Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Exposure to sunlight increased berry temperature by as much as 13°C above ambient and above shaded cluster temperatures.
- Observation Growing degree days accumulated between veraison and harvest were lower in 2000 than in 1999.
- Observation Merlot TSMA concentrations were higher in 2000 than in 1999 in any given treatment.
- Intervention effect Exposure to sunlight increased TSMA concentrations regardless of temperature in both years.
- Intervention effect Cooling sun-exposed clusters increased TSMA concentrations in both 1999 and 2000.
- Intervention effect Heating shaded clusters decreased TSMA concentrations in 1999.
- Intervention effect UV light barriers did not influence cluster temperature or TSMA concentrations.
- Mechanism The decrease in TSMA concentrations of west-exposed clusters is attributed to temperature rather than UV radiation.
- Intervention effect East-exposed clusters had higher TSMA concentrations than west-exposed or shaded clusters.
- Intervention effect In 2000, sun-exposed clusters had almost 10 times greater total flavonol concentrations than shaded clusters.
- Intervention effect Exposure to solar radiation increased concentrations of the 3-glycosides of quercetin, kaempferol and myricetin.
- Intervention effect UV-light barriers significantly reduced individual and total flavonol concentrations in Merlot berries.
- Intervention effect Temperature had little to no effect on flavonol concentrations in Merlot berries.
