Abstract
A method has been described for the isolation of a crystalline fluorescent compound that occurs in Green Mountain potato tubers during the first year of infection with leaf roll virus. The substance was identified as 7-hydroxy-6-methoxy 1:2 benzopyrone (scopoletin), previously isolated by Best from tobacco plants, infected with tomato spotted wilt virus.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
