Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-gluconic acid
DescriptionD-gluconic acid is a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid that belongs to the class of organic acids. Its chemical structure features a six-carbon chain with multiple hydroxyl groups and a carboxylic acid group, making it a sugar acid derived from glucose. In biochemical pathways, D-gluconic acid plays a role in various metabolic processes, including its involvement in the defense mechanisms of plants. For instance, metabolome analysis and functional characterization have revealed that D-gluconic acid contributes to pine defense against Bursaphelenchus xylophilus infection (PMID:40814169 ). Additionally, treatment with exogenous D-gluconic acid has been shown to enhance the resistance of Pinus thunbergii to nematodes, demonstrating its potential role in plant immunity (PMID:40814169 ). Furthermore, D-gluconic acid has been observed to restore damage in pine cells, as evidenced by scanning electron microscopy (PMID:40814169 ). These findings highlight the compound's significance in both chemical and biological contexts, particularly in enhancing plant resilience against pathogens.
