Phenylpropanoids can function as preformed and inducible antimicrobial compounds, as well as signal molecules, in plant-microbe interactions. Since we last reviewed the field 8 years ago, there has been a huge increase in our understanding of the genes of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and their regulation, brought about largely by advances in genome technology, from whole-genome sequencing to massively parallel gene expression profiling. Here, we present an overview of the biosynthesis and roles of phenylpropanoids in plant defence, together with an analysis of confirmed and predicted phenylpropanoid pathway genes in the sequenced genomes of 11 plant species. Examples are provided of phylogenetic and expression clustering analyses, and the large body of underlying genomic data is provided through a website accessible from the article.
苯丙烷类化合物在植物-微生物互作中可以作为预先形成的和诱导型的抗菌化合物，以及信号分子。自我们 8 年前回顾该领域以来，由于基因组技术的进步，包括全基因组测序到大规模平行基因表达谱分析，我们对苯丙烷生物合成及其调控的基因的理解有了巨大的提高。在这里，我们概述了苯丙烷类化合物在植物防御中的生物合成和作用，并分析了已测序的 11 种植物基因组中的苯丙烷途径基因。提供了系统发育和表达聚类分析的实例，并通过文章中的一个可访问的网站提供了大量潜在的基因组数据。
