| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
tentoxin, a highly
effective phytotoxin from Alternaria alternata f. sp. tenuis,
is too expensive to be used as a commercial herbicide (80).
Efforts to discover a cheaper, synthetic analogue of tentoxin
with similar herbicidal properties have failed. | [Uses]
Tentoxin, is a natural cyclic tetrapeptide, isolated from Alternaria alternata, which induces chlorosis in plants, and thus can be used as a potential natural herbicide. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Tentoxin is a lactam. | [storage]
Store at -20°C | [References]
