Down-Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase in Grapevine Cell Cultures and Leaves Is Linked to Enhanced Resveratrol Biosynthesis

In grapevine, trans-Resveratrol (tR) is produced as a defence mechanism against stress or infection. tR is also considered to be important for human health, which increases its interest to the scientific community. Transcriptomic analysis in grapevine cell cultures treated with the defence response...

Down-Regulation of Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Kinase in Grapevine Cell Cultures and Leaves Is Linked to Enhanced Resveratrol Biosynthesis
description In grapevine, trans-Resveratrol (tR) is produced as a defence mechanism against stress or infection. tR is also considered to be important for human health, which increases its interest to the scientific community.
