The circadian clock in Arabidopsis exerts a critical role in timing multiple biological
processes and stress responses through the regulation of up to 80% of the transcriptome. As …

Berries of the cultivated grapevine Vitis vinifera are notably responsive to temperature,
which can influence fruit quality and hence the future compatibility of varieties with their …

Background Fruit composition at harvest is strongly dependent on the temperature during
the grapevine developmental cycle. This raises serious concerns regarding the …

Grapevine fruit development is a dynamic process that can be divided into three stages:
formation (I), lag (II), and ripening (III), in which physiological and biochemical changes …

Seedlessness is greatly prized by consumers of fresh grapes. While stenospermocarpic
seed abortion determined by the SEED DEVELOPMENT INHIBITOR (SDI) locus is the usual …

Terpenoids are vital secondary metabolites in plants that function as agents for defense and
stress resistance. These genes not only play crucial roles in plant growth and development …

Plants face excess light stress on daily as well as on seasonal basis. The excess of
excitation energy on cellular organelles prone to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation …

The stilbenoid pathway is responsible for the production of resveratrol in grapevine (Vitis
vinifera L.). A few transcription factors (TFs) have been identified as regulators of this …

Background Different metabolic compounds give pepper leaves and fruits their diverse
colors. Anthocyanin accumulation is the main cause of the purple color of pepper leaves …

Anthocyaninless (white) instead of black/red (coloured) fruits develop in grapevine cultivars
without functional VviMYBA1 and VviMYBA2 genes, and this conditions the colour of wines …
