Mode of Action of the Natural Product Allicin in a Plant Model: Influence on the Cytoskeleton and Subsequent Shift in Auxin Localization
Allicin is a defense substance produced by garlic cells when they are injured. It is a redox-active thiosulfinate showing redox-activity with a broad range of dose-dependent antimicrobial and biocidal activity. It is known that allicin efficiently oxidizes thiol-groups, and it has been described as...
