“…A vast range of abiotic stress treatments lead to stilbene biosynthesis, including mechanical damage (Chiron et al, 2000;Pezet et al, 2003), exposure to UV-C light (Bais et al, 2000), treatment with chemicals, such as aluminum ions, cyclodextrins, and ozone (Rosemann et al, 1991;Adrian et al, 1996;Zamboni et al, 2009), and the application of plant hormones like ethylene and jasmonates (Belhadj et al, 2008a(Belhadj et al, , 2008bD'Onofrio et al, 2009). In terms of biotic stresses, the synthesis of stilbenes is particularly well documented in grapevine, where it has been shown to be induced upon infection with various pathogens, including Plasmopara viticola (Langcake and Pryce, 1976), Erisyphe necator (Fung et al, 2008;Schnee et al, 2008), and Botrytis cinerea .…”
