Two additional derivative compounds, compound la and lb, were synthesized by methylation and chlorination of compound 1, respectively. The structures of such compounds were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and by comparison of the corresponding data to those previously reported in the literature. Compounds 1-3 exhibited significantly phytotoxic activities against the radicle growth of Amaranthus retroflexus L. with the 50% inhibitory concentrations （ICso values） of 4.51, 4.80 and 8.16 μg· mL^-1, respectively, which is comparable to that positive control 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid （IC50=1.95 μg· mL^-1）. Furthermore, the compound 1 showed selective phytotoxic activity with the inhibition rate of less than 22% against the crops of Brassica rapa L., Sorghum durra, Brassica campestris L,, Capsicum annucm and Raphanus safivus L. under the concentration of 100 μg· mL^-1 Both derivatives of compound 1 had moderate phytotoxic activity against the radicle growth of A. retroflexus L. The findings of our present study suggest that these compounds provide new promising candidates for the potential management strategies of weeds.展开更多

However,studies investigating the infection process of C. cladosporioides are lacking. Therefore, this study aimed to elucidate the infection process by investigating the influence of microclimatic parameters(temperature, wetness and fungal age) in C. cladosporioides pathogenesis, activities of grape defense-related enzymes and grape quality during the infection. C. cladosporioides effectively infects grapes by developing distinct colonies on the artificial wounds and berry surfaces, completing its life cycle within 48 h. The C. cladosporioides disease incidence optimally occurred at 20 ℃ and 25 ℃. Wetness played an influential role in the infectivity of C. cladosporioides and 7-day-old C. cladosporioides resulted in the most serious disease incidence of table grapes. As a result of infection, the quality of grapes was affected, including berry weight, p H, titratable acidity(TA), total soluble solids(TSS), and ascorbic acid level. This infection also induced defense-related enzymes, including polyphenoloxidase(PPO), peroxidase(POD), phenylalanine ammonialyase(PAL), and catalase(CAT), at certain times. The findings of this study demonstrated that Cladosporium rot development depended on the microclimatic parameters of grapes, significantly affected the grape quality and induced grape's defense-related enzymes.展开更多

We recently found that CfHNNI1 （for Cladosporium fulvum host and nonhost plant necrosis inducer 1） is an inducer of plant hypersensitive response （HR） and nonhost resistance. In this study, its functional mechanism was analyzed. CfHNN11 was a single copy gene in C. fulvum genome. The functional ORF of the CfHNN11 cDNA was ATG3-TAG780, which showed homology with genes encoding bZIP transcription factors. The functional ORF included in frame an inner one ATG273-TAG780, which was sufficient to induce HR in plants. CfIINN11 induced plant HR in a dose-dependent manner. CfHNNIl-induced necrosis in NahG transgenic tomato plants was significantly stronger than that in their wild type controls. However, the necrosis in Nr and defl tomato mutants was similar to that in their corresponding wild type plants. These data demonstrate that induction of HR and nonhost resistance by CfHNNI1 is negatively regulated by salicylic acid signalling pathway but independent of ethylene and jasmonic acid signalling pathways.展开更多
