Mono-and sesquiterpenes are volatile organic compounds which play crucial roles in
human perception of table grape and wine flavour and aroma, and as such their …

Grapevines are challenged by a range of diseases and pests, causing economic losses and
requiring often costly approaches to mitigate damage. Public interest in reducing the use of …

In this study, four hybrids from the cross between “Italia” and “Tamina” grapes were chosen
to investigate their distinct monoterpenoids patterns and candidate genes involved …

Background The biochemical makeup of grape berries at harvest is essential for wine quality
and depends on a fine transcriptional regulation occurring during berry development. In this …

The flat peach has become more and more popular worldwide for its fruit quality with
relatively low acidity, high sugar content and rich flavor. However, the draft genome …

Volatile organic compounds such as terpenes influence the quality parameters of grapevine
through their contribution to the flavour and aroma profile of berries. Biosynthesis of volatile …

Abstract Background and Aims Terpenes are volatile organic compounds that influence the
composition of many winegrape cultivars. Terpene accumulation is variable between …

Gene families involved in specialised metabolism play a key role in a myriad of
ecophysiological and biochemical functions. The Vitis vinifera sesquiterpene synthases …

Now most of the genomes of higher organisms are assembled for haploid set of
chromosomes, in which DNA fragments from paired chromosomes from different parents …
