Rishitinol is a sesquiterpene alcohol produced by plants, notably potatoes (Solanum tuberosum), as a defense mechanism against pathogens. As a phytoalexin, rishitinol exhibits antimicrobial properties, inhibiting the growth of various fungi and bacteria. Its mechanism involves direct toxicity to pathogens and the induction of plant defense responses upon pathogen detection. Additionally, rishitinol has been studied for its nematicidal activity, showing potential in controlling plant-parasitic nematodes.
