We investigated the effect of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) application on the
transcriptome as well as the phenolic profiles in the skins of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet …

Hybrid (Vitis vinifera× Vitis labrusca) table grape cultivars grown in the subtropics often fail to
accumulate sufficient anthocyanins to achieve good uniform berry color. Growers of V …

Phenolic compounds are plant secondary metabolites with strong antioxidant potential. They
are involved in stress tolerance, plant defense mechanism, and protection against …

The control of ripening of the non-climacteric grapevine fruit is still a matter of debate, but
several lines of evidence point to an important role for the hormone abscisic acid (ABA). The …

Background Auxins act as repressors of ripening inception in grape (véraison), while
ethylene and abscisic acid (ABA) play a positive role as inducers of the syndrome. Despite …

Abstract Hybrid grape Isabel (Vitis vinifera× Vitis labrusca) is the main cultivar used to
produce grape juice in Brazil. However Isabel grape is deficient in anthocyanins. Application …

In recent years, it has been demonstrated that the application of elicitors such as methyl-
jasmonate (MeJ) and benzothiadiazole (BTH) to wine grapes can increase their phenolic …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant growth regulator with roles in senescence, fruit ripening and
environmental stress responses. ABA and pyrabactin (a non-photosensitive ABA agonist) …

In the Niagara Peninsula, cool years delay veraison, thus shortening the growing season
and adversely affecting grape maturity. Exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) could potentially …

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of (S)-cis-abscisic acid (S-ABA)
application at different ripening stages, in increasing phenolic compounds and color of berry …
