“…Common metabolites of the roots of Salvia species are diterpenoids with abietane skeletons [ 2 , 9 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 , 101 , 102 , 103 ] that are known to have role in plant chemical defense [ 104 , 105 ] and display a wide spectrum of biological properties [ 9 ]. Chemical analysis of the hairy roots of S. austriaca , S. broussonetii , S. castanea , S. miltiorrhiza , and S. sclarea ( Table S4 , Supplementary Materials ) highlighted the presence of abietane diterpenoids.…”
