Foliar application of methyl jasmonate and methyl jasmonate supported on nanoparticles: Incidence on grape phenolic composition over two seasons

Tools to address the mismatch between technological and phenolic maturity of grapes are needed. Application of elicitors could be an effective alternative. This work compares the effect of the application of methyl jasmonate (MeJ) in conventional form and, as a novelty, in the form of MeJ-doped nanoparticles (ACP-MeJ) on the phenolic composition of Tempranillo grapes. Results showed that, regardless of season, both treatments increased the grape total phenols content. In 2019, most of the anthocyanins, and to a lesser extent the flavanols, increased with the application of MeJ, and several hydroxycinnamic acids increased in the grapes treated with ACP-MeJ, with dose 10 times lower than those of the MeJ conventional. In 2020, anthocyanins were not affected by the treatments, but total flavanols, flavonols, hydroxybenzoic acid, and stilbenes increased after ACP-MeJ application. Thus, foliar application of ACP-MeJ could serve to increase grape phenolic composition, reducing maturity decoupling and the environmental impact.
