The contribution of flowering time and seed content to uneven ripening initiation among fruits within Vitis vinifera L. cv. Pinot noir clusters
Ripening initiation-associated hormonal changes and sugar accumulation for individual fruits differed by seed content and did not depend heavily on flowering time or duration from anthesis to c...

Open AccessAbscisic acid transcriptomic signaling varies with grapevine organ
Abscisic acid (ABA) regulates various developmental processes and stress responses over both short (i.e. hours or days) and longer (i.e. months or seasons) time frames. To elucidate the transcriptional regulat...

Open AccessTiming of ripening initiation in grape berries and its relationship to seed content and pericarp auxin levels
Individual berries in a grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cluster enter the ripening phase at different times leading to an asynchronous cluster in terms of ripening. The factors causing this variable ripening initiation...

An Analytical Method to Quantify Three Plant Hormone Families in Grape Berry Using Liquid Chromatography and Multiple Reaction Monitoring Mass Spectrometry
Hormones play an important role during the development and ripening of grape berry. Unlike the case of ethylene in climacteric fruits, several different hormones are believed to sequentially accumulate at spec...

Open AccessTranscriptomic and metabolite analyses of Cabernet Sauvignon grape berry development
Grape berry development is a dynamic process that involves a complex series of molecular genetic and biochemical changes divided into three major phases. During initial berry growth (Phase I), berry size incre...

Open AccessTissue-specific mRNA expression profiling in grape berry tissues
Berries of grape (Vitis vinifera) contain three major tissue types (skin, pulp and seed) all of which contribute to the aroma, color, and flavor characters of wine. The pericarp, which is composed of the exocarp ...

Integrating Functional Genomics With Salinity and Water Deficit Stress Responses in Wine Grape - Vitis Vinifera
Wine grape (Vitis vinifera) is the world’s most important fruit crop both in terms of crop production and economic value. For most crops, water deficit stress has negative implications for production and quality....

Fatty acid composition of pinaceae as taxonomic markers
Following our previous review on Pinus spp. seed fatty acid (FA) compositions, we recapitulate here the seed FA compositions of Larix (larch), Picea (spruce), and Pseudotsuga (Douglas fir) spp. Numerous seed FA c...

Fatty acids of the seeds from pine species of the Ponderosa-Banksiana and Halepensis sections. The peculiar taxonomic position of Pinus pinaster
The fatty acid compositions of pine seed oils were determined from 11 species of the Banksiana subsection and three species of the Ponderosa subsection. All were collected in North America (United States, Mexico,...

Chemotaxonomic differentiation of conifer families and genera based on the seed oil fatty acid compositions: multivariate analyses
The fatty acid compositions of seed oils from 34 conifer species, mainly Pinaceae and secondarily Cupressaceae, have been determined by gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters. As noted in earlier stud...

Taxonomy of Pinus species based on the seed oil fatty acid compositions
The fatty acid compositions of the seed oils from ten pine species have been established by capillary gas-liquid chromatography of the methyl esters. With regard to either normal fatty acids or Δ5-olefinic ac...

Conifer seeds: Oil content and fatty acid composition
The seed oils from twenty-five Conifer species (from four families—Pinaceae, Cupressaceae, Taxodiaceae, and Taxaceae) have been analyzed, and their fatty acid compositions were established by capillary gas-liq...
