Unveiling plant defense arsenal: metabolic strategies in Brassica oleracea during black rot disease.

ABSTRACT: Alterations in plant metabolism play a key role in the complex plant-pathogen interactions. However, there is still a lack of knowledge about the connection between changes in primary and specialized metabolism and the plant defense against diseases that impact crops. Thus, we aim to study the metabolic reprograming in Brassica oleracea plants upon infection by Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc). To accomplish this, we utilized a combination of untargeted and targeted metabolomics, through UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS and ¹H-NMR, in two crop lines differing in resistance that were evaluated at two- and four-week intervals following inoculation (T1 and T2, respectively). Besides, to depict the physiological status of the plant during infection, enz
