Exogenous phenylalanine application effects on phytochemicals, antioxidant activity, HPLC profiling, and PAL and CHS genes expression in table grapes (Vitis vinifera cv. 'Qzl Ouzum').
Article in BMC plant biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundGrape (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most important fruit products globally and has a high nutritional value with potent antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. In current years, phenylalanine application has been particularly noticed for enhancing the nutritional quality of horticultural crops. With the aim of quality improvement, the effects of foliar application of phenylalanine at 5 concentrations (0, 100, 500, 1000, and 2000 μM) on Vitis vinifera cv. 'Qzl Ouzum' berry compositions were studied. The studied parameters included antioxidant activity, phenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanin, catalase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme activity, and phenolic compounds content based on HPLC analyses (myricetin, quercetin, kaempferol, syringetin, catechin, gallic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, resveratrol).
resultsPhenylalanine at 1000 μM increased total phenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and PAL enzyme activity. In addition, HPLC analysis revealed a significant accumulation of individual phenolic compounds by phenylalanine treatment. The highest values were recorded in the treatments with 100 and 500 μM phenylalanine for most of the phenolic components. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR results showed that the expression of PAL and CHS genes was induced by phenylalanine. The highest PAL and CHS gene expression was observed at 500 μM and then at 1000 μM phenylalanine treatment.
conclusionsWith the use of phenylalanine, the activity of the PAL and CHS enzyme and PAL and CHS gene expression were significantly increased and led to a greater accumulation of phenolic compounds and antioxidant activiety. This study suggests that the use of phenylalanine as a main precursor for the synthesis of phenolic compounds, can improve the phenolic composition of grapes and could be a practical approach to advance fruit quality in the production of grape cv. 'Qzl Ouzum'.
