“…However, little is known about pathogen‐induced metabolite differences between various rice cultivars and the potential impact on resistance or susceptibility traits. Beyond Bayogenin 3‐O‐Cellobioside, we found that other previously reported defence‐related metabolites, such as abscisic acid glucoside ester (Piotrowska and Bajguz, 2011), aurantio‐obtusin‐β‐D‐glucoside (Kumar et al ., 2015), carlinoside (Das et al ., 2016; Ling and Weilin, 2016) and sakuranin (derivative of sakuranetin) (Gupta et al ., 1972; Hasegawa et al ., 2014; Kodama et al ., 1992; Narasimhachari and Seshadri, 1952), were specifically produced in resistant rice cultivars challenged with rice blast fungus. Thus, resistant rice cultivars possess a metabolomic advantage over susceptible rice cultivars both before and during infection.…”
