abstract

abstract this experiment was carried out to determine the effects of proline and ascorbic acid on chilling injury, electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, peroxide hydrogen and antioxidant enzymes activity of thompson grape (vitis vinifera l.) fruit. grape fruits were treated by 0 (control), 250 and 500 µm proline and 0 (control), 2 and 4% ascorbic acid and their combinations, then stored at 1°c and 90-95 % relative humidity for 28 days. grapes treated with 500 µm proline and its combination with 2 and 4% ascorbic acid had the lowest amount of lipid peroxidation and peroxide hydrogen and lower chilling injury and electrolyte leakage than non-treated fruits. moreover, grapes treated with 500 µm proline and its combination with 2 and 4% ascorbic acid significantly increased ascorbate peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and peroxidase enzyme activity. the present study can be regarded as the first evidence that proline and ascorbic acid enhance grape fruit tolerance to cold stress and therefore fruit quality.

Accumulation of tocopherols and tocotrienols during seed development of grape (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Albert Lavallée).

Tocopherols and tocotrienols are present in mature seeds. Yet, little is known about the physiological role and the metabolism of these compounds during seed development. Here we present data on tocopherol and tocotrienol accumulation during seed development in Vitis vinifera L. cv. Albert Lavallée (Royal). This species was chosen for its ability to synthesize both tocopherols and tocotrienols....

The Study of Some Qualitative and Antioxidative Indices of Two Cultivars of Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) During Storage Life

One of the most important characteristics of fruit crops is susceptibility to decay and quality reduction during storage life. Crops with higher antioxidant capacity are tolerant to stress and have greater nutritional quality and storage life. Hence, to investigate the antioxidant capacity of two grape cultivars Ghezel uzum and Red hosseini a factorial experiment with 3 replications was carried...

Genetic structure and differentiation in cultivated grape, Vitis vinifera L.

222 cultivated (Vitis vinifera) and 22 wild (V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris) grape accessions were analysed for genetic diversity and differentiation at eight microsatellite loci. A total of 94 alleles were detected, with extensive polymorphism among the accessions. Multivariate relationships among accessions revealed 16 genetic groups structured into three clusters, supporting the classical eco-g...

In vitro Regeneration of Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cv. Perlette

Factors like slow and seasonal multiplication and infection with pathogens have constrained the use of conventional plant propagation methods, thus lead to development of new and novel methods of propagation like in vitro multiplication which ensures the production of virus and disease free elite planting material in large numbers. In the present work, in vitro regeneration protocol has been st...

Salinity Effects on Potassium Accumulation and Transporters Expression in Grape (Vitis vinifera L.). Nayer Mohammadkhani1٭, Reza Heidari2 and Nasser Abbaspour2

Hydroponically grown ten grape genotypes (Vitis vinifera L.) were treated with different concentrations of NaCl. Chawga genotype accumulated K+ in its root and shoot even at high salinity. The correlation between Na+ and K+ concentrations in root and lamina of all genotypes was negative (P
