The objective of this work was to take advantage of the resting cells of suitable fungus as an in vitro model to prepare gastrodin from p-2-hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA), which mainly exists in the metabolites of the plant Gastrodia elata Blume.

Allomones are widely used by insects to impede predation. Frequently these chemical stimuli are released from specialized glands. The larvae of Chrysomelina leaf beetles produce allomones in gland reservoirs into which the required precursors and also the enzymes are secreted

Larvae of a number of chrysomelid leaf beetles sequester phenol glucosides such as salicin from their food plants, i.e. Salix and Populus spp. Salicin is hydrolyzed in the glandular reservoir of the defensive glands. The resulting salicyl alcohol (saligenin) is
