Abstract:Salicylic acid (SA) is known to be an efficient elicitor of secondary metabolism in plants. Arbutin, a characteristic phenolic glycoside found in ‘Yuluxiang’ pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehder × Pyrus sinkiangensis Yu), is widely used in lightening agents, in addition to cough, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial remedies, among other applications. However, research into the synthesis of arbutin in pear is limited. This study aimed to clarify the effect of exogenous SA on the arbutin content of pear using HPL… Show more
