Methyl Jasmonate Applications in Viticulture: A Tool to Increase the Content of Flavonoids and Stilbenes in Grapes and Wines

Recently, the interest in methyl jasmonate (MeJ) has increased viticulture due to its effects on synthesis of phenolic secondary metabolites grapes, especially anthocyanins, flavonols, and stilbenes derivatives, naturally occurring or synthesized, berries response MeJ application grapevines. These help define sensory characteristics wines by contributing their color, flavor mouthfeel properties, derive potential beneficial health consumption. This review offers an overview importance these compounds grape wine quality, association with supplementation grapevines, also considers natural biosynthesis grapes. On other hand, this describes adaptation mechanisms induced after grapevine elicitation. In addition, report addresses over aspects Vitis immunity summarizes recently published reports about exogenous applications grapevines quality.
