A polysaccharide from the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum lindemuthianum caused browning and phytoalexin production when applied to the cut surfaces of Phaseolus vulgaris cotyledons and hypocotyls. The application of an amount of polysaccharide equivalent to less than 100 ng of glucose elicited this response in the bean tissues.
