TL;DR: This study demonstrates that vitamin B6 has a function in the in vivo antioxidant defense of plants and functions as a photoprotector that limits 1O2 accumulation in high light and prevents 1O1-mediated oxidative damage.

TL;DR: The influence of light quality and cytokinin content in media on growth, development, photosynthetic pigments and secondary metabolite content of Myrtus communis L. communis was evaluated in an in vitro culture.

TL;DR: The enhanced production of secondary metabolites in V. tricolor shoots may be due to improved mineral nutrition by AMF and/or a result of general plant defense reaction to fungal colonization, and the tendency towards biomass decrease in AMF treatments could be explained by the allocation of plant carbon both to the maintenance of symbionts and enhancedProduction of secondary compounds.

TL;DR: The content of two groups of compounds with biological activity (non-hallucinogenic indole compounds and free phenolic acids) were analyzed in extracts of fruiting bodies of four species of Phellinus: P. igniarius,P.

TL;DR: Both white light and blue light were equally beneficial for the total production of phenolic acids in cultures of both plants, whereas thetotal production of furanocoumarins was clearly better stimulated by blue light in R. graveolens and by darkness in the subspecies.
