A genome mining analysis on the deep-sea derived actinomycete Saccharopolyspora cebuensis MCCC 1A09850 indicated its potential to produce polypeptides. Accordingly, a systematic chemical investigation was conducted, which resulted in the isolation of one new cyclic tetrapeptide (saccharopolytide A, 1) and two known polyketides (2, 3) along with six other miscellaneous compounds (4‒9). Mainly by analysis of the 1D, 2D NMR and MS data, the chemical structure of saccharopolytide A was established as cyclo-(l-Leu-4-hydroxy-l-Pro-l-Phe-4-hydroxy-l-Pro).

Nicotiana rustica L. HZNH, a native Chinese tobacco germplasm, displays a hypersensitive response (HR) and systemic acquired resistance following infection with tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). A resistance gene, CN, cloned from HZNH plants, was homologous to the N and NH genes identified in other Nicotiana species.
