Description

General description

6-Amyl-α-pyrone occurs naturally in peaches. It is also the main volatile organic compound produced by Trichoderma species.

Application

• Demonstrating the Applicability of Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry to Quantify Volatiles Emitted by the Mycoparasitic Fungus Trichoderma atroviride in Real Time: Monitoring of Trichoderma-Based Biopesticides.: This study showcases how Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry can be used to monitor volatile organic compounds such as 6-Amyl-alpha-pyrone emitted by Trichoderma atroviride. The findings have significant implications for real-time monitoring and efficacy assessment of biopesticides, contributing to sustainable agriculture practices and biocontrol agent development (Ruzsanyi V et al., 2024).


• Chemotropism Assays for Plant Symbiosis and Mycoparasitism Related Compound Screening in Trichoderma atroviride.: 6-Amyl-alpha-pyrone is used as a standard in chemotropism assays, which are critical for screening compounds that facilitate plant symbiosis and mycoparasitism. This research is vital for identifying new bioactive compounds that can improve the interactions between beneficial fungi and host plants, advancing both agricultural and ecological research (Zeilinger S et al., 2020).
