Glandular Trichomes of <i>Leucosceptrum canum</i> Harbor Defensive Sesterterpenoids

Abstract

On the defense: Sesterterpenoid 1 and its 11-dehydroxy derivative, which possess a unique C25 skeleton, have been isolated from the glandular trichomes of Leucosceptrum canum. They have potent antifeedant activities and inhibitory effects against pathogenic fungi, which suggest a role of sesterterpenoids in plant defense.
