Metabolic Changes during Defense Responses against Wound Stresses in Citrus Plants
Description
Citrus plants are well known as a rich source of functional chemicals; however, metabolites involved in defense responses against environmental stresses are not yet well understood. Among environmental stresses, mechanical wounding is a continuous threat toward the growth and survival of plants. Recent advances in analytical technology and informatics enable comprehensive analysis of primary and secondary metabolites. In this chapter, metabolic profiling of leaf metabolites in seven Citrus species during responses against wound stress as well as defense-related phytohormone treatments was described. Moreover, we discussed current metabolomic techniques, application of these techniques to researches on Citrus defense responses and metabolic profiling-oriented identification of novel compounds.
