Accumulation of azafrin in the root apoplast of the medicinal plant Escobedia grandiflora might play a role in parasitism
[Societal Impact Statement] Escobedia grandiflora is a medicinal hemiparasite that occurs naturally in non-forested communities in Central and South America. Parasitic plants accumulate high levels of a water-soluble orange pigment in roots that was once among the most important food dyes in the And...

| Sumario: | [Societal Impact Statement] Escobedia grandiflora is a medicinal hemiparasite that occurs naturally in non-forested communities in Central and South America. Parasitic plants accumulate high levels of a water-soluble orange pigment in roots that was once among the most important food dyes in the Andean region. We conclusively address the chemical identification of this pigment and provide molecular and cellular insights on its biosynthesis and possible function. |
