Plant growth regulators from the fruiting bodies of Tricholoma flavovirens

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 2017 Mar;81(3):441-444. doi: 10.1080/09168451.2016.1249453. Epub 2017 Jan 24.

Abstract

A novel indole derivative (1) and three known compounds (2-4) were isolated from the fruiting bodies of Tricholoma flavovirens. Their structures were determined or identified by the interpretation of spectroscopic data. Compounds 1 and 2 promoted root growth of lettuce and inhibited hypocotyl growth at 1 μmol/paper. Compound 3 inhibited hypocotyl and root growth at 100 nmol/paper.

Keywords: Tricholoma flavovirens; mushroom; plant growth regulating activity; structural determination.
