1954 Phytopathology 44 334/1 The toxic agent, tentatively designated ‘Victorin’, was partially purified by several methods.
1958 Science 29 Aug. 477/2 Victorin affected only those varieties of oats that were susceptible to the fungus.
1972 Science 22 Sept. 1097/1 Results with victorin, the toxin involved in Victoria blight of oats, reawakened interest in the role of toxins in plant diseases.
1982 J. B. Harborne Introd. Ecol. Biochem. (ed. 2) ix. 258 Victorin is a unique molecule in showing such a striking differential toxicity in cereal plants.
