Methoxymellein (6-MM) is the carrot phytoalexin and 6-hydroxymellein (6-HM) its immediate biosynthetic precursor. 6-MM is more toxic than 6-HM to the producing carrot cells, as demonstrated by the differential toxicity of these two dihydroisocoumarins to either colony forming units in solid medium or cell viability and mitotic activity in suspension cultures.
