Changes in hydroxamic acid levels of wheat plants induced by aphid feeding
Hermann M. Niemeyer,Erika Pesel,Sylvia V. Copaja,Héctor R. Bravo,Stephan Franke,Stephan Franke,Wittko Francke,Wittko Francke +7 more
TL;DR: Seedlings of four wheat cultivars were infested with Metopolophium dirhodum nymphs, and after aphids had fed for 40 hr on the plants, the levels of the defense metabolite 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-1, 4-benzoxazin-3-one had changed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analogs of the cyclic hydroxamic acid 2,4-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3-one (DIMBOA): decomposition to benzoxazolinones and reaction with .beta.-mercaptoethanol
TL;DR: In this paper, a structure-activity series was produced by varying the substituent at C-7 on the aromatic ring [R=MeO, t-BU, Me, H, Cl, F, CO 2 Me], which suggests that reduction occurs by direct attack of thiolate on the hydroxamic nitrogen of a resonance-stabilized ion pair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antialgal and Antifungal Activity of Natural Hydroxamic Acids and Related Compounds
Héctor R. Bravo,Waldo Lazo +1 more
TL;DR: Hydroxamic acids and related compounds derived from 1,4-benzoxazin-3-one structures inhibited the growth of the alga Chlorella xanthella and the fungus Candida albicans and are suggested to be responsible for antialgal and antifungal activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydroxamic acids in Secale cereale L. and the relationship with their antifeedant and allelopathic properties.
TL;DR: A high percentage of germination inhibition of pure DIBOA and aqueous extracts of leaves and roots of rye (Tetra-Baer) seeds was observed and the activity is in agreement with the contents of hydroxamic acids in the plants.
