Abstract:
Resveratrol, a type of important polyphenolic secondary metabolite, plays a crucial role in plant resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. In recent years, numerous studies have emerged on its biosynthetic pathways and induction effects. However, existing reviews are mostly focused on early research and fail to cover the latest advancements. This review, based on a retrospective analysis of the effects of various inducers (including biotic factors, plant hormones and growth regulators, specific light qualities, and metal ions) on resveratrol biosynthesis, with a literature search timeframe restricted to 2010-2025 and using databases including PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus with keywords 'resveratrol biosynthesis', 'resveratrol regulatory mechanism', 'STS gene regulation', and in combination with the latest research, focuses on analyzing: (1) the regulatory patterns of STS promoters by transcription factors acting alone or in interaction; (2) the regulatory roles of calcium signaling, hormone signal transduction (such as jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, and abscisic acid), and MAPK cascade reactions in resveratrol biosynthesis. This review aims to provide a new perspective for a deeper understanding of the biosynthesis and complex regulatory mechanisms of resveratrol.
