Summary Biosynthesis of flavonoid aglycones and glycosides is well established. However, key genes involved in their catabolism are poorly understood, even though the products hydrolysis oxidation play important roles plant resistance to biotic stress. Here, we report on dihydrochalcones (DHCs), most abundant flavonoids domesticated apple wild Malus . Two genes, BGLU13.1 PPO05 , were identified by activity‐directed protein purification. BGLU13.1‐A hydrolyzed phlorizin, (the DHC apple)...
The phytotoxic solanapyrones A, B and C, were produced by Ascochyta rabiei when grown on Czapek Dox nutrients supplemented with an aqueous extract of chickpea seed but not alone. Addition amino acids, vitamins inorganic ions to allowed the production in good yields. By systematic elimination components this medium, constituents essential for toxin identified as divalent metal cations Zn 2+ , Ca Mn Cu . When these added same concentrations those found extract, phytotoxins similar detected....
Production of the solanapyrone toxins by Ascochyta rabiei is nutrient dependent. When grown on a medium consisting entirely expressed sap from aerial parts young chickpea plants (PSM). only low concentrations solanapyrones were produced (< 24 μM). However, toxicity 4‐day‐old culture filtrates to isolated cells leaflets was comparable with that obtained 12‐day‐oId Czapek Dox nutrients supplemented seed extract or cations—media are conducive production. The additional toxic component which...
