Abstract

Salicylic acid (SA) and methyl salicylate (MeSA) are synthesized in many plants and are crucial components that establish their disease responses. The metabolism of airborne MeSA to SA has been previously reported. In this report, it was found that SA glucose ester (SAGE), ether (SAG), and salicyloyl-L-aspartic acid (SA-Asp) are metabolites of airborne MeSA. Furthermore, it was found that airborne MeSA was able to increase the endogenous amount of rosmarinic acid in Perilla frutescens, which is known as one of the functional components that contributes to the maintenance of human health.

Keywords: Arabidopsis thaliana; Perilla frutescens; Airborne methyl salicylate; salicylic acid; volatile organic compounds.
