Diaporthe


Diaporthe is a genus of endophytic filamentous fungal plant pathogens.
Diaporthe species have been shown to transform the infection-inhibiting factors -catechin and -epicatechin into the 3,4-cis-dihydroxyflavan derivatives.
Some species, like Diaporthe toxica, produce secondary metabolites that result in toxicoses of animals such as lupinosis of sheep.
