Analysis and determination of the detoxification products was performed by HPLC using the system and the method described below. For preparation of 500 ml incubation solution the isomers were pre-solved in 1 ml methanol and sonicated for 5 min before adding tap water.
Root extracts were performed as described in Schulz and Wieland (1998) . Peroxidase activity at living root surfaces was detected by bathing the roots (1 seedling / 15 ml Falcon tube) in 10 ml 0.1 mM acetate buffer pH 5.0 supplemented with 1.6 ml 2 mM ABTS (Roche Diagnostics, Germany) and 0.6 ml 15 mM H2O2 (Sigma-Merck, Germany). Sites with peroxidase activity immediately turned dark or black-green. Catalase activity elicited by BOA-6,5,4-OH was concluded from bubble formation according to Schellhorn and Stones (1992) (link) and Wheelis (2008) , presenting a non-destructive method.
