Allelopathy, the negative effect on plants of chemicals released to the surroundings by a neighboring plant, is an important factor which contributes to the spread of some weeds in plant communities. In this field, Stellera chamaejasme L. (Thymelaeaceae) is one of the most toxic and
Recent studies on the biosynthesis of proanthocyandins have identified key genes and enzymes in the formation of 2,3-cis-flavan-3-ols (epiafzelechin, epicatechin, and epigallocatechin). However, the enzymes that catalyze the polymerization of monomer units remain unknown. Studies of proanthocyanidin
Our understanding of proanthocyanidin (syn. condensed tannin) synthesis has been recently extended by substantial developments concerning both structural and regulatory genes. A gene encoding leucoanthocyanidin reductase has been obtained from the tropical forage, Desmodium uncinatum, with the
