TOPICS
ABSTRACT
Professor Philippe Jeandet was one of the world’s leading biologists and plant biochemists, best known for his research on the chemical structure of natural products and their bioactivity, particularly that of stilbenoids. His scientific interests primarily focused on resveratrol (trans-3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), a stilbene with a wide range of biological activities. Additionally, his work highlighted the potential of combining pharmacological treatments with the use of natural products of plant origin, which have made significant contributions to the treatment of various diseases. He leaves behind a legacy of groundbreaking research and a lasting influence in the field. He was also involved in research on sugar signaling during plant responses to abiotic and biotic stress factors, as well as the role of signaling molecules in fruit development. His scientific achievements demonstrate that he was, first and foremost, a dedicated scientist – but also a honourable colleague who understood and respected the work of others.
