The ethyl acetate extract of the conidia germination fluid from an Avena isolate (Br58) of Pyricularia oryzae had chlorosis-inducing activity on oat leaf segments. The same activity was also present in the acetone extract of an oatmeal agar culture of Br58. Fungal cultures were used for a large-scale preparation. A series of acetone and ethyl acetate extraction monitored by chromatography was used to isolate an active fraction. The active principle was purified by HPLC. We show by NMR and LC/MS that the toxin was an oxidized C18 unsaturated fatty acid named Mag-toxin. Mag-toxin induced chlorosis on oat leaf segments incubated in the light but not in the dark. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and cell death were induced by Mag-toxin in oat cells. The sub-cellular localization of ROS generation induced by the toxin treatment was correlated with the location of mitochondria. Interestingly, the induction of ROS generation and cell death by Mag-toxin was light-independent.
