Summary The quinolizidine alkaloids sparteine, lupanine and 13-tigloyl-oxylupanine and the indole alkaloid gramine inhibited the germination of conidia ofErysiphe graminis f.sp.hordei Marchal and also the further development to appressoria. Half-maximal inhibitory concentrations of these alkaloids were 1–5 mmol/l. This result provides further evidence for a role of alkaloids as chemical defense compounds in plants.
