Plants need to counter continuous threats posed by the environment, such as pathogen
attacks (fungi, viruses, insects, nematodes) and harsh physical conditions (drought, salinity …

Plant secondary metabolites are unique sources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, flavors,
and industrially important biochemicals. Accumulation of such metabolites often occurs in …

This paper aims at analysing the synthesis of flavonoids, their import and export in plant cell
compartments, as well as their involvement in the response to stress, with particular …

Elicitation is a good strategy to induce physiological changes and stimulate defense or
stress-induced responses in plants. The elicitor treatments trigger the synthesis of …

Anthocyanins, synthesized via the flavonoid pathway, are a class of crucial phenolic
compounds which are fundamentally responsible for the red color of grapes and wines. As …

Anthocyanins, the color compounds of plants, are known for their wide applications in food,
nutraceuticals and cosmetic industry. The biosynthetic pathway of anthocyanins is well …

This paper proposes a concept based on applying postharvest abiotic stresses to enhance

Plant growth and development are controlled, in part, by endogenous growth substances
which are affected by biotic and abiotic signals and events. A particular class of growth …

The ligandin activity of specific glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) is necessary for the
transport of anthocyanins from the cytosol to the plant vacuole. Five GSTs were purified from …
