Abstract

SUMMARY: The effect of eight sterols on oospore production by Phytophthora cactorum has been studied quantitatively. Their activity was found to be in the following order: β-sitosterol = Δ5-avenasterol = fucosterol = stigmasterol > cholesterol = 7-dehydro-cholesterol > ergosterol > cholestanol.
