Legume tissue, phytoalexins

Recent progress has occurred In understanding the biochemistry that occurs In plant tissues treated with phytoalexin ellcitors. This work has been facilitated by the use of cloned plant genes encoding enzymes in phytoalexin biosynthetic pathways. Thus, In legumes. It... [Pg.123]

Plant tissue culture is an extremely useful tool for investigating biochemical and hormonal aspects of plant metabolism. Such systems have been applied to studies of host-pathogen interactions and secondary metabolism. My laboratory has been investigating the biochemical regulation of phytoalexin accumulation in host-pathogen interactions of cultured legumes. [Pg.61]
