Piper haugtii, Plant histology, specialized metabolites, secretory cellsAbstract
The genus Piper has been extensively studied in terms of the production of specialized metabolites, as alkaloids/amides, polyphenols, lignans, terpenes, steroids, and flavones have been reported [1;2]. In addition, this genus is rich in essential oils, which have been evaluated for their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties [3]. Specifically, Piper haugtii has been assessed as a repellent of Sitophilus zeamais [4].
