Abstract excerpt
Phytosterols, natural active components widely distributed in plants, commonly include β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and campesterol. However, identifying their synthesis intermediates can be challenging because access to corresponding commercial standard compounds is not always possible. To overcome these limitations, we synthesized phytosterol intermediates by co-infecting Nicotiana benthamiana with verified...
