Biosynthesis of flavonoids in grapevines (Vitis vinifera L.) / Mark Downey.

Bibliography: p. 227-253. / xvii, 254 p. : ill. (chiefly col.), photos (col.) ; 30 cm. / Title page, contents and abstract only. The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This project sought to examine the spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the composition, of the flavan-3-ols, proanthocyanidins and flavonols in winegrapes throughout berry development. In addition, the author sought to explore how modifying bunch exposure to light would impact upon flavonoid biosynthesis in the grape berry by comparing the flavonoid composition of shaded and exposed grapes. The expression of key genes in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway was also investigated to understand how the pathway is regulated during berry development. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, School of Agriculture and Wine, Discipline of Wine and Horticulture, 2004
