TITLE: A UNIFIED SYNTHETIC STRATEGY TOWARDS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A FAMILY OF FUNGAL METABOLITES: THE SYNTHESIS OF (+)- MYCORRHIZIN A AND (-)-GILMICOLIN; STUDIES TOWARDS THE SYNTHESIS OF (+)-MIKROLIN

DESCRIPTORS: CHEMISTRY, ORGANIC
ABSTRACT: This dissertation describes a unified strategy towards the construction of a family of fungal metabolites, which includes (+)-mycorrhizin A (1), (-)-gilmicolin (2), and (+)-mikrolin (3). Central to this approach was the use of a common advanced intermediate, enone 4, as an entry to all members of this class of compounds. Enone 4 was available in optically active form from alcohol 5 via a chiral hydroboration. The enantioselective synthesis of (+)-mycorrhizin A was completed from enone 4 using vinylsilane methodology to generate the Z-chloropropene unit.

Completion of the synthesis of (-)-gilmicolin occurred by the use of a hydroxy-directed homoallylic epoxidation to transfer the chirality in place in enone 4 to the remote three-carbon side chain. (DIAGRAM, TABLE OR GRAPHIC OMITTED...PLEASE SEE DAI) Approaches towards the synthesis of (+)-mikrolin involved advanced intermediate 4 (R'=OH), which would be available from the corresponding diol 5 (R=OH). Formation of this intermediate (5) was investigated using a hydroxy-directed hydroboration and a carbonyl homologation of olefin 6. Olefin 6 was prepared in homochiral form via a sulfoximine resolution of the corresponding benzofuranone.

ABSTRACT: Soybean forms a symbiotic association with rhizobial bacteria, and vesicular-arbuscular-mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. This tripartite association of soybean-Rhizobium-VAM fungi could enhance crop production by increasing the efficiency of plant nutrition. A series of sand culture experiments were carried out in a greenhouse at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to determine the influence of P and N nutrition on VAM infection and VAM-induced growth benefits.

Nodulating and nonnodulating isolines of soybeans (Glycine max Merr. cv Clay) were supplied with Hydroxyapatite or dicalcium phosphate with N nutrition from 100% NO(,3)('-), 25% NH(,4)('+) and 75% NO(,3)('-), or 50% urea and 50% NO(,3)('-). Treatments containing NH(,4)('+) and urea will be referred to as the ammonium and urea regimes. Plants treated with the urea regime exhibited the highest percentage of VAM infection, and the infection increased the tissue N content of these plants relative to the nonmycorrhizal plants. Enhancement of tissue P accumulation through VAM was greater with hydroxyapatite than with dicalcium phosphate. Since they received adequate N, nonnodulating plants benefitted more from mycorrhizal infection than nodulating plants. Nodulating soybeans exhibited mycorrhizal benefits when the following factors were met: (1) greater than 70% infection with VAM; (2) availability of a reduced N form; (3) a root N/P ratio approaching 15; and (4) a soil pH approaching 7. These conditions were met best by urea nutrition. For the nonnodulating isoline, a neutral pH was not essential for determining VAM benefits. Ammonium or urea nutrition met the first 3 conditions for these plants. Effects of foliar or soil applications of P on the establishment and progression of mycorrhizal infection were investigated. High levels of P, either in soil or foliarly applied, inhibited VAM infection. The action of soil P in inhibiting VAM infection was limited to the establishment of infection. Kinetic parameters of phosphate uptake were determined.

Mycorrhizally infected roots depleted culture solution P faster than nonmycorrhizal roots and were characterised by lower P efflux values than nonmycorrhizal roots. Mycorrhizal roots had a higher V(,max) value than nonmycorrhizal roots but did not exhibit a higher affinity for phosphate than nonmycorrhizal roots.

TITLE: MICROFUNGAL POPULATIONS AND INTERACTIONS IN THE MYCORRHIZOSPHERE OF BLACK SPRUCE
AUTHOR: SUMMERBELL, RICHARD CHARLES
DEGREE: PH.D.

SOURCE: DAI, VOL. 47-10B, Page 4044, 00001 Pages
DESCRIPTORS: BOTANY
ABSTRACT: The microfungal populations occurring in association with healthy ectomycorrhizal root tips of Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. (black spruce) in nature were examined. Spruce roots from different boreal forest sites were collected and serially washed. For comparison, roots of the endomycorrhizal plant Cornus canadensis L. were also sampled. Mycorrhizae, root bark fragments, and rhizosphere soil dilutions were plated out on fungal growth media. A total of 932 microfungal strains were obtained from all samples. The most common species associated with spruce mycorrhizae were: Mycelium radicis atrovirens alpha Melin, an unnamed sterile hyaline fungus ("Sterile white 1"), Micromucor isabellinus (Oudem.) v. Arx, and Penicillium spinulosum Thom. C. canadensis roots yielded similar fungal assemblages, differing mainly in the common occurrence of a species of Phoma. Spruce root bark fragments yielded assemblages highly similar to those obtained from ectomycorrhizae. Only one species, Trichoderma polysporum (Link) Rif., appeared to be primarily associated with ectomycorrhizae themselves.

Rhizosphere soil dilutions were characterized by low numbers of sterile Hyphomycetes and a large number of species not found on washed ectomycorrhizae or root bark. In site comparisons, Fusarium spp. were found to be associated with spruce root systems on a clearcut site. "Sterile white 1" was particularly characteristic of mycorrhizae growing in a Sphagnum bog site.

The ability of common mycorrhiza-associated fungi to influence mycorrhiza-formation in vitro was examined. Individual test microfungi and the mycorrhizal symbiont Laccaria bicolor (Maire) Ort. were co-inoculated onto black spruce seedlings in axenic culture. Mycorrhiza-formation was assessed after 6 wk. Two Trichoderma species, T. viride Pers. and T. polysporum, had a strong negative effect on mycorrhia-formation. Two other test organisms, Tolypocladium inflatum Gams and Trichosporon beigelii (Kuch. & Rab.) Vuill., caused a low but significant inhibition. Other microfungal test organisms, including M. r. atrovirens alpha, "Sterile white 1," Penicillium spinulosum, and Fusarium proliferatum (Mats.) Nirenb., had no adverse effect on mycorrhiza-formation. In further in vitro trials, certain microfungi were seen to invade cortical cells of non-mycorrhizal spruce roots. Fusarium proliferatum and Trichosporon beigelii were two such fungi. Mycorrhiza-formation greatly reduced the occurrence of these cortical invasions.
