“…It is assumed that its main function in plants is to strengthen the cell walls and therefore prevent the entry of pathogens into suberizing tissue. The biosynthesis of hydroxycinnamoyl amides has been well studied, but a UGT capable of glucosylating phytoalexins has not been reported to date, although glucosides of the amides have been frequently found (Yahagi et al, 2010;Bolleddula et al, 2012;Nikoli c et al, 2012Nikoli c et al, , 2015Yang et al, 2012;Yim et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2013;Pei et al, 2015;Geng et al, 2017;Oliveira de Silva and Batista, 2017;Wang et al, 2017). The biological function of glucosides of hydroxycinnamoyl amides is unclear but they might play a similar role like monolignol glucosides in plant defence (Le Roy et al, 2016).…”
