A twofold increase in 3',4'-anhydrovinblastine was shown in treated leaves especially from day 8 until day 21. Serpentine also increased in the same period under the treatment as a catabolic product of ajmalicine. Basic peroxidases that are responsible for the formation of anhydrovinblastine and serpentine showed high activity at days 8 and 21 in treated leaves, causing the increase in anhydrovinblastine and serpentine UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/16Y9u-cNNnyEOIbHBKCB5tcnmTIDmkcEq/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
