Abstract
The isolation and distribution of substances present in the corn plant, Zea mays which are inhibitory to P. nubilalis were studied. One such inhibitor, 6-methoxy-2(3)-benzoxazolinone (I), was isolated utilizing ion-exchange chromatog-raphy and a bioassay involving Penicillium chrysogenum. Another inhibitor (n) (water-soluble, ether-insoluble) was detected. The distribution of I in the developing maize plant showed a relationship to its resistance to P. nubilalis. Role of I and II in such resistance and also their possible role in fungal resistance are discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
