The target site of tolprocarb has been reported to be polyketide synthase (PKS). Here, we evaluated the activities for <i>Pyricularia oryzae</i> PKS and melanin biosynthesis as well as the control efficacy of rice blast using a series of tolprocarb derivatives. A comparison of the inhibitory activities of PKS and melanin biosynthesis revealed a linear relationship (<i>r</i> <sup>2</sup>=0.90), confirming PKS as the target site of tolprocarb. A compound beyond this relationship was metabolized by ...[more]
