Melatonin&rsquo:s role in regulating the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds, particularly stilbenes, remains unknown in grape seeds. In this study, widely targeted metabolomics analysis revealed that 82 phenolic compounds were differentially accumulated in grape seeds from the berries treated with melatonin. The accumulation of resveratrol and its 11 derivatives was largely increased in melatonin-treated berry seeds. Additionally, melatonin treatment of preveraison grape berries increased the resveratrol content in seeds during berry ripening. The results of RNA-Seq showed that a total of 399 genes were differentially expressed, which were mainly involved in the plant hormone signal transduction, metabolic, and biosynthesis of secondary metabolites pathways, in melatonin-treated berry seeds compared to control seeds. Additionally, five PALs, four 4CLs, one C4H, and four STSs were elucidated to be induced by melatonin in seeds at different time points after treatment. Therefore, melatonin promotes resveratrol accumulation and its derivatives, probably by upregulating the genes in the phenylpropanoid pathway, which provides precursors for resveratrol biosynthesis, and the STS genes in grape seeds.
