performed using cotyledonary node explants (CNs), which release phenolics upon excision
that are detrimental to the viability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens and result in low
transformation frequency. Twelve low molecular weight phenolic compounds and salicylic
acid were identified in the exudates released upon excision during the preparation of
cotyledonary nodes by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) …
