Common NameSyringaldehyde
DescriptionSyringaldehyde is a phenylpropanoid compound known for its role as a phytoalexin in plants. Its chemical structure features a methoxy group and an aldehyde functional group attached to a benzene ring, contributing to its reactivity and biological activities. In the context of plant defense, syringaldehyde has been shown to induce immune-related gene expression in eggplant leaves and enhance resistance against pathogens, such as late blight in potatoes, when applied exogenously (PMID:41032367 ). Notably, its protective efficacy is amplified in genetically modified potato plants overexpressing SmTPS28, indicating a synergistic relationship in nonhost resistance mechanisms (PMID:41032367 ). Additionally, syringaldehyde has been utilized in the preparation of Schiff base-type oleogels, demonstrating its versatility in material science (PMID:41030385 ). It also serves as a strong ligand for various plant odorant-binding proteins, highlighting its potential role in plant-insect interactions (PMID:40915826 ). Furthermore, studies on the ozonolysis of phenolic aldehydes, including syringaldehyde, provide insights into its environmental behavior and reactivity under different conditions (PMID:40829472 ). Overall, syringaldehyde exemplifies a compound with significant implications in both plant biology and material applications.
