Eugenol and basil essential oil as priming agents for enhancing Arabidopsis immune response.
Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
December 2024
Plants, as sessile organisms, must adapt to environmental changes and defend themselves against biotic stress, including pathogen attack. Their immune responses entail recognition of pathogen patterns, activation of defense mechanisms, and accumulation of various antimicrobial compounds. Eugenol, abundant in basil, has antibacterial properties and enhances plant resistance to viruses.

Aromatic compounds play essential roles in plant physiology and various industries because of their unique fragrances and beneficial properties. In this study, we investigated the transport and biosynthesis of eugenol, a prominent aromatic compound, within the genus, using grafting experiments. Grafting sweet basil () scions onto diverse rootstocks, including tobacco () and thyme (), revealed that eugenol is transported from the shoot to the root across distinct plant species.

- Reflection light is crucial for understanding our environment, but our visual system has limitations that prevent us from fully utilizing the information contained in reflection light, known as the 'reflectome'.
- Despite advancements in imaging technologies, there is still a lack of an affordable and versatile system for analyzing biological surfaces.
- The P-MIRU system addresses this gap by providing an open-source, customizable, and user-friendly multispectral and polarization imaging solution that enhances our ability to visualize and analyze reflection light from biological samples.
