Induction of camalexin biosynthesis in Arabidopsis thaliana in response to elicitation by lipopolysaccharides

M.Sc. === On exposure to abiotic or biotic stresses, plants initiate a cascade of metabolic reactions, some of which lead to the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites with roles in self defense. Phytoalexins are a class of secondary metabolites synthesized de novo in response to microbial attack by...
