| Induction of Phytoalexin Synthesis in Soybean. Structure and Reactions of Naturally Occurring and Enzymatically Prepared Prenylated Pterocarpans from Elicitor-Treated Cotyledons and Cell Cultures of Soybean  | | | | Abstract
| Using HPLC on a partisil column (5 nm) it was possible to separate two reaction products from an enzyme incubation o f dimethylallylpyrophosphate and 3,6a,9-trihydtoxypterocarpan with a particulate fraction from elicitor-treated soybean cotyledons (Harosoy 63) or soybean cell cultures. These two products were identified by MS and !H-NMR analysis as 2-and 4-dimethylallyltrihy-droxypterocarpan. Both compounds also occur as natural products in elicitor-treated soybean cotyledons and to a smaller extent in soybean cell cultures. Introduction of the dimethylallyl substituent into trihydroxypterocarpan increases the fungitoxicity against Cladosporium cucume-rinum. Upon treatment with alkali, solutions o f 3,6a,9-trihydroxypterocarpans turn to an intense red colour with Amax around 530 nm. One of the products from 2-DMA-THP could be isolated by reversed phase HPLC. According to its mass spectrum a quinoid structure is proposed for this red pigment. | | | |
