A lipophilic cation protects crops against fungal pathogens by multiple modes of action

New fungicides are needed due to emerging resistance shown by crop pathogens. Here, the authors show that a mono-alkyl lipophilic cation protects plants from fungal pathogens by inhibiting fungal mitochondrial respiration, inducing production of reactive oxygen species, triggering fungal apoptosis,...

Description
Résumé:New fungicides are needed due to emerging resistance shown by crop pathogens. Here, the authors show that a mono-alkyl lipophilic cation protects plants from fungal pathogens by inhibiting fungal mitochondrial respiration, inducing production of reactive oxygen species, triggering fungal apoptosis, and activating innate plant defense.
