The flowering of Vitis vinifera spreads over two seasons. Tendrils and inflorescences have a
common origin known as anlage or uncommitted primordia. The fate of the uncommitted …

The grapevine reproductive cycle has a number of unique features. Inflorescences develop
from lateral meristems (anlagen) in latent buds during spring and summer and enter a …

Background The MYB superfamily constitutes the most abundant group of transcription
factors described in plants. Members control processes such as epidermal cell …

Abstract Anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols, and flavonols are the three major classes of flavonoid
compounds found in grape berry tissues. Several viticultural practices increase flavonoid …

Fruit provide essential nutrients and vitamins for the human diet. Not only is the lipid-rich
fleshy mesocarp tissue of the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) fruit the main source of edible oil …

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) induce positive effects in plants, such as
increased growth or reduced stress susceptibility. The mechanisms behind PGPR/plant …

The onset of ripening involves changes in sugar metabolism, softening, and color
development. Most understanding of this process arises from work in climacteric fruits where …

Anthocyanins and tannins are two of the most abundant flavonoids found in grapevine, and
their synthesis is derived from the phenylpropanoid pathway. As described for model …

MIKCC-type MADS box genes encode transcription factors that play crucial roles in plant
growth and development. Analysis of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera) genome revealed up to …

MADS-box family genes encode transcription factors that are involved in multiple
developmental processes in plants, especially in floral organ specification, fruit …
