Temperature, water, solar radiation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration are the main
abiotic factors that are changing in the course of global warming. These abiotic factors …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a non-climacteric fruit species used as table fruit, dried raisins,
and for vinification (wines) and distillation (liquors). In recent years, our knowledge of the …

Cytochromes P450 play important roles in biosynthesis of flavonoids and their coloured
class of compounds, anthocyanins, both of which are major floral pigments. The number of …

Background Plant stilbenes are a small group of phenylpropanoids, which have been
detected in at least 72 unrelated plant species and accumulate in response to biotic and …

Anthocyanin levels decline in some red grape berry varieties ripened under high-
temperature conditions, but the underlying mechanism is not yet clear. Here we studied the …

Anthocyanins are a group of secondary metabolites that colour fruit and flowers orange, red,
purple or blue depending on a number of factors, such as the basic structure, co …

Anthocyanins are flavonoid compounds responsible for red/purple colors in the leaves, fruit,
and flowers of many plant species. They are produced through a multistep pathway that is …

Background The selective removal of grapevine leaves around berry clusters can improve
the quality of ripening fruits by influencing parameters such as the berry sugar and …

Exposure to solar radiation is a determining factor of grape composition. Flavonol synthesis
is upregulated by solar radiation leaving a fingerprint on flavonol profile. This study aimed to …

Grapevine cv. Tempranillo fruit-bearing cuttings were exposed to supplemental ultraviolet-B
(UV-B) radiation under controlled conditions, in order to study its effect on grape traits …
