Common NameAcetosyringone
DescriptionAcetosyringone is a phenolic compound belonging to the class of aromatic compounds. Its chemical structure features a methoxy group and a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and role in various biochemical pathways. In the context of plant-microbe interactions, acetosyringone is known to facilitate the virulence of Agrobacterium tumefaciens by inducing the expression of genes necessary for plant transformation. Studies have shown that acetosyringone enhances chemotaxis toward various phenolic compounds, including vanillin and guaiacol (PMID:41039684 ). It is also utilized in optimizing transformation protocols, where parameters such as bacterial suspension density and acetosyringone concentration are adjusted to maximize hairy root induction efficiency (PMID:40941827 ). Additionally, it has been identified as a significant factor in the expression of differentially expressed genes during virulence induction (PMID:40844242 ), and its concentration plays a critical role in improving transformation efficiency and GUS expression in various experimental setups (PMID:40531435 ). Overall, acetosyringone serves as a crucial signaling molecule in plant genetic engineering and microbial pathogenesis.
