Description
Summary:<abstract language="eng">The natural quinones lapachol, &#945;-lapachone and &#946;-lapachone, and the synthetic derivative &#946;-lapachone-3-sulfonic-acid were assayed for inhibition of fungal growth (Fusarium oxysporum) and germination of lettuce seeds (Lactuca sativa L.). &#946;-Lapachone has the strongest activity as a germination inhibitor and lapachol shows no effect. &#946;-Lapachone, followed by lapachol, are the most active in reducing fungal growth.
