Seasonal Changes Affect Root Prunasin Concentration in Prunus serotina and Override Species Interactions between P. serotina and Quercus petraea
Abstract
Prunasin, the cyanogenic glycoside characteristic of Prunus serotina (wild cherry) and the basis of its traditional antitussive action, was quantified in P. serotina roots across the growing season, showing that seasonal changes, light and temperature shape prunasin concentration more than interspecific competition.
