The primary structures of eight hexa(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitols purified from partially hydrolyzed Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea mycelial walls were determined by microscale glycosyl-sequence analysis. The elicitor-active hexa(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol had the following structure: (Formula: see text) The similarity in structure of six of the elicitor-inactive hexa(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitols to the elicitor-active hexa(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol established that a highly defined structure is required for elicitor activity. The elicitor-active hexa(beta-D-glucopyranosyl)-D-glucitol is the first example of a complex carbohydrate acting as a regulatory molecule in plants.
通过微量糖基序列分析确定了从部分水解的大豆疫霉大豆专化型菌丝壁中纯化得到的8种六（β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基）-D-山梨醇的一级结构。具有激发子活性的六（β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基）-D-山梨醇具有以下结构：（分子式：见正文）6种无激发子活性的六（β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基）-D-山梨醇与具有激发子活性的六（β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基）-D-山梨醇在结构上的相似性表明，激发子活性需要高度明确的结构。具有激发子活性的六（β-D-吡喃葡萄糖基）-D-山梨醇是复杂碳水化合物在植物中作为调节分子的首个实例。
