Horizontal Natural Product Transfer: Intriguing Insights into a Newly Discovered Phenomenon.

Just recently, the "Horizontal Natural Product Transfer" was unveiled: alkaloids, which have been leached out from decomposing alkaloidal donor plants, are taken up by the roots of acceptor plants. In the same manner, many other natural products, such as coumarins or stilbenes, are also taken up from the soil. Recent research outlined that alkaloids are transferred also from living donor into plants growing in their vicinity. In the acceptor plants the imported natural products might be modified by hydroxylation and glucosylation. These insights will strongly impact our understanding of contamination of plant derived commodities as well as of plant-plant interaction.
