2000 review
The photoactivated Cercospora toxin cercosporin: Contributions to plant disease and fundamental biology
[Review of ]. ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHYTOPATHOLOGY, 38, 461-+.
author keywords: active oxygen; singlet oxygen; photosensitization; polyketide; fungal toxins
TL;DR:
Resistance of Cercospora species to the toxic effects of their own toxin has allowed these organisms to be used as a model for understanding the cellular basis of resistance to singlet oxygen and to general oxidative stress, and the recent discovery that pyridoxine (vitamin B6) quenches singinglet oxygen has led to the understanding of a novel role for this vitamin in cells as well as a novel pathway of biosynthesis.

Vitamin B-6 (pyridoxine) and its derivatives are efficient singlet oxygen quenchers and potential fungal antioxidants
PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY, 71(2), 129–134.
TL;DR:
Fluorescence intensity of 3 increased ∼10 times in organic solvents such as ethanol and 1,2-propanediol compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting that fluorescence may be used to image the distribution of 1–4 in Cercospora to understand better the interactions of pyridoxine and 1O2 in the living fungus.

Roles for mannitol and mannitol dehydrogenase in active oxygen-mediated plant defense
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 95(25), 15129–15133.
TL;DR:
It is shown that the catabolic enzyme mannitol dehydrogenase is induced in a non-mannitol-producing plant in response to both fungal infection and specific inducers of plant defense responses, providing a mechanism whereby the plant can counteract fungal suppression of ROS-mediated defenses by catabolizingMannitol of fungal origin.

HOST PROTEIN(S) INDUCES ACCUMULATION OF THE TOXIN CERCOSPORIN AND MESSENGER-RNA IN A PHYTOPATHOGENIC STRAIN OF CERCOSPORA-KIKUCHII
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR PLANT PATHOLOGY, 43(2), 95–107.
TL;DR:
The data suggest that C. kikuchii responds to soybean protein(s) with increased cercosporin production and changes in transcript accumulation, and this study shows that CM cultures supplemented with aqueous extracts of soybean leaves or meal accumulated between 5 to 65 fold higher levels of cercOSporin than unsupplemented cultures.
