Preparations with elicitation activity were obtained from the mycelium of Leptosphaeria maculans, a fungal pathogen of oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Crude delipidated and deproteinized extract from fungal cell walls induced expression of pathogenesis related gene 1 (PR1), hydrogen peroxide accumulation, and enhanced resistance of B. napus plants toward infection by L. maculans. Elicitation activity significantly decreased after treatment of a crude extract with 伪- or 尾-glucanase. Monosaccharide composition analysis of a crude extract purified by ion-exchange chromatography revealed glucose (58 mol %), mannose (22 mol %), and galactose (18 mol %) as the major sugars. FT-IR and NMR spectra confirmed the presence of both carbohydrate and polypeptide components in the purified product. Correlation NMR experiments defined trisaccharide bound to O-3 of serine residue 伪-d-Glcp-(1鈫?)-尾-d-Galf-(1鈫?)-伪-d-Manp-(1鈫?)-l-Ser. Terminal 伪-d-Glcp and (1鈫?)-尾-d-glucan were also detected. The obtained results strongly support the conclusion that these carbohydrates induce defense response in B. napus plants.
