Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to lipochitooligosaccharides obtainable from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and which are useful for stimulating arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis, and lateral root formation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for stimulating mycorrhization of a plant which comprises contacting the plant, a part, a seedling or a seed thereof with a mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consisting of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I): wherein n=2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H; and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n=3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consists of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 carbon atoms and R 2 is H; and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 carbon atoms, and R 2 is H. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consists of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H; and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 18 carbon atoms, and R 2 is H. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides is used at a concentration of 10 −5 to 10 −12 M. 5. A method for stimulating lateral root formation of a non-legume plant which comprises contacting said plant, a part, a seedling or a seed thereof with a mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consisting of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I): wherein n=2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H; and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n=3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 or 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H. 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consists of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 carbon atoms and R 2 is H; and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 16 carbon atoms and R 2 is H. 7. The method of claim 5 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides consists of a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 2, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 18 carbon atoms and R 2 is H SO 3 H, and a lipochitooligosaccharide defined by the formula (I), wherein n is 3, R 1 is a saturated or monounsaturated fatty acid chain containing 18 carbon atoms, and R 2 is H. 8. The method of claim 5 , wherein said mixture of lipochitooligosaccharides is used at a concentration of 10 −5 to 10 −12 M.
