General description
Salicylic acid (SA) is a phenolic compound produced in plants.
Application
Salicylic acid has been used:
- to study its effects on glandular trichomes in Artemisia annua
- to study its effects on DNA methylation in Taraxacum alatum andTaraxacum hemicyclum
- to study its effects on parasite epidemics in Lolium arundinaceum
Biochem/physiol Actions
Salicylic acid (SA) plays a role in endogenous signaling for plant disease resistance. SA is also involved in mediating thermogenesis and symptom development.

Glandular trichomes (GT) of Artemisia annua produce valuable compounds for pharmaceutical and industrial uses, most notably the anti-malarial artemisinin. Our aim was to find out whether the density, number and size of GT can be manipulated to advantage by environmental

Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to regulate various aspects of growth and development; it also serves as a critical signal for activating disease resistance in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. This review surveys the mechanisms involved in the

DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms underlying epigenetic modifications. DNA methylations can be environmentally induced and such induced modifications can at times be transmitted to successive generations. However, it remains speculative how common such environmentally induced transgenerational DNA methylation
