Identification and Toxicological Characterization of Alternaria japonica Strains.

Fungi of the genus Alternaria are producers of biologically active compounds. Alternaria japonica is pathogenic to small radish and certain other crucifers, but has not been studied in sufficient detail. Discrepant data on its toxic metabolites are available in the literature, possibly because a limited set of nutritive substrates was used in culturing or species identification of the strains was incorrect.

The effectiveness of molecular markers for the identification of leaf rust resistance genes Lr28, Lr35, Lr47 transferred to common wheat was assessed the using samplesof Triticum spp. and Aegilops spp. from Ae.
