Increase of secondary metabolites in sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) leaves by exposure to N₂O₅ with plasma technology.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to N₂O₅ generated by plasma technology activates immunity in Arabidopsis through tryptophan metabolites. However, little is known about the effects of N₂O₅ exposure on other plant species. Sweet basil synthesizes many valuable secondary metabolites in its leaves. Therefore, metabolomic analyses were performed at three different exposure levels [9.7 (Ex1), 19.4 (Ex2) and 29.1 (Ex3) μmol] to assess the effects of N₂O₅ on basil leaves. As a result, cinnamaldehyde and phenolic acids increased with increasing doses. Certain flavonoids, columbianetin, and caryophyllene oxide increased with lower Ex1 exposure, cineole and methyl eugenol increased with moderate Ex2 exposure and L-glutathione GSH also increased with higher E
