Journal ArticleDOI
Advances in flavonoid research since 1992.
TL;DR: Some of the recent advances in flavonoid research are reviewed and the role of anthocyanins and flavones in providing stable blue flower colours in the angiosperms is outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Natural products and plant disease resistance
TL;DR: Genetic and reverse genetic approaches are providing evidence for the importance of natural products in host defence, and metabolic engineering of natural product pathways is now a feasible strategy for enhancement of plant disease resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phenylpropanoid pathway and plant defence—a genomics perspective
Richard A. Dixon,Lahoucine Achnine,Parvathi Kota,Chang-Jun Liu,M. S. Srinivasa Reddy,Liangjiang Wang +5 more
TL;DR: The availability of the complete genome sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana, and the extensive expressed sequence tag resources in other species allow, for the first time, a full appreciation of the comparative genetic complexity of the phenylpropanoid pathway across species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preformed Antimicrobial Compounds and Plant Defense against Fungal Attack.
TL;DR: A complementary approach involving the study of fungal mechanisms of resistance to preformed inhibitors, and of the contribution of this resistance to fungal pathogenicity to the relevant host plants, offers another route toward investigating the importance of these inhibitors in plant defense.

Disease resistance results from foreign phytoalexin expression in a novel plant
Ruediger Hain,H. J. Reif,E Krause,R Langebartels,Helmut Kindl,Barbara Vornam,W Wiese,Elmon Schmelzer,P H Schreier,Ronald Helmut Stöcker +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported here that regenerated tobacco plants containing stilbene synthase genes are more resistant to infection by Botrytis cinerea, the first report of increased disease resistance in transgenic plants based on an additional foreign phytoalexin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Phytoalexins in Sorghum as a Site-Specific Response to Fungal Ingress
TL;DR: This site-restricted synthesis suggests that the phytoalexin response occurs initially in the first cells that come under fungal attack and is not simply a response of cells that surround the original infection site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sakuranetin, a flavanone phytoalexin from ultraviolet-irradiated rice leaves
TL;DR: A new rice phytoalexin, sakuranetin (5,4′-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone) was isolated from ultraviolet-irradiated rice leaves and the content in a resistant cultivar after infection with P. oryzae was much higher than in a susceptible cultivar.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phytoalexins of oat leaves: 4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-ones or amides?
Leslie Crombie,Jayshree Mistry +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the major phytoalexin of oat leaves is not the 4-H-3,1-benzoxazin-4 one previously reported, but the corresponding amide.
