A naturally occurring compound called sampangine, patented in 1990 to treat human fungal infections, has been patented again for another use. It and similar, related compounds may have use as low-toxicity, broad-spectrum controls of fungal plant pathogens that threaten agriculture.

Sampangine-based compounds have been shown to control fungi such as Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold on tomatoes; Colletotrichum fragariae, which causes anthracnose crown rot and will ...

	A Winning Combination The Washington Post ; Penicillium roqueforti and Botrytis cinerea sound more like diseases than the world's greatest helpers in the mating of wine and food. These blue-cheese and wine fungi produce two great ingestibles, a wine and food combination better than caviar and champagne: blue cheese and a sweet white wine.
