Sweet pepper (<jats:italic>Capsicum annuum<\/jats:italic>), alias bell pepper, is one of the most widely cultivated vegetables and is grown in open fields worldwide. Here we assessed the effect of acute water stress, applied to a breeding line of sweet pepper at three stages of plant development: five true\u2010leaves (Stage 1), production of the third flower (Stage 2) and setting of the first fruit (Stage 3), on the production and biochemical composition of its ripe fruits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>The water stress at Stages 1 and 2 induced a delay in fruit ripening, while at Stage 3 caused a drop in production. The biochemical composition of ripe fruits was assessed by quantifying their content in vitamin C, sugars, organic acids, flavonoids as well as 190 volatile organic compounds, mainly belonging to the chemical classes of hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, esters, terpenes, aldehydes and ethers. Our results highlight that, at different stages of plant development, acute water stresses modulate differently the accumulation of bioactive compounds in fruits, which play a key role in setting the redox\u2010status and osmotic adjustment of the plant. This was also the case for volatile compounds since, within each chemical class, different compounds varied their content in ripe fruits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title><jats:p>On the whole, our results demonstrate that water stresses potentially affect the organoleptic and sensory qualities of bell pepper fruits depending on when they occur. \u00a9 2021 Society of Chemical Industry<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.11118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,25]],"date-time":"2021-01-25T13:20:12Z","timestamp":1611580812000},"page":"4724-4734","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["The influence of acute water stresses on the biochemical composition of bell pepper (<i>Capsicum annuum<\/i><scp>L<\/scp>.) berries"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"101","author":[{"given":"Dionis","family":"Borr\u00e0s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, Plant Genetics and Breeding University of Torino  Grugliasco Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8090-7312","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariola","family":"Plazas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, Plant Genetics and Breeding University of Torino  Grugliasco Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Moglia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, Plant Genetics and Breeding University of Torino  Grugliasco Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sergio","family":"Lanteri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences, Plant Genetics and Breeding University of Torino  Grugliasco Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/aob\/mcf105"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","volume-title":"FAOSTAT","author":"FAO","year":"2018"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","first-page":"216","article-title":"Growth, yield and consumer acceptance of sweet pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) as influenced by open field and greenhouse production systems","volume":"04","author":"Nkansah GO","year":"2017","journal-title":"J Hortic"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00271-008-0106-3"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.3207"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.foodchem.2018.07.213"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.9734\/AJAHR\/2018\/39824","article-title":"Drought stress effects on plant water relations, growth, fruit quality and osmotic adjustment of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) under subtropical condition","volume":"1","author":"Nahar K","year":"2018","journal-title":"Asian J Agric Hortic Res"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","first-page":"2612","article-title":"Effects of drought stress on photosynthesis and associated physiological characters of pepper","volume":"32","author":"Ou L","year":"2012","journal-title":"Shengtai Xuebao\/Acta Ecol Sin"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","first-page":"4636","article-title":"Evaluation of drought stress on the chlorophyll content of the plants: a review of the solanacea family","volume":"28","author":"Tezcan A","journal-title":"Feb\u2010Fresenius Environ Bull"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","first-page":"52","article-title":"Influence of climatic conditions on nutritional and nutraceutical profiles of organic\u2010grown sweet red\u2010peppers (Capsicum annuum L.)","volume":"16","author":"Lo Scalzo R","year":"2014","journal-title":"Prog Nutr"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/np300898z"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu11081774"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jksus.2017.04.007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sajb.2016.08.020"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jff.2014.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jsfa.10245"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-017-10975-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0308-8146(95)92655-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","first-page":"394","article-title":"Changes in volatile compounds of habanero chili pepper (Capsicum chinense Jack. cv.
