Abscisic Acid and Chitosan Modulate Polyphenol Metabolism and Berry Qualities in the Domestic White-Colored Cultivar Savvatiano by Dimitrios Evangelos Miliordos, Anastasios Alatzas, Nikolaos Kontoudakis, Angeliki Kouki, Marianne Unlubayir, Marin-Pierre Gémin, Alexandros Tako, Polydefkis Hatzopoulos, Arnaud Lanoue, Yorgos Kotseridis

“…During the last decade, several studies demonstrated the effect of biostimulants on the transcriptional and metabolic profile of grape berries, suggesting their application as a useful viticultural practice to improve grape and wine quality. Herein, we investigated the impact of two biostimulants—abscisic acid (0.04% <i>w</i>/<i>v</i> and 0.08% <i>w</i>/<i>v</i>) and chitosan (0.3% <i>w</i>/<i>v</i> and 0.6% <i>w</i>/<i>v</i>)—on the polyphenol metabolism of the Greek grapevine cultivar, Savvatiano, in order to determine the impact of biostimulants’ application in the concentration of phenolic compounds. …”
