      Colneleic acid
      Colneleic acid is a divinyl ether-containing fatty acid produced from 9S-hydroperoxy-10E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid. Colneleic acid and the related colnelenic acid are found in leaves of potato plants infected by fungi or viruses, and they are believed to play a defensive role against potato blight.
