e0“suggesting a specific role of flavonols in photoprotection of berries growing in the HL microclimate.”
t0“Grape Berry Tissues”
t1“Overall, the HL microclimate, compared to that of LL, resulted in a higher expression of genes encoding elements associated with both photosynthesis (VvChlSyn and VvRuBisCO), carbohydrate metabolism (VvSPS1), and photoprotection (carotenoid pathways genes) in both tissues.”
