Disease relevance of Salicaceae

Salicortin, a natural product abundant in most members of the Salicaceae family, is a mechanism-based inactivator of Agrobacterium faecalis beta-glucosidase [1].

High impact information on Salicaceae

The catabolization of the host-plant O-glucoside salicin into salicylaldehyde is a character state that evolved later in two distinct lineages, which specialized on Salicaceae [2].
Salicylaldehyde is the major repellent component of secretions emitted by larvae of Chrysomela vigintipunctata and C. lapponica, which feed on salicin-rich Salicaceae [3].
The water extract of Populus sieboldii Miquel (Salicaceae) inhibited arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregation [4].
RECOMMENDATIONS AND OUTLOOK: Both short rotation Salicaceae trees and conifer forests possess a dendroremediation potential for TNT polluted soils [5].
Response of fast growing woody plants from family Salicaceae to cadmium treatment [6].

Associations of Salicaceae with chemical compounds

The enzymatic decomposition of salicin and its derivatives obtained from Salicaceae species [7].
