“…In Kalanchoe blossfeldiana plants grown under conditions of long day length, leaves contain high levels of soluble phenolics, mostly tannins. When transferred to short‐day conditions, however, the ability to accumulate phenolics, and also the levels of PAL, decline rapidly 195. As well as the photoperiod, light intensity can also affect phenolic production.…”

There is growing recognition that many phenolic secondary metabolites present in foodstuffs may possibly exert beneficial effects on human health. This may to some degree be mediated via antioxidant actions, but a range of more specific pharmacological effects have also been proposed. Given this background, there may be favourable consequences for the general health of Western populations as a result of optimising the phenolic content of the diet. This paper reviews what is known of the function of phenolics both in the plant and in man. It also describes current understanding of the biosynthesis of phenolics in plants, with emphasis on where potential controlling steps may exist. Finally, advances in identification and isolation of the genes coding for phenolic biosynthetic enzymes or regulatory proteins are also summarised. Taken together, this information provides a basis for attempts to modify and optimise the phenolic content of food crops, using either conventional plant breeding along with manipulation of agronomic practices, or else the more targeted approaches of modern molecular biology. © 2000 Society of Chemical Industry

Visible light modulates several aspects of phenolic metabolism, with higher phenolic levels being seen in brightly illuminated plants or parts of plants.…”

“…It is well know that in long day leaves of K. blossfeldiana contain high levels of soluble phenolic compounds, in opposite to those growing in short day conditions (Balsa et al, 1979). Leaves of K. blossfeldana plants become red and accumulate anthocyanins under short day conditions (Neyland et al, 1963).…”

The influence of methyl jasmonate on anthocyanin accumulation in roots of Kalanchoe blossfediana plants was studied. Methyl jasmonate (JA-Me), at a concentration of 5.0 to 40.0 mg.l -1 , substantially increased anthocyanin accumulation in roots of intact plants, when it was applied as a solution under natural light conditions. The production of anthocyanin depended on the concentration of methyl jasmonate and the age of the plant. The stimulatory effect was higher in older plants of K. blossfeldiana than in younger ones. When leaves were removed methyl jasmonate slightly stimulated anthocyanin accumulation compared with intact plants. The obtained results indicate that leaves are necessary for the anthocyanin accumulation in the roots. In isolated roots methyl jasmonate did not affect the accumulation of anthocyanins in light conditions. Seven anthocyanins were documented in the roots of control plants and 8 anthocyanins in the roots of JA-Me treated ones. JA-Me increased the level of anthocyanins in roots of old K. blossfeldiana plants 6.8, 6.0 and 3.6-folds, after 4, 8 and 14-days of treatment, respectively.
