Abstract
An isoflavonoid derivative has been isolated as a phytoalexin from int act plants and cell suspension cultures of Ornithopus sativus after tr eatment with CuSO4, yeast elicitor, or a spore suspension of Colletotr ichum trifolii. Based on its physical and spectroscopic properties the substance was identified as glabridin. After induction, the transient increase in the content of this phytoalexin was preceded by a transie nt increase in the activities of PAL and CHS.
