Effect of fungal toxins on germination of Striga hermonthica seeds.

Fourteen fungal toxins were assayed in vitro to evaluate their effect on seed germination of the parasitic weed Striga hermonthica.  Among them, T-2 toxin was the most active, being able to inhibit seed germination by 100% at 10-5 M.  Don caused 100% and 69% reduction in germination when assayed at 10-4 and 10-5 M, respectively.  Cytochalasin E, tenuazonic acid, FB1, enniatin and NIV were shown to have an inhibitory effect of around 50% at 10-4 M.  The potential for use of fungal toxins as herbicides is discussed.
