Hemigossypol (3), a sesquiterpene natural product, was previously isolated from Gossypium barbadense and was shown to display improved anti-fungal activity compared to gossypol (1), the disesquiterpene dimer of hemigossypol (3). Gossypol exhibits multiple biological activities. In order to study
We established an efficient fed-batch fermentation process for two novel dirigent proteins from cotton plants, GbDIR2 from Gossypium barbadense and GhDIR3 from G. hirsutum, using the engineered Pichia pastoris GlycoSwitch® SuperMan5 strain to prevent hyperglycosylation. The two (His)6-tagged
Phytoalexin biosynthesis occurred earlier in the resistant cotton cultivar Seabrook Sea Island 12B2 (SBSI) (Gossypium barbadense) than in the susceptible cotton cultivar Rowden (G. hirsutum) after inoculation with a defoliating isolate of the pathogen Verticillium dahliae. This was demonstrated by
The first step in the conversion of the isoprenoid intermediate, farnesyl diphosphate (FDP), to sesquiterpene phytoalexins in cotton (Gossypium barbadense) plants is catalyzed by delta-cadinene (CDN) synthase. CDN is the precursor of desoxyhemigossypol and hemigossypol defense sesquiterpenes. In
