Primry metbolites such s sugrs, mino cids, nd TCA cycle intermedites re known to hve significnt role in plnt response to biotic stresses. Chnges in the levels of these biomolecules re considered to be n indiction of photosynthetic dysfunction nd/or osmotic redjustment. 41 Conversely, secondry metbolites re known to be ltered in response to prticulr stress conditions, such s pthogens, ntioxidnts, RS scvengers, coenzymes, nd regultory molecules. 42 In ddition to phenolic compounds, there re number of secondry metbolites tht re significntly chnged by Ag tretment, indicting either dmge results or the development of tolernce/resistnce. A significnt (p 0.05) increse in the ccumultion of phytosphingosine ws identified upon 0.4 mg Ag + nd 4 nd 40 mg AgNPs tretment (Figure S9). Peer et l. suggested tht phytosphingosine (t18:0) is positive regultor of the hypersensitive rection during the plnts pthogen defense response. 43 Nicotinmide (NIC) ws not detected in the unexposed control plnts; however, significnt increse ws observed under Ag + or AgNPs tretment (Figure S9). NIC is stress-ssocited signling compound tht cn induce defensive metbolism t the genetic level nd cn regulte secondry metbolic ccumultion. 44 Itconic cid, which is known to hve ntimicrobil properties, ws observed to significntly (p<0.01) increse up to 2-fold upon exposure to 4 nd 40 mg AgNPs. Michemucci et l. demonstrted tht reduction of intrcellulr itconic cid levels resulted in significntly reduced ntimicrobil ctivity during bcteril infections. 45 2-furoic cid (2FA) ws observed to significntly (p<0.05) increse in dose dependent mnner with both Ag + nd Ag NPs. This compound hs been reported to induce resistnce ginst the tomto wilt disese cused by Fusrium oxysporumf. sp. lycopersici 40. 2-Deoxyerythritol ws S3
60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 significntly (p<0.05) decresed in dose-dependent wy with Ag ions nd Ag NPs (Figure S9); the physiologicl role of this compound in Ag exposure is unknown. In ddition, we found tht 5,6-dimethylbenzimidzole (DMB), precursor of Vitmin B12, ws not detected in the unexposed control plnts nd the 0.04 mg Ag + tretment, but the biomolecule ws significntly incresed by the other Ag tretments. 3-cynolnine ws found to significntly (p<0.05) increse in dose dependent mnner; 40 mg AgNPs induced 6-fold increse of 3-cynolnine in exposed leves. The bet-cynolnine pthwy is involved in plnt response to vrious biotic or biotic stress; 46 it is possible tht 3-cynolnine is involved in tolernce or dpttion mechnisms ssocited with Ag induced stress. 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 S4
