      Llorens, Eugenio; Camañes, Gemma; Lapeña, Leonor; García Agustín, Pilar Frontiers Media (2016-04-12)
      Hexanoic acid (Hx) is a short natural monocarboxylic acid present in some fruits and plants. Previous studies reported that soil drench application of this acid induces effective resistance in tomato plants against Botrytis ...
    • openAccess   The flavour of grape colour: anthocyanin content tunes aroma precursor composition by altering the berry microenvironment 

      Rodríguez Lorenzo, Maité; MAURI PANADERO, NURIA; Royo Brun, Carolina; Rambla, José L.; Diretto, Gianfranco; Demurtas, Olivia Costantina; HILBERT, Ghislaine; Renaud-Gentié, Christel; Tobar, Vanessa; Huete, Joaquín; Delrot, Serge; Granell, Antonio; Martínez-Zapater, José Miguel; Carbonell-Bejerano, Pablo Oxford University Press (2023-06-09)
      Anthocyaninless (white) instead of black/red (coloured) fruits develop in grapevine cultivars without functional VviMYBA1 and VviMYBA2 genes, and this conditions the colour of wines that can be produced. To evaluate whether ...
