Phenolic secondary metabolites are only produced by plants wherein they play important
roles in both biotic and abiotic defense in seed plants as well as being potentially important …

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) fruit is a rich source of carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolics,
sugars, and organic acids. Although it is classified as a non-climacteric fruit, susceptibility to …

Foliar anthocyanins, as well as other secondary metabolites, accumulate transiently under
nutritional stress. A misconception that only nitrogen or phosphorus deficiency induces leaf …

This study examined the effects of various levels of nitrogen inputs (optimal, insufficient and
excessive) and water inputs (optimal, low drought and high drought) to tomato plants …

Accumulation of anthocyanins in grape berries is influenced by environmental factors (such
as temperature and light) and supply of nutrients, ie, fluxes of carbon and nitrogen feeding …

Nitrogen (N) availability is an essential factor for plant growth. Recycling and remobilization
of N have strong impacts on crop yield and quality under N deficiency. Autophagy is a critical …

Plant growth and defence are both fuelled by compounds synthesized from a common pool
of carbon and nitrogen, implying the existence of a competition for carbon and nitrogen …

Reduction of nitrogen application in crop production is desirable for ecological and health-
related reasons. Interestingly, nitrogen deficiency can lead to enhanced concentrations of …

This study evaluates the effect of a chemical fertilizer (ammonium nitrate), a compost
(vermicompost from cattle manure) and two biochars (from vine prunings and wood chips …

Ternary complexes consisting of a R2R3-MYB, a bHLH and a WD40 protein (MBW
complexes) regulate trichome formation and anthocyanin synthesis in plants. Small R3 …
