As sessile organisms, plants are unable to avoid being subjected to environmental stresses
that negatively affect their growth and productivity. Instead, they utilize various mechanisms …

Phenolic compounds are secondary metabolites and widely distributed in higher plants.
When plants are subjected to injury stress, the rapid synthesis of more phenols is induced to …

Drought stress induces anthocyanin biosynthesis in many plant species, but the underlying
molecular mechanism remains unclear. Ethylene response factors (ERFs) play key roles in …

In this chapter, we discuss the influence of the processing methods on the content of
phenolic compounds in fruits and vegetables. The intake of fruits and vegetables based …

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 …

Phenolic compounds are plant secondary metabolites playing important roles in plant
resistance. Their chemical structure is based on at least one aromatic ring bonded to one or …

The quality of horticultural products is the result of the interaction of different factors,
including grower's crop management ability, genotype, and environment. Sub-optimal …

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tuber follows only rice and wheat in world importance as
a food crop for human consumption. Cultivated potatoes have spread from the Andes of …

It would be desirable to establish and standardize methods that can measure the total
antioxidant capacity level directly from vegetable extracts containing phenolics. Antioxidant …

The efficacy of atmospheric plasma treatment on microbial decontamination of different
kinds of food products is already known. Recently, new applications of this innovative …
