Diethyl ether soluble toxin produced by H. sativum had the characteristics of helmin­thosporal as based on UV, GC-MS, and chemical analysis, but was not a helminthosporaI. It was speculated that it was a polymer of helminthosporal. It stimulated the productions of reducing sugar in the barly endosperm like gibberellic acid, but acted in the responses on the barley roots and coleoptiles like gibberellic acid. It seemed to be involved in Foliar and Root rot diseases with host specificity, based on the analysis of linear regression.

Two kinds of toxins were demonstrated in the culture filtrate of H. sativum, and were called 'M' and 'D' toxins. The lettuce bioassay indicated that D-toxin caused less root growth inhibition than M-toxin. Chemical analysis indicated that M-toxin was a very unusual small peptide. D-toxin was shown to have chemical characteristics similar to helminthosporal based on ultraviolet, proton nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. D-toxin was composed of at least two isomers.
