Hello sir, I kindly need to draw your attention to the definition of phytotoxins. Phytotoxins are not that toxic to plants but they are substances which derived from a plant. It has been misinterpreted by you. Thankyou.

Kindly revise yourself back once again, phytotoxins are substances that are poisonous or toxic to the growth of plants and are not produced by plants but by pathogens during host-pathogen interaction (may occasionally by plants, but mostly pathogens), but they had no certain role in the pathogenesis. • But few of the reports revealed that phytotoxins also play a role in pathogenesis given by very famous plant pathologist and toxin specialist - Richard N Strange (DOI - 10.1039/b513232k) For example - Tabtoxin is produced by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci that may cause toxic concentrations of ammonia to build up. This buildup of ammonia causes leaf chlorosis. If it phytotoxins are not toxic to plants why are these reactions happening in the plants ….?
