Plant in vitro cultures represent an attractive and cost-effective alternative to classical
approaches to plant secondary metabolite (PSM) production (the “Plant Cell Factory” …

Higher plants undergo a variety of stresses and to combat those stresses they acclimatize
themselves by producing diverse secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites also …

Plants use an intricate defense system against pests and pathogens, including the
production of low molecular mass secondary metabolites with antimicrobial activity, which …

Stilbenes are a small family of polyphenolic secondary metabolites that can be found in
several distantly related plant species. These compounds act as phytoalexins, playing a …

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 …

Plant secondary biosynthetic pathways are exceedingly inducible by elicitors and facilitate
enhanced metabolite production using plant cell tissue and organ cultures. Elicitors can …

Covering: 1976 to 2020. Although constituting a limited chemical family, phytostilbenes
represent an emblematic group of molecules among natural compounds. Ever since their …
