title: The phytotoxicity of natural tetramic acid derivatives.
abstract: Natural tetramic acid derivatives have attracted a great deal of interest of chemists because of their structural features and the broad range of biological activities. This paper focuses on five naturally occurring tetramic acid derivatives reported to have phytotoxicity and discusses their common structural characteristics.
