Riassunto

Il Phosfon D, composto ritardante la crescita nelle piante superiori, induce la comparsa di pigmenti chinonici in un ceppo incolore del fungo dermato fitaTrichophyton mentagrophytes. Viene ipotizzato che il Phosfon D dereprima i geni per gli enzimi catalizzanti la sintesi dei pigmenti neoformati.

  13. Phosfon D (Virginia-Carolina Chemical Corporation, Richmond, Virginia, USA) is a chemical commonly employed for retarding growth in higher plants. The compound has been shown to inhibit the gibberellic acid synthetic pathway both in higher plants and in gibberellic acid producing fungi (seeWest andFall 14 for additional details).
