Four com pounds, 3,6-diisobutyl-2（1H）-pyrazinone（1）, 3-isobutyl-6-（1-hydroxy-2-methylpropyl）-2（1H）-pyrazinone（2）, 3-methoxy-4-methyl-2,4-dien-pentanoic acid（3） and penicillic acid（4） were obtained from the AcOEt extract of the culture broth. Their structures were elucidated mainly based on the NMR, HR-EI-MS and X-ray single crystal diffraction experimental data. Compound 3 is a new compound. Compound 1 was previously proposed to be the tautomer of flavacol（3,6-diisobutylpyrazin-2-ol, 5）. However, the evaluation of the NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction experimental data permitted us to propose that compound 1 existed as amide form instead oftautomers. Compound 1 is stable both in solution and crystal due to strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Incidentally supplying anthracenone to the GPY medium with a dose of 100 mg/L, the yield of penicillic acid（4） in the culture broth of the strain Aspergillus sp. was increased dramatically from 6 mg/L to 57 mg/L.展开更多

Now, the epigenetic molecular pathogenic basis is elusive. In this study, with methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism （MSAP） technique, DNA methylation was compared between the leaves inoculated with Foc TR4 and the mock-inoculated leaves at different pathogenic stages. With 25 pairs of primers, 1 144 and 1 255 fragments were amplified from the infected and mock-inoculated leaves, respectively. DNA methylation was both changed and the average methylated CCGG sequences were 34.81 and 29.26% for the infected and the mock-inoculated leaves. And DNA hypermethylation and hypomethylation were induced by pathogen infection during all pathogenic stages. Further, 69 polymorphic fragments were sequenced and 29 of them showed sequence similarity to genes with known functions. And RT-PCR results of four genes indicated that their expression patterns were consistent with their methylation patterns. Our results suggest that DNA methylation plays important roles in pathogenic response to Foc TR4 for banana.展开更多
