This study aimed to investigate the effects of exogenous copper and ethylene on resveratrol biosynthesis in peanut buds. In this study, different concentrations of copper sulfate and ethephon were used to induce peanut bud roots. Resveratrol content was determined using high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The interaction effects of the two inducers were analyzed using regression and response surface methodology. Results showed that resveratrol biosynthesis increased with the increase in copper sulfate concentration. Resveratrol synthesis showed an increasing trend when the concentration of ethephon was from 5 to 7 mmol/L. The resveratrol content reached a maximum value of 7.7 μg/g when the concentration of ethephon was 7 mmol/L and then decreased with an increase in ethephon. Response surface analysis revealed that the combination of 0.1 mmol/L copper sulfate and 5 mmol/L ethephon was effective and resulted in the induction of resveratrol biosynthesis in peanut buds.
