Phenolics are aromatic benzene ring compounds with one or more hydroxyl groups produced by plants mainly for protection against stress. The functions of phenolic compounds in plant physiology and interactions with biotic and abiotic environments are difficult to overestimate. Phenolics play important roles in plant development, particularly in lignin and pigment biosynthesis. They also provide structural integrity and scaffolding support to plants. Importantly, phenolic phytoalexins, secreted by wounded or otherwise perturbed plants, repel or kill many microorganisms, and some pathogens can counteract or nullify these defences or even subvert them to their own advantage. In this review, we discuss the roles of phenolics in the interactions of plants with Agrobacterium and Rhizobium.
酚类化合物是植物产生的具有一个或多个羟基的芳香苯环化合物，主要用于抵御压力。酚类化合物在植物生理学中的功能以及与生物和非生物环境的相互作用是难以高估的。酚类化合物在植物发育中起着重要作用，特别是在木质素和色素生物合成中。它们还为植物提供结构完整性和支架支持。重要的是，植物酚类抗毒素由受伤或受到其他干扰的植物分泌，可排斥或杀死许多微生物，一些病原体可以对抗或抵消这些防御，甚至将其颠覆为自己所用。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了酚类化合物在植物与根瘤农杆菌和根瘤菌相互作用中的作用。
