Description

Pisatin is a phytoalexin produced by pea plants (Pisum sativum) in response to fungal infection. It is a potent antifungal agent, primarily against the fungal pathogen Ascochyta pisi, which causes pea blight. Pisatin is synthesized through a complex biosynthetic pathway involving several enzymes and intermediates. Its biosynthesis is triggered by the recognition of fungal elicitors by the plant's immune system. Pisatin acts by inhibiting the growth and development of fungi through various mechanisms, including disruption of fungal cell membrane integrity, interference with fungal enzyme activity, and inhibition of fungal DNA synthesis. Research on pisatin focuses on its potential as a natural fungicide and its role in plant defense against fungal pathogens. Understanding the biosynthesis and mechanisms of action of pisatin could lead to the development of new and sustainable strategies for controlling fungal diseases in crops. Additionally, pisatin has shown some insecticidal activity against certain insect pests.'
