Stilbenic compounds recently have become the focus of a number of studies in medicine and plant physiology as well as have emerged as promising molecules that potentially affect human health. Stilbenes are relatively simple compounds synthesized by plants and deriving from the phenyalanine/polymalonate route, the last and key enzyme of this pathway being stilbene synthase. Here, we review the biological significance of stilbenes in plants together with their biosynthesis pathway and their metabolism both by fungi and in planta. Special attention will be paid to the role of stilbenic molecules as phytoalexins.
二苯乙烯类化合物最近成为医学和植物生理学领域多项研究的焦点，并且作为可能影响人类健康的有前途的分子而崭露头角。二苯乙烯类化合物是植物合成的相对简单的化合物，来源于苯丙氨酸/聚丙二酸盐途径，该途径的最后一个关键酶是二苯乙烯合酶。在这里，我们一起回顾了植物中二苯乙烯类化合物的生物学意义，以及它们的生物合成途径和真菌体内及体内的代谢。我们将特别关注二苯乙烯类分子作为植物抗毒素的作用。
