Abstract
Piceid, the 3-beta-glucoside of resveratrol, was observed in berries o f two of the three varieties tested. These results suggest that the so urce and fate of this glucoside could be related to the biosynthesis o f resveratrol and its production or loss in response to plant stress. Also, the levels of piceid in wine could affect the physiologically av ailable amounts of resveratrol to consumers of wine.
