Abstract

Pseudomonas chlororaphis O6 exhibits induced systemic resistance (ISR) against P. syringae pv. tabaci in tobacco. To identify one of the ISR metabolites, O6 cultures were extracted with organic solvents, and the organic extracts were subjected to column chromatography followed by spectroscopy analyses. The ISR bioassay-guided fractionation was carried out for isolation of the metabolite. High-resolution mass spectrometric analysis of the metabolite found $C_{9}H_{9}O_{3}N$ with an exact mass of 179.0582. LC/MS analysis in positive mode showed an $(M+H)^{+}$ peak at m/z 180. Nuclear magnetic resonance ($^{1}H,\;^{13}C$) analyses identified all protons and carbons of the metabolite. Based on the spectroscopy data, the metabolite was identified as 4-(aminocarbonyl) phenylacetate (4-ACPA). 4-ACPA applied at 68.0 mM exhibited ISR activity at a level similar to 1.0 mM salicylic acid. This is the first report to identify an ISR metabolite produced by P. chlororaphis O6 against the wildfire pathogen P. syringae pv. tabaci in tobacco.
