However, this crop is highly susceptible to disease by Peronospora sparsa, a fungus that causes between 50 % and 70 % production loss. Plants respond to pathogen-induced damage by increasing the production of specific secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, which have broad industrial applications. This work estimated the antioxidant ca… Show more
