This review analyzes the advances in understanding the natural signaling pathways and environmental factors regulating stilbene biosynthesis. We also discuss the studies reporting on stilbene content and repertoire in plants. Stilbenes, including the most-studied stilbene resveratrol, are a family of phenolic plant secondary metabolites that have been the subject of intensive research due to their valuable pharmaceutical effects and contribution to plant disease resistance. Understanding the natural mechanisms regulating stilbene biosynthesis in plants could be useful for both the development of new plant protection strategies and for commercial stilbene production. In this review, we focus on the environmental factors and cell signaling pathways regulating stilbene biosynthesis in plants and make a comparison with the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis. This review also analyzes the recent data on stilbene biosynthetic genes and summarizes the available studies reporting on both stilbene content and stilbene composition in different plant families.
本综述分析了理解调节芪类生物合成的天然信号通路和环境因素的进展。我们还讨论了报告植物中芪类含量和组成的研究。芪类，包括研究最多的芪类白藜芦醇，是一类酚类植物次生代谢物，由于其具有有价值的药用作用和对植物抗病性的贡献，因此一直是密集研究的主题。了解植物中调节芪类生物合成的天然机制可能对开发新的植物保护策略和商业芪类生产都有用。在本综述中，我们重点介绍了调节植物芪类生物合成的环境因素和细胞信号通路，并与类黄酮生物合成的调节进行了比较。本综述还分析了最近关于芪类生物合成基因的研究数据，并总结了报告不同植物科中芪类含量和组成的现有研究。
