Resveratrol was glucosylated to its 3- and 4'-β-glucosides by cultured cells of Phytolacca americana. On the other hand, cultured P. americana cells glucosylated pterostilbene to its 4'-β-glucoside. P. americana cells converted piceatannol into its 4'-β-glucoside. The 3- and 4'-β-glucosides of
Using the pathosystem Phaseolus vulgaris-tobacco necrosis virus (TNV), we demonstrated that PD-L1 and PD-L4, type-1 ribosome inactivating proteins (RIPs) from leaves of Phytolacca dioica L., possess a strong antiviral activity. This activity was exerted both when the RIPs and the virus
