alpha-hondrotheionin

[skoufos at nefeli.imbb.forth.gr]

Dear netters

I would like some information about alpha-hondrotheionin from barley.
I understand that it is a toxin.  Is its mode of action known? Does
it affect animals or insects? Please give me some references. Thank
you in advance

Cheers

Emmanuel
