Fusarium equiseti and F. pallidoroseum were isolated from the embryos of weathered cottonseed. Most isolates produced equisetin when grown on potato dextrose agar, rice, surface-sterilised cottonseed or autoclaved cottonseed. This is the first report of equisetin from Equisetin was extracted from cultures of Fusarium equiseti and F. pallidoroseum with acetone and dichloromethane, and partially purified by TLC. Two epimers of equisetin, designated as EQ and epi-EQ, were separated by HPLC. Both epimers suppressed germination or inhibited growth of various monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous seeds, inhibited the growth of young seedlings and caused necrotic lesions on the roots, cotyledons and coleoptiles of tested plant seedlings.
