The Effect of Exogenously Applied Dicarboxylic Acids (Photon) on the Maize (Zea mays) Metabolite Profile.

ABSTRACT: Maize is an important crop worldwide with approximately 1200 million tons consumed and a market size worth $143 billion. Environmental stress influence production of crops and mitigating these ensures optimum production. Dicarboxylic acids are known as emulsifying agents that mitigate various stresses in plants. Previous reports have shown that mixtures of dicarboxylic acids like azelaic and sebacic acid are equally important for plants and have improved plant resistance to stress by directly or indirectly affecting metabolic components. In this study, maize plants in their six-leaf (V6) growth stage were sprayed with a mixture of dicarboxylic acids (photon) to investigate the effect of priming on the metabolic profile of maize. A nontargeted ¹H-NMR-based metabolic approach was
