Broccoli is a source of bioactive compounds that provide an important nutritional value. The content of these compounds can vary depending on agronomic and environmental conditions, as well as on elicitation. In this study, three crop trials were carried out to evaluate the effects of the cultivation season, the application of different dosages of methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) on the overall quality and on the total content of bioactive compounds of ‘Parthenon’ broccoli cultivated under the field conditions of southeastern Spain. Color parameters, chlorophyll content, total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids and antioxidant activity were measured to evaluate the overall quality. Moreover, individual carotenoids, phenolic compounds and glucosinolates were evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection (HPLC-DAD) and high performance liquid chromatography equipped with diode array detector coupled to mass spectrometer using electro spray ionization (HPLC-DAD-ESI/MSn). The content of total carotenoids, phenolic compounds and glucosinolates were higher in autumn compared with spring, showing increases of 2.8-fold, 2-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively. Moreover, a double application of MeJA increased the contents of total carotenoids, phenolic compounds and glucosinolates by 22%, 32% and 39%, respectively, relative to the untreated samples. Considering our results, the controlled and timely application of 250 µM MeJA to the aerial parts of the plants four days before harvest, on two consecutive days, seems to be a valid agronomic strategy to improve the health-promoting capacity of Parthenon broccoli, without compromising its overall quality.

The effect of methyl jasmonate (MJ) vapors on content of phenolic compounds: free phenolic acids, total quercetin, and total phenolics in etiolated buckwheat seedlings were studied. The data presented show that low concentration of MJ (10<sup>-8</sup> M) had no influence on <em>trans</em>-cinnamic acid (CA), but stimulated the accumulation of chlorogenic acid in hypocotyls and cotyledons of buckwheat seedlings. A moderate dose of MJ (10<sup>-6</sup> M) did not change the level of chlorogenic acid in the hypocotyls and cotyledons, but CA synthesis was promoted in cotyledons, whereas in hypocotyls no significant effect was found. Highest concentration of MJ (10<sup>-4</sup> M) caused small decline of CA in hypocotyls, but large stimulation of the acid production in cotyledons was noted. MJ had stimulatory effect on caffeic acid forming, but inhibited synthesis of vanillic acid in hypocotyls and cotyledons. Lowest concentration of MJ (10<sup>-8</sup> M) elicited accumulation of quercetin glycosides in both studied tissues of buckwheat seedlings, however at higher doses (10<sup>-8</sup> and 10<sup>-4</sup> M) did not affect the flavonol level. The obtained results suggest that nonequivalent influence of methyl jasmonate on the phenolics composition can be a result of various mechanisms of MJ uptake, transforming and/or its translocation in buckwheat hypocotyls and cotyledons. Decline of anthocyanins level in buckwheat hypocotyls caused by MJ cannot be explained by enhanced accumulation of quercetin glycosides or free phenolic acids, but probably by synthesis of other unknown phenolic compounds.

The objective of this study is to show the real impact of methyl jasmonate and ethephon in combination on the production of phenolic compounds in cultivar R405-2000 of the cotton plant Gossypium hirsutum. As well, cotton plants were treated in the field by methyl jasmonate (MeJA), ethephon (ETH) and the association of methyl jasmonate and ethephon (MeJA + ETH). The effect of these treatments was appreciated thanks to a qualitative analysis of total phenols by High Performance Liquid Chromatography. The results showed that ethephon, the metabolic precursor of ethylene, has properties identical to those of MeJA. However, the treatment of cotton leaves with ethephon induces less phenolic compounds than MeJA. On the other hand, the co-treatment of the leaves with MeJA and ethephon leads to an induction of phenolic compounds, which accumulate in greater quantities in the plant the phenols synthesized are more important with an activation of the biosynthetic pathway of stilbenoids because trans-resveratrol and transpiceide, two compounds belonging to the group of stilbenoids were synthesized de novo by the joint application of MeJA and ethephon on cotton leaves when they could not be synthesized when these two elicitors are applied alone.

<p><strong>Aims: </strong>Phenolic compounds, include anthocyanins, flavonols and tannins, are considered very important from a health and technological point of view. The concentration of these compounds in grapes depends on many factors, but  the use of elicitors as a new strategy can be a good option to improve the phenolic content of grapes and consequently in wines.</p><p><strong>Methods and results:</strong> Berries of three grape varieties (Monastrell, Merlot and Syrah) were sprayed with two elicitors, BTH (benzothiadiazole) and MeJ (methyl jasmonate), during preharvest, and the phenolic characteristics (anthocyanins, flavonols and tannins) were studied in the grapes at harvest and in the corresponding wines at the end of alcoholic fermentation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Results were different for grapes and wines in function of variety and the elicitor used.</p><strong>Significance and impact of the study: </strong>These results can be useful to enhance the phenolic composition in grapes and wines and to improve their quality, although it must pay attention the variety and the elicitor used
