Metabolic responses of Thellungiella halophila/salsuginea to biotic and abiotic stresses: Metabolite profiles and quantitative analyses

Analyses of non-polar and polar metabolites from Thellungiella salsuginea subjected to various forms of stress led to elucidation of the chemical structures of five constitutive metabolites and identification of a broad range of polar metabolites identical to those of other crucifers. The phytoalexins wasalexins A and B were consistently elicited by biotic and abiotic stresses.
