NACs intra-family hierarchical transcriptional regulatory network orchestrating grape berry ripening

The origins of plant propagation trace back to the moment of early humans’ transition from a nomadic existence to settled agricultural societies, cultivating their food.

It is often said that wine is a complex matrix and the chemical analysis of wine with the thousands of compounds detected and often measured is proof. New technologies can assist not only in separating and identifying wine compounds, but also in providing information about the sample as a whole. Information-rich techniques can offer a fingerprint of a sample (untargeted analysis), a comprehensive view of its chemical composition. Applying statistical analysis directly to the raw data can significantly reduce the number of compounds to be identified to the ones relevant to a particular scientific question. More data can equal more information, but also more noise for the subsequent statistical handling.

According to the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), Cava is protected in the quality sparkling wines made by the traditional Champenoise method were the wine realize a second fermentation inside the own bottle1. Geographical and human peculiarities of each bottle are the main way for the final quality2. The aim of this study is to find correlations and which target compounds are the most representative of the quality of two different grape varieties, Pinot Noir and Xarel·lo. The quality of these two types of grapes is being studied for each variety by a previous classification of the vineyard made by the company who provided the samples (qualities A,B,C,D, being A the better one and D the worst one). The target compounds studied are organic acids and polyphenols. The methodology for the determination of organic acids is HPLC-UV/vis and for some of them the enzymatic methodology.

In China’s social media-driven marketing landscape, user-generated content (UGC) plays a pivotal role in brand communication and consumer decision-making.

Wine production with non-Saccharomyces yeasts is getting larger application due to the positive impact of these yeasts on wine composition. Previous studies showed notably differences in chemical composition of Merlot wines obtained with Torulaspora delbrueckii.
