The Dual Role of Methyl Caffeate: Growth Inhibition of Pseudomonas syringae and Induction of Resistance to Bacterial Speck Disease in Tomato

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 5, May 2026.
Methyl caffeate exhibits dual functionality against Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. It directly disrupts bacterial membrane integrity, induces reactive oxygen species accumulation, and inhibits flagellar motility and the type III secretion system. Concurrently, it primes plant defence by activating defence‐related gene expression and enzyme activities,
