the concise total synthesis of eight natural products of the mugineic acid and avenic acid families (phytosiderophores). An innovative „east‐to‐west“ assembly of the trimeric products resulted in a high degree of divergence enabling the formation of the final products in just 10 or 11 steps each with a minimum of overall synthetic effort. Chiral pool starting materials (l‐malic acid, threonines) were
Avenic acid A (1), an amino acid derivative possessing an iron chelating activity and excretedfrom the root of Avena sativa L. was synthesized in optically active form by successive reductive coupling of protected L-aspartic β-semialdehyde and L-malic semialdehyde with L-homoserine lactone. 2′-Deoxymugineicacid (2), a related substance was also synthesized by the same method by which the stereostructure
Avenic acid A (1) 是一种氨基酸衍生物,具有铁螯合活性,从 Avena sativa L. 的根中分泌出来,通过受保护的 L-天冬氨酸 β-半醛和 L-苹果酸半醛与 L-天冬氨酸 β-半醛和 L-苹果半醛的连续还原偶联,以旋光形式合成。 L-高丝氨酸内酯。2'-脱氧麦根酸(2),也用同样的方法合成了相关物质,证明该氨基酸衍生物的立体结构为2(S),3'(S),3"(S)-N -[3-(3-羟基-3-羧丙基氨基)-3-羧丙基]-氮杂环丁烷-2-羧酸。

Compositions and method of delivering a molecule to a plant are provided. In an embodiment, an avenic acid transporter is introduced into a plant. The plant may be a non-graminacious or dicotyledonous plant which does not comprise the transporter in the wild type form. The transporter may be modified to increase uptake of avenic acid along with iron chelated by the avenic acid and/or a molecule conjugated with the avenic acid. Further embodiments provide for conjugating the avenic acid with a molecule for uptake and delivery to the plant. In this manner plant health may be improved by uptake of iron where it would otherwise not occur and/or uptake of the conjugated molecule. The molecule may be a molecule that improves health of the plant. Still further embodiments provide for analogs of avenic acid. Embodiments provide for interplanting
Avena sativa
which natively produces avenic acid with another plant. Additional embodiments provide for time release of avenic acid provided to a plant.

Compositions and methods are provided where a plant comprising an avenic acid transporter is planted in a field with a target plant in need of increased iron uptake. The plant comprising the avenic acid transporter in an embodiment further comprises one or more constructs comprising nucleic acid molecules expressing heavy and light chains forming an antibody specific to the avenic acid transporter or functional small peptide and may also include a sequence targeting the apoplast. The antibody or functional small peptide is operably linked to a floral promoter or inducible natural or synthetic promoter. Upon expression regulated by the floral promoter or exposure to the inducing conditions, or both, the plant increases its production of avenic acid transporter antibodies, enters senescence and eventually dies. As a result, the plant is not harvested with the target plant, provides a cover crop, and does not continue to use nutrients, and other resources that benefit the targeted plant. Increased avenic acid is produced by the plant prior to dying in response to Fe
3+
starvation induced by inactivation of the Fe
+3
/phytosiderophore transporter.
