Airborne signalling by methyl salicylate in plant pathogen resistance

Methyl salicylate, a volatile liquid, also known as oil of winter-green, is made by a number of plants 1–9 . Here we show that methyl salicylate is a major volatile compound produced by tobacco plants inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus. Methyl salicylate is synthesized from salicylic acid, a non-v...

description Methyl salicylate, a volatile liquid, also known as oil of winter-green, is made by a number of plants 1–9 . Here we show that methyl salicylate is a major volatile compound produced by tobacco plants inoculated with tobacco mosaic virus. Methyl salicylate is synthesized from salicylic acid, a non-volatile chemical signal required for the establishment of acquired resistance 10 and local and systemic induction of antimicrobial pathogenesis-related proteins 11 . Methyl salicylate acts by being converted back to salicyclic acid. We conclude that methyl salicylate may function as an airborne signal which acitvates disease resistance and the expression of defence-related genes in neighbouring plants and in the healthy tissues of the infected plant.
