Resveratrol and resveratrol derivatives are naturally occurring stilbenes found in a number of plants and believed to function as phytoalexins, antibiotic compounds produced in plants as part of a pathogen defense mechanism. They have recently been associated with many potential health benefits as antioxidant and anticancer agents. This project built upon the work of Dr. Fabricio Medina-Bolivar in investigating trans-resveratrol and its derivatives in relation to the different levels of pathogen resistance found in peanut cultivars Hull and Andru II.
