| Description | Coniferin (Abietin) has ATP-dependent transport activity and has anti-oxidation effects. Coniferin has preferred substrates for the coniferin beta-glucosidase, the chromogenic coniferin analogue show the exclusive presence of beta-glucosidase activity in the differentiating xylem, similar to peroxidase activity. |
