▪ Abstract Rapid generation of superoxide and accumulation of H2O2 is a characteristic
early feature of the hypersensitive response following perception of pathogen avirulence …

The functions of phenylpropanoid compounds in plant defence range from preformed or
inducible physical and chemical barriers against infection to signal molecules involved in …

Phenylpropanoid compounds encompass a wide range of structural classes and biological
functions. Limiting discussion to stress-induced phenylpropanoids eliminates few of the …

Advances in the flavonoid field have been nothing short of spectacular over the last 20
years. While the medical field has noticed flavonoids for their potential antioxidant …

There is growing recognition that many phenolic secondary metabolites present in foodstuffs
may possibly exert beneficial effects on human health. This may to some degree be …

Phenylpropanoids can function as preformed and inducible antimicrobial compounds, as
well as signal molecules, in plant–microbe interactions. Since we last reviewed the field 8 …

In nature, chiral natural products are usually produced in optically pure form—however,
occasionally both enantiomers are formed. These enantiomeric natural products can arise …

A rapid and substantial progress to a broad understanding of flavonoid biosynthesis marked
the previous reviews of this series of books (Hahlbrock and Grisebach, 1975; Ebel and …

Two nuclear genes, Nic1 and Nic2, regulate nicotine levels in tobacco. nic1 and nic2 are
semidominant mutations in Burley 21 that reduce leaf nicotine levels and the activities of …

Herbivore‐induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), in addition to attracting natural enemies of
herbivores, can serve a signaling function within plants to induce or prime defenses …
