The Apocarotenoid β-Cyclocitric Acid Elicits Drought Tolerance in Plants
Summary: β-Cyclocitral (β-CC) is a volatile compound deriving from 1O2 oxidation of β-carotene in plant leaves. β-CC elicits a retrograde signal, modulating 1O2-responsive genes and enhancing tolerance to photooxidative stress. Here, we show that β-CC is converted into water-soluble β-cyclocitric ac...
