Biotechnology of flavonoids and other phenylpropanoid-derived natural products. part i: chemical diversity, impacts on plant biology and human health

TL;DR: The diversity and biosynthetic origins of phenylpropanoids and particularly of the flavonoid and stilbenoid natural products are discussed, referring on their effects on human health and physiology and their roles as plant defense and antimicrobial compounds.

Secondary metabolites in fungus-plant interactions

TL;DR: The review introduces plant secondary metabolites usually with antifungal effect as well as the importance of signaling molecules in induced systemic resistance and systemic acquired resistance processes and the mimicking of plant effector molecules by fungal secondary metabolites.

Plant antimicrobial agents and their effects on plant and human pathogens.

TL;DR: The bioactivity of several phytoalexins and phy toanticipins defending plants against fungal and bacterial aggressors and those with antibacterial activities against pathogens affecting humans such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus involved in respiratory infections of cystic fibrosis patients are discussed.

The oxidative burst in plant disease resistance

TL;DR: Emerging data indicate that the oxidative burst reflects activation of a membrane-bound NADPH oxidase closely resembling that operating in activated neutrophils, which underlies the expression of disease-resistance mechanisms.

Oxidative burst: an early plant response to pathogen infection

TL;DR: The chemistry of ROS (superoxide radical, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radical) is described and the role of ROS in defence responses is demonstrated, and some important issues are considered, such as: which of the ROS is a major building element of the oxidative burst.

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

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.
