Inoculation of roots of sweet potato Ipomea batatas) with spore suspension of black rot fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata and other pathogenic fungi or HgCl2. 

Structurally related to terpenoids are the so-called furanoter-penoids. A number of these derivatives can be found, for example, in sweet potatoes Ipomoea batatas, Convolvulaceae). The first phytoalexin isolated from the crop affected by the mould Fusarium so/a i was hepatotoxic ipomeamarone (10-157). Also of toxicological concern are four other related derivatives ipomeanine (10-158), a mixture of enantiomers ofipomean-4-ol (10-159) and ipomean-l-ol (10-160) and a mixture of diastereomers of ipomea-l,4-diol (10-161). The pneumotoxin (a respiratory tract toxicant) ipomean-4-ol is mainly responsible for the toxic effects of sweet potatoes. The use of mechanically damaged and microbially infected sweet potato as feed for cattle represents a significant risk, as in some instances this has led to the death of the livestock due to pulmonary oedema that were incurred. It seems very likely that these...
