Her team showed that p - coumaric acid turns on not only P450 genes, but representatives of every other type of detoxification gene in the genome. (sciencedaily.com)
She hopes that future testing and development will yield honey substitutes that contain p - coumaric acid so beekeepers can enhance their bees» ability to withstand pathogens and pesticides. (sciencedaily.com)
