Background: Aluminum a known neuro and cholinotoxin has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Its exposure is associated with impairment of the memory and cognition.
Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the anti-Alzheimer's activity of Vitis vinifera in aluminum induced Alzheimer's disease.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we investigated the behavioral and biochemical effects of aluminum in Sprague-Dawley rats. Animals were exposed to aluminum chloride (100 mg/kg/day) orally for a period of 8 weeks. Vitis was given in doses of 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg for 16 weeks and the possible effects of Vitis vinifera on the expression of Tau and amyloid precursor protein were evaluated by PCR analysis and the possible activities of lipid peroxidation, inflammation and anti-cholinesterase activity were evaluated.
Results: Aluminum intoxication was associated with significant impairment in learning and memory in Morris water maze test. A significant improvement was observed with Vitis vinifera in a dose dependent manner.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study revealed the significant neuroprotective actions of Vitis vinifera by modifying the biochemical parameters and inhibited the mRNA expression of Amyloid Precursor Protein and Tau, which are the key pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease, which was further confirmed by histopathological observations.

Herbivorous insects need to cope with changing host plant biochemistry caused by abiotic and biotic impacts, to meet their dietary requirements. Larvae of the multivoltine European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana, one of the main insect pests in viticulture, feed on both flowers and berries. The nutritional value and defence compounds of these organs are changing with plant phenology and are affected by climate change which may accordingly alter plant-insect interactions.

Stilbenes are specialized metabolites that are particularly abundant in species. Although the biosynthetic pathways of stilbenes have been well-characterized, the role of specific peroxidases in stilbene oligomerization remains to be investigated. In this study, we used grapevine cell cultures to characterize the functional role of peroxidase 4 (VvPRX4) in the production of resveratrol oligomers after elicitation with methyl jasmonate (MeJA).

Indigenous microorganisms play a crucial role in determining the quality of naturally fermented wines. However, the impact of grape cultivar specificity on microbial composition is often overshadowed by the geographical location of the vineyard, leading to underestimation of its role in natural wine fermentation. Therefore, this study focuses on different grape cultivars within a single vineyard.

The winemaking process generates huge amounts of waste every year. Fermented grape pomace, the major by-waste product, holds significant value due to its chemical composition and technological properties. In this study a multi-omics approach was employed for the detailed molecular characterization of fermented grape pomace from Montepulciano grape, a widely used Italian red grape variety.
