Abstract
Abstract Feeding experiments in CuCl 2 -treated French bean ( Phaseolus vulgaris ) seedlings have demonstrated that labelled 2′,4′,4-trihydroxychalcone, daidzein, 7,2′,4′-trihydroxyisoflavone, 3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan and phaseollidin are all good precursors of the pterocarpan phytoalexin phaseollin. These compounds represent a logical sequence in the biosynthetic pathway to phaseollin.
