Ethyl acetate washes of these extracts inhibited germination of C. falcatum spores. The corresponding washes from sugarcane stalks that were wounded but not inoculated, or that were neither wounded nor inoculated, were not inhibitory. Two-dimensional paper chromatography revealed that 20-30 compounds accumulated in inoculated cane but not in cane that was only wounded. A fungitoxic compound was isolated from extracts of inoculated cane by droplet countercurrent chromatography and thin layer chromatography. The compound was identified as piceatannol by comparison of its UV, $\\sp1$H and $\\sp{13}$C NMR, and mass spectra with spectra from the literature and from a sample of synthetic piceatannol. The ED$\\sb{50}$ of piceatannol is about 7 ppm for C. falcatum germ tube growth and about 50 ppm for spore germination. Piceatannol was not present in uninoculated sugarcane and was not induced by wounding alone. It also was not detected in sugarcane suspension cultures. In inoculated cane piceatannol was first detected 2-3 days after inoculation and reached maximum levels 6 days after inoculation. Within 4 days after inoculation the piceatannol concentration was above that necessary to completely inhibit C. falcatum germ tube growth in vitro. It appears that piceatannol is a phytoalexin in sugarcane and is present in sufficient amounts in infected tissues to play a role in resistance to red rot.","Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:28:23Z (GMT).
