Photosynthesis-derived carbohydrate supply sustains CuCl2-induced phytoalexin production in rice leaves
Phytoalexins are antimicrobial metabolites whose biosynthesis is triggered by signaling activated by both biotic and abiotic elicitors, but the physiological conditions that sustain their production remain poorly understood. Here, we examined how light and carbohydrate availability affect CuCl2-induced production of diterpenoid (phytocassanes and momilactones) and flavonoid (sakuranetin)…
