BACKGROUND Every year, the viticulture activity generates considerable amounts of underused lignocellulosic residues as grape cane, which are generally composted or burned despite their potential value as a source of bioactive compounds. Determination of their phytochemical composition and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) may be a useful way of exploiting different high‐added value applications. RESULTS Twenty‐one phenolic compounds (PC) and two carotenoids (Car) were quantified by high performance‐liquid chromatography‐diode array detection in eight grape varieties from different locations ...

Arsenic (As) in the environment is an increasing problem all over the world that limits crop yield, and therefore, remediation strategies like inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are necessary. The objective of the current study was to assess PGPR ability to reduce AsIII toxicity in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Malbec). Two-year old grape plant-sprouts grown in 10 L pots were inoculated weekly with Bacillus licheniformis, Micrococcus luteus, Pseudomonas fluorescens, a consortium of the three strains, or water (control). Plants were irrigated with water (-As) or a 50 ...
