Canoia, lettuce, green bean, dwarf pea, tobacco, tomato, poplar, corn, wheat, and cucumber leaves were extracted by boiling with 95% ethanol. The ethanol was removed from the ethanol‐water extract, and the water‐soluble fraction was centrifuged and filtered to remove compounds with a molecular weight > 1 000 D. The undersides of the first true leaf of a cucumber plant (leaf 1) and the leaf above (leaf 2) were sprayed with each plant extract (induction), and 7 days later leaf 3 was inoculated with a conidial suspension of Colletotrichym lagenarium (challenge). Extracts from all plants tested induced systemic resistance in leaf 3 to C. lagenarium. Commercially available compounds were screened to determine structural similarities among the compounds which can induce systemic resistance. All compounds which induced resistance in leaf 3 caused some damage to leaves 1 and 2. but not all compounds which damaged leaves 1 and 2 induced resistance in leaf 3. Galacturonic acid, glucuronic acid, salicyhc acid, m‐hydroxybenzoic acid, p‐hydroxybenzoic acid, y‐resorcylic acid, protocatecbuic acid, gallic acid, hemimelletic acid, trimelletic acid, trimesic acid, phloroglucinol, and glycine induced systemic resistance, whereas catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, pyrogaLol, hydroxyhydroquinone, benzoic acid, phthalic acid, α‐resorcylic acid, β‐resorcylic acid, gentisic acid. 2, 3‐dihydroxybenzoic acid, benzaldehyde, 2,3‐dihydroxybenzaldehyde, β‐resorcaldehyde, protocatechuic aldehyde, benzyl alcohol, salicyl alcohol, myo‐inositol, phytic acid, pinitol, and quebrachitol did not. Structural similarities were not evident among either compounds which induced systemic resistance or those that did not.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
