Application

Camalexin has been used in quantification and tolerance assays in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Camalexin is a phytoalexin isolated from cruciferous plants that exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, antiproliferative and cancer chemopreventive activities.
Camalexin is a phytoalexin isolated from cruciferous plants that exhibits antibacterial, antifungal, antiproliferative and cancer chemopreventive activities. Apparently, camalexin increases the ROS levels and is more effective in aggressive prostate cancer cells that express high ROS levels. In Arabidopsis thaliana, camalexin and salicylic acid confer resistance to Phytophthora capsici.

Plant defense often depends on the synthesis and targeted delivery of antimicrobial metabolites at pathogen contact sites. The pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) transporter PENETRATION3 (PEN3)/PDR8 in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) has been implicated in resistance to a variety of fungal pathogens.
