Used in plant defense mechanisms, N-Feruloyltyramine acts as a phytoalexin, helping protect against fungal and bacterial infections. It accumulates at infection sites in response to pathogen attack, reinforcing cell walls and exhibiting antimicrobial properties. Found in several edible plants, it also contributes to oxidative stress resistance, making it relevant in agricultural research for developing disease-resistant crops. Additionally, it is studied for potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in biomedical contexts.
