Mycocentrospora acerina is an ascomycete fungus that is a plant pathogen, which may attack leaves and roots of carrot,[1] parsnip, lettuce, caraway,[2] and other vegetables. It may be dispersed for short distances by conidia in soil by rain splash.[2]
Falcarindiol (cis-heptadeca-1,9-diene-4,6-diyne-3,8-diol) is a polyacetylene found in carrot roots. This compound shows antifungal activity towards M. acerina.[3]
