Abstract

The toxin (Sg-toxin) was recovered from infected bajra [Pennisetum typhoides] plants but not from healthy ones at c. 0.5% on dry wt. basis. It was toxic to P. typhoides and, to a greater extent, to tomato, and at up to 0.06% dilution. It inhibited the germination of seeds and decreased plumule length, especially in P. typhoides. It did not affect the growth of any of 23 micro-organisms tested. Sg-toxin is a non-specific vivo-toxin
