Abstract
Resveratrol, a grapevine phytoalexin, is metabolized by a laccase-like stilbene-oxidase of Botrytis cinerea, the causal organism for grey mo uld. Characterization of one major metabolite formed during this degra dation process as a resveratrol dehydrodimer allowed us to precize the reaction mechanism of this enzyme on stilbenes.
