Exogenous nitric oxide induces disease resistance against <i>Monilinia fructicola</i> through activating the phenylpropanoid pathway in peach fruit

Abstract

These results suggest that NO treatment could activate the phenylpropanoid pathway to enhance the activity of related enzymes and the contents of phenylpropanoid metabolites in peach to improve disease resistance and prevent pathogenic invasion. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
