Sakuranetin, the Glossary

Sakuranetin is a flavan-on, the 7-methoxy derivative of naringenin, found in Polymnia fruticosa and rice, where it acts as a phytoalexin against spore germination of Pyricularia oryzae.^[1]

Demethylation

Demethylation is the chemical process resulting in the removal of a methyl group (CH3) from a molecule.

Flavanone

The flavanones, a type of flavonoids, are various aromatic, colorless ketones derived from flavone that often occur in plants as glycosides.

Magnaporthe grisea, also known as rice blast fungus, rice rotten neck, rice seedling blight, blast of rice, oval leaf spot of graminea, pitting disease, ryegrass blast, Johnson spot, neck blast, wheat blast and, is a plant-pathogenic fungus and model organism that causes a serious disease affecting rice.

Naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase

Naringenin 7-O-methyltransferase (NOMT) (full systematic name S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(2S)-5,7,4'-trihydroxyflavanone 7-O-methyltransferase) is a methyltransferase isolated from rice, which catalyzes the biosynthesis of sakuranetin.

Phytoalexin

Phytoalexins are antimicrobial substances, some of which are antioxidative as well. Sakuranetin and Phytoalexin are Phytoalexins.

S-Adenosyl methionine

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation.
