Plant glucose ester conjugates

Plant. Degrades in plants to N-glucoside, glucose ester, conjugates, and insoluble residues (Ashton and Monaco, 1991). 

Glucose ester conjugates can be formed very rapidly in plants m-phenoxybenzolc acid was metabolized in 81% yield to a glucose ester conjugate within 18 hr in excised cotton leaves (51 ), N-benzoyl-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-DL-alanine was metabolized in 85% yield to simple and complex glucose esters within 24 hr in oat ( ), and dlclofop-methyl was metabolized by hydrolysis and glucose ester conjugation in 54% yield within 24 hr in oat root (32). 

Esterification of 2,4-D with plant constituents via conjugation formed the p-D-glucose ester of 2,4-D (Thomas et ah, 1964). 

Malonate hemi-ester glucose conjugates of xenobiotics are one of the most common forms of complex glucoside conjugate produced In plants. They are formed by the action of malonyl CoA transferase on glucose conjugates In the presence of malonyl CoA as Indicated In Equation 14. At least 9 pesticides have been Isolated from 7...
