abstract = {Methyl jasmonate (MeJ), an elicitor able to trigger plant defence responses, is a natural and clean
alternative to the use of hazardous pesticides. However, the efficient application of MeJ in fields is very
limited due to its poor water solubility, thermal stability and phytotoxicity at the high dose required to
produce beneficial effects in plants. Here, a novel nanoelicitor (nano-MeJ) was prepared through the
functionalization of biocompatible calcium phosphate nanoparticles. The resulting nanocomposite
produced a significant increase of beneficial compounds (phytoalexins) in grapes and wines at low MeJ
dosage. Indeed, results from in vivo field experiments on Monastrell vineyards (Vitis vinifera L.) revealed that
grapes treated with nano-MeJ provided red wines with high content of beneficial stilbenes, similar to the
levels obtained with conventional treatments but applying 10 times higher MeJ dosage. We demonstrated
that the nanoparticles protect and retain MeJ on the surface of the leaves over long periods of time. This
protective action along with the slow release provides a prolonged supply of the resistance-inductor
elicitor through the leaves, resulting in a significant efficiency increase. Additionally, the nanocomposite
was stable for long periods of time (more than 175 days) and exhibited lower cytotoxicity compared to
MeJ, which are important features for its efficient and safe use in agriculture.},
