Summary: Elicitation treatments of grape cell cultures with methyl jasmonate, UV-C irradiation, and sucrose induce mild production of stilbenes and flavonoids due to limited substrate availability. However, these treatments cause a synergistic boost of stilbenes production when applied to two phenylalanine-enriched transgenic grape cell lines.

Summary: Stilbenes are polyphenolic allelochemicals synthesized by plants for defense, and they have been used in medicine for their antioxidant, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties. They modulate inflammatory pathways and reduce the release of cytokines, thereby maintaining homeostasis.

Summary: This study compared the effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJ) and MeJ-doped nanoparticles (ACP-MeJ) on the phenolic composition of Tempranillo grapes. The results showed that both treatments increased the total phenols content of the grapes, but the specific effects on different phenolic compounds varied. The different treatments also had different effects in different years.

Summary: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are important for communication among plants and other organisms. This study identified 25 VOCs emitted by the grapevine cv. Isabella and revealed differences in volatile profiles between diurnal and nocturnal treatments. The presence of previously unreported compounds and their role in plant defense highlight the importance of this research in understanding pathogen tolerance mechanisms and exploring innovative cropping systems.

Summary: The influence of methyl jasmonate (MJ) preharvest treatment on polyphenols and antioxidant systems in Thompson Seedless table grape was investigated. High concentrations of MJ treatment increased the antioxidant activity and enzyme activity, and also influenced the levels of certain polyphenolic compounds in the grape.

Summary: The choice of rootstock and spacing greatly influence the productivity and quality characteristics of the Sangiovese vineyard. The 101-14 Mgt rootstock showed early sprouting and longer maturation cycle, while IAC 572 provided greater vigor to the canopy but decreased productivity. The VR 043-43 rootstock had the highest total acidity. Overall, IAC 572, Paulsen 1103, and VR 043-43 rootstocks delayed sprouting, closer plant spacing increased vineyard productivity, 101-14 Mgt, Harmony, and Paulsen 1103 rootstocks had higher soluble solids content, and 101-14 Mgt and Harmony rootstocks increased anthocyanin content.

Summary: In this study, adventitious root cultures of three Linum species were developed to produce aryltetralin lignans, with L. dolomiticum showing the highest productivity for various compounds such as Podophyllotoxin. Elicitors methyl jasmonate and coronatine had different effects on the production of specific lignans, indicating potential applications in antiviral and antineoplastic research.

Summary: The study focuses on enhancing the production of stilbenes, specifically the resveratrol dehydrodimer viniferin, by overexpressing stilbene synthase (STS) and providing ample phenylalanine (Phe). Results show that this strategy significantly increases the accumulation of resveratrol and viniferin in plant cell cultures.

Summary: Methyl jasmonate (MeJ) is an elicitor that improves grape quality when applied in the vineyard. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MeJ foliar treatments on the composition of Tempranillo Blanco grapes. The results showed that MeJ treatment increased the content of grape volatile compounds, phenolic compounds, and nitrogen compounds. The improvement was more significant when MeJ was applied post-veraison.

Summary: The study explores the analysis of food and beverage aromas using GC-FID/MS, focusing on the role of VOCs in grape berries in wine quality determination. It reveals a correlation between VOC content and sensory attributes in Cannonau wine, with 2-methyl-1-butanol and 2-phenylethanol playing a significant role in increasing wine sensory complexity.

Summary: Research on grapevine varieties has shown that V. rupestris exhibits a higher enrichment of genes involved in defense responses compared to V. vinifera. Metabolomic analysis revealed differences in the levels of certain amino acids and metabolites between the two species. These findings suggest the presence of distinct defense mechanisms that could be beneficial for sustainable viticulture through breeding programs.

Summary: Stilbenes, particularly trans-resveratrol, are important polyphenolic secondary metabolites with health properties in plants. Environmental factors play crucial roles in regulating stilbene biosynthesis. Understanding the biosynthetic pathway of stilbenes and their environmental regulation can help increase the accumulation of these valuable compounds.

Summary: Xanthones are valuable secondary metabolites produced by plants with diverse structures and biological activities. This review summarizes the current knowledge of xanthone biosynthesis in plants, including the precursors, enzymes involved, and their cellular and organ localization. The biosynthetic pathway in plants involves the shikimate and acetate pathways, leading to the central intermediate 2,3',4,6-tetrahydroxybenzophenone. Unlike plants, xanthones in fungi and lichens are entirely derived from polyketide. Further studies are needed to investigate the synthesis mechanisms in order to exploit xanthones for practical applications.
