Biochemical & Molecular Aspects of Flavan-3-OL Synthesis During Berry Development

  • Chapter
Grapevine Molecular Physiology & Biotechnology

Flavan-3-ols make up a large group of flavonoid compounds, encountered in several tissues of plants and involved in reactions against various biotic aggressions, such microbial pathogens (bacteria and fungi), insects and larger herbivores (Dixon et al. 2005). They comprise monomers (often called catechins), and oligomers and polymers, called condensed tannins or proanthocyanidins (PAC). In grapevine they are present in wood, stems, leaves, and in fruits (Boukharta et al. 1988, Souquet et al. 2000, Bogs et al. 2005, Tesnière et al. 2006). They are quantitatively the most abundant secondary metabolites of grape berries. They are extracted during winemaking and are a major qualitative factor in red wines because of their implication in colour stability, astringency and bitterness.
