Canopy microclimate and berry composition: The effect of bunch exposure on the phenolic composition of Vitis vinifera L cv. Shiraz grape berries

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of light exposure on specific phenolic compounds of Shiraz vines grown in a hot climate is reported, and the interactive effects of light and temperature on berry phenolic content and concentration are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selective Induction of Mitochondrial Chaperones in Response to Loss of the Mitochondrial Genome

TL;DR: It is found that stress applied specifically to the mitochondria of mammalian cells is capable of eliciting an organelle-specific, molecular chaperone response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistance to an Herbivore Through Engineered Cyanogenic Glucoside Synthesis

TL;DR: It is documented that genetically engineered plants are able to synthesize and store large amounts of new natural products and the presence of dhurrin in the transgenic A. thaliana plants confers resistance to the flea beetle.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning and characterization of Vitis vinifera UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase, a homologue of the enzyme encoded by the maize Bronze-1 locus that may primarily serve to glucosylate anthocyanidins in vivo.

TL;DR: The cloning and optimized expression at 16 °C and the characterization of a Vitis vinifera UDP-glucose:flavonoid 3-O-glauosyltransferase, an enzyme responsible for a late step in grapevine anthocyanin biosynthesis, indicated that the principal, if not only, role of this enzyme is to glucosylate Anthocyanidins in red fruit during ripening.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and characterization of a fruit-specific, thaumatin-like protein that accumulates at very high levels in conjunction with the onset of sugar accumulation and berry softening in grapes.

TL;DR: Southern, northern, and western analyses revealed that VVTL1 is found in the berry only and is encoded by a single gene that is expressed in conjunction with the onset of sugar accumulation and softening, indicating that the presence of thaumatin-like proteins in ripening fruit might be a widespread phenomenon.
