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 …

Grape is qualitatively and quantitatively very rich in polyphenols. In particular, anthocyanins,
flavonols and stilbene derivatives play very important roles in plant metabolism, thanks to …

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 …

Plants produce a host of secondary metabolites with a wide range of biological activities,
including potential toxicity to eukaryotic cells. Plants generally manage these compounds by …

In grapevine (Vitis vinifera), anthocyanins are responsible for most of the red, blue, and
purple pigmentation found in the skin of berries. In cells, anthocyanins are synthesized in the …

Flavonoids are a biochemically diverse group of specialized metabolites in plants that are
derived from phenylalanine. While the biosynthesis of the flavonoid aglycone is highly …

Proanthocyanidins (PAs), also known as condensed tannins, are a group of polyphenolic
secondary metabolites synthesized in plants as oligomers or polymers of flavan-3-ol units …

Fruits and vegetables are rich in flavonoids, and ample epidemiological data show that diets
rich in fruits and vegetables confer protection against cardiovascular, neurodegenerative …

The colour of the red wine is essentially due to the release of anthocyanins from the red skin
of grape berries during the process of wine making. Anthocyanins are synthesized during …

Flavonoids are a group of secondary metabolites widely distributed in plants that represent a
huge portion of the soluble phenolics present in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). These …
