Article Synopsis
  • - Nonhost resistance (NHR) is a key form of innate immunity in plants, notably contributing to defense against rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, with specific genes like Arabidopsis PEN2 playing crucial roles in resistance.
  • - Researchers discovered that the gene MTHFR2 is essential for enhancing resistance to M. oryzae independently of PEN2, with MTHFR2-defective plants showing increased defense responses and altered metabolic profiles that affect the growth of the fungus.
  • - This study highlights MTHFR2 as a significant facilitator of NHR, indicating that folate-mediated 1C metabolism plays a critical role in plant defenses, providing insights that could enhance crop improvement

Propargyl 1,2-O-orthoesters are exploited for the synthesis of 1,2-trans O-glycosides of protected amino acids. N-Fmoc- and N-Cbz protected serine/threonine - benzyl/methyl esters reacted well with glucosyl-, galactosyl-, mannosyl- and lactosyl- derived propargyl 1,2-orthoesters affording respective 1,2-trans glycosides in good yields under AuBr(3)/4 Å MS Powder/CH(2)Cl(2)/rt. t-Boc serine derivative gave serine 1,2-orthoester and glycosyl carbamate.
