Proposed biosynthesis of sorgoleone from palmitoleoyl‐CoA. The involvement of one or more cytochrome P450s in the formation of dihydrosorgoleone from palmitoleoyl‐CoA is shown. Dihydrosorgoleone, the hydroquinone produced in vivo, is thought to undergo auto‐oxidation once secreted into the soil to yield sorgoleone, a more stable benzoquinone. ARS, alkylresorcinol synthase; DES, fatty acid desaturase; OMT, O‐methyltransferase; P450, cytochrome P450.
