Abiotic environmental stresses can alter plant metabolism, leading to inhibition or promotion
of secondary metabolites. Although the crucial roles of these compounds in plant …

Covering: 2000 up to late 2017 This review is focussed upon the acyl-quinic acids, the most
studied group within the ca. 400 chlorogenic acids so far reported. The acyl-quinic acids, the …

Plant responses to different stresses are highly complex and involve changes at the
transcriptome, cellular, and physiological levels. Recent evidence shows that plants respond …

Various abiotic stresses lead to the overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in
plants which are highly reactive and toxic and cause damage to proteins, lipids …

Coffee is a valuable beverage crop due to its characteristic flavor, aroma, and the stimulating
effects of caffeine. We generated a high-quality draft genome of the species Coffea …

Phenolics are aromatic benzene ring compounds with one or more hydroxyl groups
produced by plants mainly for protection against stress. The functions of phenolic …

Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a minor fraction of the solar spectrum reaching the ground
surface. In this assessment we summarize the results of previous work on the effects of the …

Epidemiological studies have revealed an inverse association between the consumption of
fruit, vegetables, and herbs and the risk of both cancer and cardiovascular disease. This …

Rosmarinic acid and chlorogenic acid are caffeic acid esters widely found in the plant
kingdom and presumably accumulated as defense compounds. In a survey, more than 240 …

Tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum, cv. Suzanne) were subjected to complete nutrient
