The accumulation of beta-ionone and 3-hydroxy esters of beta-ionone in tobacco immunized by foliar inoculation with tobacco mosaic virus

beta-Ionone and several 3-hydroxy esters of beta-ionone have been reported to have antifungal activity. Stem injection with beta-ionone mimics the effects of stem injection with Peronospora tabacina sporangiospores. Both induce systemic resistance to blue mold and accelerate the growth and flowering...

Description
Summary:beta-Ionone and several 3-hydroxy esters of beta-ionone have been reported to have antifungal activity. Stem injection with beta-ionone mimics the effects of stem injection with Peronospora tabacina sporangiospores. Both induce systemic resistance to blue mold and accelerate the growth and flowering of the plant. Systemic resistance induced by foliar inoculation with tobacco mosaic virus is associated with increases in the endogenous levels of beta-ionone, 3-hydroxy-beta-ionone, 3-n-butyroyl-beta-ionone, and 3-acetoyl-beta-ionone in uninfected stem tissue. Further increases in 3-n-butyroyl-beta-ionone and 3-acetoyl-beta-ionone occurred in protected plants in response to challenge inoculation with P. tabacina
