Metabolite Identification
Common Name8-O-methylbostrycoidin
Description8-O-methylbostrycoidin is a polyketide metabolite produced by various species of the fungus Fusarium, which is known to infect plant crops such as maize. The chemical structure of 8-O-methylbostrycoidin features a complex arrangement typical of polyketides, characterized by a series of carbon chains and functional groups that contribute to its pigment properties. This metabolite has been detected in different cultural conditions, including cracked maize kernel cultures, where it was the sole metabolite identified (PMID:31825746 ). Advanced analytical techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry, have been employed to characterize its production and measure its concentration in agricultural settings (PMID:29371560 ). These methodologies have demonstrated the ability to detect 8-O-methylbostrycoidin at low concentrations, indicating its potential relevance in monitoring Fusarium infections in maize (PMID:29371560 ). Overall, 8-O-methylbostrycoidin exemplifies the intricate chemical diversity of fungal metabolites and their roles in plant-pathogen interactions.
