Veratrole
Veratrole (1,2-Dimethoxybenzene) is a key compound that widely exists in plants and attracts pollinators. The release of Veratrole has a circadian rhythm and plays an important role in plant reproduction, species differentiation, and interactions with pollinators. In addition, Veratrole can be demethylated by cytochrome P-450 in Streptomyces setonii[1][2][3].
