There are about 100 known phytoalexins at the present time. All are lipophilic compounds. The mechanism(s) by which phytoalexins arrest growth in not understood.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
