Intact living plants or plant parts are contacted with water to extract from the plant or plant part exuded chemical compounds, with the extracted chemical compounds subsequently being recovered from the water. The plant is treated with an elicitor or inducer to initiate or increase production of a chemical compound. The roots may be harvested for recovery of the chemical compounds. Valuable substances exuded from or onto a plant surface, such as a plant cuticle or the root of a plant, can be identified as biologically active. Libraries of substances exuded or secreted from various plant species can be elicited or induced to produce one or more of such substances.
将完整的活体植物或植物部分与
水接触,以提取植物或植物部分渗出的化合物,随后从
水中回收提取的化合物。用激发剂或诱导剂处理植物,以启动或增加化合物的生产。可收获根部以回收化合物。从植物表面或在植物表面(如植物角质层或植物根部)渗出的有价值物质可被鉴定为具有
生物活性。可以激发或诱导各种植物物种渗出或分泌的物质库产生一种或多种此类物质。
