Abstract
Pea (legume plant defense) phytoalexin pterocarpans (-)-maackiain and (+)-pisatin have opposite C6a and C11a configurations, but how this occurs biosynthetically is unknown. Herein, pea dirigent-protein (DP) PsPTS2, which generates 7,2'-dihydroxy-4',5'-methylenedioxyisoflav-3-ene (DMDIF), was . . .
