Their potential use as natural herbicides and fungicides is discussed. The use of some polyphenols which could be applied as an alternative method to control parasitic weeds, the so called ``suicidal germination{''}, will be covered. The sources and the isolation and identification of polyphenols produced by some crop plants in consequence of the attack of pathogenic fungi as plant defence compounds (phytoalexins), are also described.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4, SI</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;pub-location: VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS&lt;br/&gt;publisher: SPRINGER</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Evidente, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Masi, Marco</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Linaldeddu, Benedetto T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Franceschini, Antonio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scanu, Bruno</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cimmino, Alessio</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Andolfi, Anna</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Motta, Andrea</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maddau, Lucia</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Afritoxinones A and B, dihydrofuropyran-2-ones produced by Diplodia africana the causal agent of branch dieback on Juniperus phoenicea</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PHYTOCHEMISTRY</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Afritoxinones A and B</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Botryosphaeriaceae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Diplodia africana</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Juniperus phoenicea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phytotoxins</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">77</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">245 - 250</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Two phytotoxic dihydrofuropyran-2-ones, named afritoxinones A and B. were isolated from liquid culture of Diplodia africana. a fungal pathogen responsible for branch dieback of Phoenicean juniper in Italy. Additionally, six others known metabolites were isolated and characterized: oxysporone, sphaeropsidin A, epi-sphaeropsidone, R-(-)-mellein, (3R,4R)-4-hydroxymellein and (3R,4S)-4-hydroxymellein. The structures of afritoxinones A and B were established by spectroscopic and optical methods and determined to be as (3aS{*},6R{*}-,7aS)-6-methoxy-3a,7a-dihydro-3H,6H-furo\{[\}2,3-b]pyran-2-o ne and (3aR{*},6R{*},7aS)-6-methoxy-3a,7a-dihydro-3H,6H-furo\{[\}2,3-b]pyran-2-on e, respectively. The phytotoxic activity of afritoxinones A and B and oxysporone was evaluated on host (Phoenicean juniper) and non-host plant (holm oak, cork oak and tomato) by cutting and leaf puncture assay. Oxysporone proved to be the most phytotoxic compound. This study represents the first report of secondary metabolites produced by D. africana. In addition, the taxonomic implications of secondary metabolites in Botryosphaeriaceae family studies are discussed. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Although such pathogens are known to have seriously damaged crops, forest, and environmental resources, they represent a very important tool to develop new environmentally friendly herbicides and fungicides. This review deals with the relationships between the biological activity of some phytotoxins produced by pathogenic fungi for major forest plants and for damaging weeds and their stereochemistry. In particular, the methods used to determine their relative and/or absolute configuration will be illustrated. These include the application of Mosher's and Murata's methods, X-ray diffractometric analysis, circular dichroism, and the use of computational methods to determine the theoretical optical rotatory power as well as the CD spectrum. The importance of determining the absolute configuration to achieve the total synthesis of some phytotoxins, interesting for their potential practical application, is also discussed.
