The Metabolomic Profiling of the Flavonoid Compounds in Red Wine Grapes and the Impact of Training Systems in the Southern Subtropical Region of China.

Flavonoids play an important role in forming wine grapes and wine quality characteristics. The flavonoids of three winter red wine grapes, Yeniang No. 2 (YN2), Marselan (Mar), and Guipu No.

Widely Targeted Metabolomics Profiling Reveals the Effect of Powdery Mildew on Wine Grape Varieties with Different Levels of Tolerance to the Disease.

Powdery mildew is an economic threat for viticulture because it not only affects grape yield, but also causes a series of impacts on the qualities of fruit and wine, especially the flavors and various metabolites. Different grape varieties may have different levels of powdery mildew resistance/tolerance and their components of their metabolome are also various. In this study, two wine grape varieties, Guipu No.

Comparison of transcriptional expression patterns of phenols and carotenoids in 'Kyoho' grapes under a two-crop-a-year cultivation system.

To fully utilize the characteristic climatic conditions in the southern region of China, a two-crop-a-year cultivation system technique for 'Kyoho' grape was developed during the past decade. After summer harvest in June, appropriate pruning and chemical treatments promote flowering and fruiting, which enables a second harvest in late December. Due to climatic differences between the two crop growing seasons, grape phenol and carotenoid metabolism differ greatly.
