From stress perception to metabolite disposition: dynamic regulation of stilbene biosynthesis in plants
Abstract Stilbenes are inducible plant specialized metabolites, best exemplified by resveratrol, a phytoalexin that links environmental perception, defense responses, and phenylpropanoid resource allocation. Stilbene accumulation may be controlled at three mechanistically distinct levels: signaling cascades that connect environmental and hormonal cues to kinase-dependent activation…
