Abstract:
1. A plant disease resistance-inducing composition comprising a filamentous fungus-derived glycosphingolipid and a filamentous fungus-derived liposoluble substance, wherein said filamentous fungus is a microorganism belonging to edible Basidiomycetes selected from the group consisting of genus Pleurotus , genus Flammulina , genus Grifola , genus Agaricus , genus Auricularia , genus Tremellales , genus Pholiota , and genus Sparassidaceae or medical Basidiomycetes selected from the group consisting of genus Wolfiporis or genus Ganoderma or a microorganism for fermentation production selected from the group consisting of genus Aspergilus , genus, Penicillium , genus Trichoderma , genus Acremonium , genus Mucor , and genus Rhizopus wherein said glycosphingolipid cerebroside B ((4E,8E)-N-D-2′-hydroxypalmitoyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine), wherein the content of cerebroside B ((4E,8E)-N-D-2′-hydroxypalmitoyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-9-methyl-4,8-sphingadienine) is 0.4 to 3.0 mg/ml and the content of the liposoluble substance is 10 to 200 mg/ml in terms of an n-hexane extract.
