چکیده
Leguminosae, Dolichos, Isoflavonoids, Phytoalexins, Structure Elucidation Genistein, 2'-hydroxygenistein, dalbergioidin, kievitone and phaseollidin have been found to accumulate in leaves and stems of Dolichos biflorus (horsegram) following inoculation with the non-pathogens Pseudomonas pisi and Phytophthora megasperma f. sp. glycinea, respectively. They are accompanied by isoferreirin (5,7,4'-trihydroxy-2'-methoxyisoflavanone), a compound not previously reported as a natural product. Coumestrol and psoralidin occur constitutively in Dolichos leaves and stems.

متن کاملIn Vivo Biosynthetic Studies of the Dolichos biflorus Seed Lectin.
The in vivo biosynthesis of the Dolichos biflorus seed lectin was studied by pulse-chase labeling experiments using [(35)S] methionine and [(14)C]glucosamine. These studies demonstrate that each of the two mature lectin subunit types are derived by the processing of separate glycosylated precursors. The appearance of the precursor to subunit I before the precursor to subunit II supports the pos...
