Metabolism of 14C-homodestruxin B (1), in leaves of plants R and S to A. brassicae

Species Cultivar % of homodestruxin B converted to hydroxyhomodestruxin B* tR = 21.5 min
S. alba Ochre (R) >90% in 24 h
B. juncea Cutlass (S) 10% in 24 h; 40% in 72 h
B. napus Westar (S) <10% in 72 h
*

Results are averages of experiments conducted in triplicate; percentage of conversion determined by HPLC analysis as described in Materials and Methods; areas of peaks determined in counts and converted to dpm utilizing a calibration curve; the total HPLC peak areas were within 10–20% of the LSC total counting. 

tR = retention time of compounds detected in Radiomatic detector.
