THAXTOMINE A Usage And Synthesis

Description

Thaxtomin A is a major phytotoxin produced by S. scabies, gram-positive soil bacterium responsible for producing scabs on tubers and root vegetables. This bacterial metabolite acts as a virulence factor in the common scab potato disease and demonstrates herbicidal activity against the dicotyledon weeds B. campestris and A. retroflexus.

Uses

Thaxtomin A is a phytotoxin produced by Streptomyces scabies and other Streptomyces species, the causative agents of common scab disease in potato and other taproot crops.
