“…For example, rice seed priming using MeJA resulted in a greater increase in total phenolic content, antioxidant activity and rice drought-responsive gene expression compared to unprimed seeds (Samota et al, 2017). Several studies have provided evidence indicating that the germination process facilitates the activation of diverse plant metabolites in kernels (Idowu et al, 2019;Núñez-Gastélum et al, 2023). Sufficient water content is essential for triggering plant phytoalexin production (Paparella et al, 2015).…”

Article InfoImportance of the work: Elicitor treatment has been widely used to improve bioactive compounds in plants. However, very few studies have reported the use of an elicitor treatment in the germination process to improve peanut quality. Objectives: To evaluate the stilbene compounds and bioactivity of peanut sprouts after seed priming using different elicitors. Materials & Methods: Peanut seeds were primed using various elicitors: chitosan (CHT), methyl jasmonate (MeJA), methyl-β-cyclodextrin (CD) or a combination of all three (CHT+MeJA+CD). Germination was carried out for 3 d. The antioxidant activity, total phenolic compound, stilbene content and the biochemical profiles in the peanut sprouts were investigated. Results: After germinating for 1-3 d, the antioxidant activities of all elicitor-treated peanut samples exhibited 1.46-2.12-fold increases compared to the untreated control. The highest contents of trans-resveratrol were produced by the peanuts treated with CHT and CHT+MeJA+CD, with 7.72 and 11.48-fold increases, respectively, compared to the untreated control. The highest contents of trans-arachidin-1 and trans-arachidin-3 were in the peanuts treated with CHT, MeJA and CHT+MeJA+CD on day 3 of germination. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profile indicated the protein pattern transformed from a high molecular weight (MW) to a low MW during germination. Main finding: Combining elicitor priming and germination approaches proved to be an effective strategy that improved the phytochemical profile of peanut sprouts for functional food applications.
