Theobroxide, a novel compound isolated from a fungus Lasiodiplodia theobromae, stimulates potato tuber formation and induces flowering of morning glory by initiating the jasmonic acid synthesis pathway. To elucidate the effect of theobroxide on pathogen resistance in plants, Nicotiana benthamiana plants treated with theobroxide were immediately infiltrated with Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci. ...

The technology of dyeing wood by microorganisms is a kind pollution-free and sustainable technology. To achieve fast rich Lasiodiplodia theobromae on the surface poplar wood, tyrosinase tricyclazole were used as induction factors in this experiment. results showed that L. had better effect cross-section induced with tricyclazole. color ranged from light yellow to gray brown, chromatic aberratio...
