The strongest evidence to support the association between the production of a trichothecene by a plant pathogen and the resulting death of the host is work carried out with Myrothecium roridum (31, 32, 33). This pathogen attacks musk-melon (Cucumis melo L.) and while it attacks mainly the fruit, with concomitant losses of up to 30%, all parts of the plant...

A strain of Myrothecium roridum, (ATCC 52485), originally isolated from diseased muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) is highly pathogenic and capable of attacking all parts of susceptible muskmelon plants including leaves, stems and fruits (Bruton, 1982). Bean et al.
