Description
2,6-dichloro-isonicotinic acid (CGA 41396) and its ester derivative (CGA 41397) induce local and systemic resistance in cucumber against C. lagenarium as well as other pathogens. These compounds have no direct fungicidal effet comparable to standard fungicides and extracts from treated plants do not show the presence of fungitoxic metabolites. In addition both compounds modify the physiology of the host plant by inducing chitinase. Thus CGA 41396 and 41397 could be considered as novel inducers of resistance.
