The phrase "accumulation of phytochemicals" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing the gathering or concentration of plant-derived chemical compounds that may have health benefits or other effects.
Example: "The accumulation of phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables is believed to contribute to their health-promoting properties."
Alternatives: "build-up of phytochemicals" or "concentration of phytochemicals".
Accumulation of phytochemical compounds in plants is often induced by environmental factors.
To some extent, these results reflected that light conditions influenced both leaf growth and accumulation of phytochemical compounds in C. paliurus.
This indicated that both environmental factors and genotype have great contribution to the accumulation of phytochemical compounds, as reported in other plants (Adom et al. 2003; André et al. 2009; Schmidt et al. 2010).
By determining the baseline accumulations of phytochemicals in this manner, varieties can then be tested in a field environment to ascertain any differences that could affect commercial production.
It is assumed that the accumulation of these phytochemicals in A. paniculata (in the role of the secondary metabolites) enhances the capacity of the herb for salt tolerance.
The present study aimed to investigate the potential of salt stress to enhance the accumulation of the anticancer phytochemicals in Andrographis paniculata accessions.
In conclusion, while transcriptomic analysis is not a substitute for detailed gene and pathway studies, it does provide a broad overview of the important metabolic processes from which to efficiently build hypotheses that can guide future detailed studies on improving our understanding of L-ascorbic acid metabolism and the accumulation of other bioactive phytochemicals in this plant species.
Coordinated gene expression could guide the metabolic pathway for accumulation of the sorghum-specific phytochemicals 3-deoxyanthocyanidin and dhurrin.
The coordinated gene expression upon pathogen infection suggests the accumulation of the sorghum-specific phytochemicals 3-deoxyanthocyanidin. Particular genes in tandemly duplicated putative paralogs were highly upregulated.
