Wyerone is a natural furanoterpenoid compound isolated from the roots of Lotus corniculatus and other legumes, known for its antimicrobial and phytoalexin properties. It plays a defensive role in plants by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The mechanism of action of wyerone involves disruption of microbial cell membranes and interference with essential enzymatic processes. Applications of wyerone are primarily in agricultural and plant pathology research, where it is studied for its potential use in enhancing crop resistance to pathogens.
