Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Water deficit increased Cabernet Sauvignon berry trans-piceid accumulation fivefold.
- Intervention effect Water deficit significantly increased transcripts for stilbene precursor biosynthesis genes in Cabernet Sauvignon.
- Mechanism Increased stilbene synthase expression resulted in greater trans-piceid concentrations.
- Mechanism Resveratrol-O-glycosyltransferase expression did not account for increased trans-piceid concentrations.
- Intervention effect The same gene transcripts declined in Chardonnay under water deficit.
- Observation Twelve SNPs were identified in stilbene synthase gene promoters across three cultivars.
- Observation These polymorphisms changed eight predicted cis regulatory elements in Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
- Mechanism The authors suggest cultivar-specific mechanisms control resveratrol biosynthesis.
