A chemical test reported by Karr et al. (Plant Physiol. 55:727) to assay for host-specific toxin produced by Helminthosporium maydis race T was evaluated. Preparations from culture filtrates of both race T isolates, containing host-specific toxin, and similar preparations from race O isolates, containing no detectable host-specific toxin, gave positive reactions in the chemical assay. Also, preparations containing active or inactive toxin gave equal responses in this test. The procedure does not provide a reliable method for assaying H. maydis race T toxin.
Karr 等人报告的一种化学检测方法(植物生理学 55:727)用于检测玉米旋孢腔菌 T 小种产生的宿主特异性毒素,对此我们进行了评估。含有宿主特异性毒素的 T 小种分离株的培养滤液以及含有不可检测到的宿主特异性毒素的 O 小种分离株的类似培养滤液在化学检测中均呈阳性反应。此外,含有活性或非活性毒素的制剂在该试验中给出了相同的反应。该程序不能为玉米旋孢腔菌 T 小种毒素提供可靠的检测方法。
