A new source to produce a significant quantity of a naturally occurring polyphenol, piceatannol, was investigated in this study. Both resveratrol and piceatannol are recognized as important ingredients in functional foods due to their beneficial health effects. However, unlike resveratrol, the
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) produces stilbenoids upon exposure to abiotic and biotic stresses. Among these compounds, the prenylated stilbenoids arachidin-1 and arachidin-3 have shown diverse biological activities with potential applications in human health. These compounds exhibit higher or novel
Piceatannol, compared with the renowned resveratrol, is a better anticancer agent and a superior agent with other biological activities. However, as there are only few plants reported to contain minute quantity of piceatannol, the scarcity of sources greatly impedes the piceatannol-related
In this study, the effects of white LED light and UV-C radiation (with the same intensity) on stilbenes biosynthesis and phytochemicals accumulation of peanut sprouts were investigated. Results showed that white light radiation promoted the growth of peanut sprouts while UV-C radiation had the
Prenylated stilbenoids synthesized in some legumes exhibit plant pathogen defense properties and pharmacological activities with potential benefits to human health. Despite their importance, the biosynthetic pathways of these compounds remain to be elucidated. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) hairy root
BACKGROUND
Phenylpropanoids are the precursors to a range of important plant metabolites such as the cell wall constituent lignin and the secondary metabolites belonging to the flavonoid/stilbene class of compounds. The latter class of plant natural products has been shown to function in a wide
