Agaro-oligosaccharides enhanced the Monilinia fructicola resistance of peach fruit by regulating antioxidative and phenylpropanoid metabolism by Li, Qian, Wei, Yingying, Chen, Yi, Jiang, Shu, Ye, Jianfen, Xu, Feng, Lou, Yongjiang, Ding, Phebe, Ouaziz, Meriem, Shao, Xingfeng

“…Increased activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, 4-coumarate coenzyme A ligase, polyphenol oxidase, and peroxidase, along with elevated expression levels of their corresponding genes, were also observed in agaro-oligosaccharides-treated fruit, resulting in the accumulation of total phenols, flavonoid, and lignin. These findings demonstrated that agaro-oligosaccharides induced the disease resistance of peach fruit, which was attributed to the activation of antioxidative and phenylpropanoid metabolism. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.…”
