Methyl salicylate was attractive to psyllids, while methyl anthranilate did not affect their behavior.

Citrus honeys are known to contain methyl anthranilate, a compound which other honeys virtually lack.

As flowers bloomed, methyl anthranilate increased while 2-hexenal and p-cymene decreased.

Contrary, the metabolites that decreased the most under heat stress (drummondol, anthranilate) showed positive correlation with the traits.

Finally, we investigated why mutants defective in anthranilate degradation have an impaired ability to form biofilms.

Among esters, particularly relevant was the enhanced accumulation of methyl anthranilate, responsible for the intensive sweetish impression of wild strawberries.
