Abstract
Cell-free extracts derived from tissue cultures of Cassia didymobotrya , which previously had been reported to convert 4-hydroxychalcones to flavones and biflavanones, catalyze the biotransformation of 2-hydroxy chalcones to aurones and auronols. The aurone was shown to be the dire ct precursor of auronol.
