Abstract
The role of PPO as a defence mechanism against pathogens and insects was investigated in coffee leaves regarding resistance against the coffee leaf miner and coffee leaf rust. We concluded that coffee resistance may be related to the oxidative potential of the tissue regarding the phenolic composition rather than simply to a higher PPO activity.
