H. sativum에서 분리되고 명명된 D-toxin은 UV, GC-MS, 및 화학분석결과helminthosporal와 비슷한 결과를 얻었으나, helminthosporal와 같지는 않았다. 이 식물독물질은 barley endosperm실험에서 gibbe-rellic acid와 같은 결과를 반응을 나타내었으나, 보리뿌리 및 줄기반응에서 gibberellic acid와 같지가 않았다. 또한, 이 물질은 통계처리결과 은 반응결과를 Host specific disease로 알려진, Foliar spot and Root rot diseases에 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.
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.
