Important Means

Cutting-up leaflets of Lupinus polyphyllus induces a rapid increase of quinolizidine alkaloid accumulation of up to 400% within 2 to 4.5 h. In contrast to the diurnal alkaloid formation, this reaction takes place both in the light and the dark and even at 4°C. The effect is reduced in chloramphenicol-treated samples but unimpaired in cycloheximide-treated assays. Since quinolizidine alkaloids constitute probably an important means of a chemical defense system of lupins against microbes and herbivores, the wound-induction of alkaloid accumulation is discussed as a defense responsf

ABSTRACTTamavidins are fungal biotin-binding proteins (BBPs) displaying antifungal activity against phytopathogens. Here we show high toxicity of tamavidins toward nematodes, insects, and amoebae. As these organisms represent important phyla of fungal predators and parasites, we propose that BBPs are part of the chemical defense system of fungi.
