Fungal culture-filtrate elicits aromatic polyacetylenes in plant tissue culture

Secondary metabolites such as polyacetylenes which often accumulate to significant concentrations in intact plants are compounds for which biochemical or biological roles have yet to be firmly established. The authors have now succeeded in eliciting the synthesis of PHT and other polyacetylenes in c...

Zusammenfassung:Secondary metabolites such as polyacetylenes which often accumulate to significant concentrations in intact plants are compounds for which biochemical or biological roles have yet to be firmly established. The authors have now succeeded in eliciting the synthesis of PHT and other polyacetylenes in callus tissue of B. pilosa using culture-filtrates derived from the oomycetous fungus Pythium aphanidermatum (Edson) Fitzp.
