Alternaria dauci is the causal agent of Alternaria leaf blight (ALB) in carrot ( Daucus carota ) crops around the world. However, to date, A. dauci has received limited attention in its production of phytotoxic metabolites. In this investigation, the bioassay-guided isolation of the extract from liquid cultures of A. dauci resulted in the isolation of two metabolites identified as α -acetylorcinol ( 1 ) and p -hydroxybenzoic acid ( 2 ), based on their spectroscopic data and results from chemical correlation reactions. Testing of both metabolites in different assays showed an important phytotoxic activity for p -hydroxybenzoic acid ( 2 ) when tested in the leaf-spot assay on parsley ( Petroselinum crispum ), in the leaf infiltration assay on tobacco ( Nicotiana alata ) and marigold ( Tagetes erecta ), and in the immersion assay on parsley and parsnip ( Pastinaca sativa ) leaves. Quantification of the two metabolites in the crude extract of A. dauci kept at different times showed that p -hydroxybenzoic acid ( 2 ) is one of the first metabolites to be synthesized by the pathogen, suggesting that this salicylic acid derivative could play an important role in the pathogenicity of the fungus.
