Molecular Biology and Biochemistry of Proline Accumulation in Developing Grape Berries

  • Chapter
Molecular Biology & Biotechnology of the Grapevine

Abstract

In recent years, the value and competitive nature of the grape and wine industry has led to an increasing emphasis on producing quality fruit for the production of quality wines. In general terms the “quality” of a berry is determined by its composition. The reviewed research in this paper investigates an important aspect of grape composition, which is the accumulation of nitrogen in the form of free amino acids1, with an emphasis on the molecular biology and biochemistry of the accumulation of free proline.
