- " Necrosis does not seem to be essential for the establishment of systemic acquired resistance (SAR), since resistance induced by the acidic elicitin, capsicein, is not accompanied by the development of visible symptoms on the leaves. " 08/15/1989
- " Capsicein induces protection even in near absence of leaf necrosis. " 08/15/1989
- " Cryptogein causes visible leaf necrosis starting at about 1 microgram/plant, whereas 50-fold as much capsicein is required for the same reaction. " 03/01/1992
- " On tobacco plants, they could be classified into two classes: a, comprising capsicein and parasiticein (less necrotic), and β, comprising cryptogein and cinnamomin (very toxic with a necrosis threshold of 0.1 μg per leaf). " 08/15/1989
- " The phytopathogenic fungi Phytophthora cryptogea and Phytophthora capsici cause systemic leaf necrosis on their non-host tobacco; in culture they release proteins, called cryptogein and capsicein, which elicit similar necrosis. "
