Physiological Role and Molecular Aspects of Grapevine Stilbenic Compounds

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology & Biotechnology of the Grapevine

Abstract

Stilbenes are natural compounds occurring in a number of plant families, such as Pinaceae, Myrtaceae, Fagaceae, Liliaceae, Myraceae, Papilionaceae and Vitaceae. Within this last family, they are synthesized in several species, including V. vinifera L., which is the most important species grown worldwide for table grapes, raisins and wine production. Stilbenes are low molecular weight phenolics acting like antifungal compounds, enabling the plant to overcome pathogen attack. Grapevine stilbenes include many compounds such as trans- and cis-resveratrol, their glycosides (piceid or polydatin), viniferins, pterostilbene, astringin, piceatannol (astringinin), and other resveratrol trimers and tetramers. These substances are present in soft tissues, as induced compounds (phytoalexins), and in woody tissues, as constitutive ones.
