A conifer UDP-sugar dependent glycosyltransferase contributes to acetophenone metabolism and defense against insects
Acetophenones are phenolic compounds involved in the resistance of white spruce (Picea glauca) against spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferiana), a major forest pest in North America. The acetophenones pungenol and piceol commonly accumulate in spruce foliage in the form of the corresponding glycos...
