Abstract
The biogenesis of the 3-arylcoumarin coumestrol (I) in lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) has been investigated. In experiments with cinnamic acid-[3-14C] and acetate-[1-14C] it could be shown that these precursors are incorporated into coumestrol in the same manner as they are into isoflavones. Coumestrol is therefore biogenetically an isoflavonoid and not a coumarin.Keywords
