Stilbenes are a small family of plant secondary metabolites derived from the
phenylpropanoid pathway, and produced in a number of unrelated plant species. These …

Resveratrol is the most important stilbene phytoalexin synthesized naturally or induced in
plants, as a part of their defense mechanism. Grapes and their derivative products, including …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Main conclusion This review analyzes the advances in understanding the natural signaling
pathways and environmental factors regulating stilbene biosynthesis. We also discuss the …

Largely because of concerns regarding global climate change, there is a burgeoning
interest in the application of fundamental scientific knowledge in order to better exploit …

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of UV-B or UV-C radiation on phenolic
compounds and their transcription of biosynthetic genes in table grapes during storage. The …

Current research indicated that the resveratrol was mainly accumulated in the skin of grape
berry, however, little is yet known about the distribution of resveratrol, as well as the …

Plants have evolved mechanisms to avoid and repair UV radiation damage, and the free
radicals caused by UV tend to be involved in the induction of antioxidant defense systems. In …

Many roles have been ascribed to stilbenes, namely as antimicrobial, deterrent or repellent
compounds in plants, protecting them from attacks by fungi, bacteria, nematodes or …

Modulation of flavonoid biosynthesis in grape berries has always aroused great attention
among researchers. However, little study has been made on the shikimate pathway that …
