Abstract
The accumulation of the pterocarpan derivate glyceollin I is an early response of soybean (Glycine max) roots to infection with an incompatible race of the fungus Phvtophthora megasperma f.sp. glvcinea (Pmg) and is correlated with the inhibition of fungal growth (Hahn et al 1985). Starting from 4-coumaroyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA the biosynthesis of glyceollin involves nine enzymatic steps, which have all been characterized. For purification of enzymes soybean cell suspension cultures challenged with a Pmg or yeast elicitor were used in most cases.
