The study found that the number of genes involved in grape and fragrance is twice as high as that of other genetically sequenced plants. This means that the aroma of wine can be traced back to the genetic level. And now all the wines are made from Pinot Noir grapes. In this case,
The fourth, and the first, researchers to decipher the main wine brewing Pinot Noir PN40024. PN40 024 is a stable grape cultivar derived from Pinot Noir grapes and is the main raw material used to make brandy and champagne. In this case,
Wine grapes are by far the fourth genome to be fully deciphered flowering plants. For fruit plants, it is the first. The other three genomes were rice, poplar and Arabidopsis. In this case,
The sequencing of PN40024 was led by Pantrich Winkel, a geneticist at the National Center for Gene Sequencing in France. In theory, the grape more than 30,000 genes sequencing analysis, help to cultivate a more sweet taste, better able to resist pests and diseases of high-quality grapes. In this case,
The PN40024 grape's DNA is divided into millions of fragments and sequenced, and then use the computer program to combine gene coding, resulting in a complete genome. The sequencing results showed that the majority of the 30,000 genes in the grape genome (about 500 million base pairs) were used to make terpene compounds and tannins that impart flavor to grapes, a much larger proportion than other plants . In this case,
The reason for the sequencing of the grape gene The main goal of the genome sequencing of grapes are three: First, the development of pests and diseases of grapes; Second, the taste is more sweet grapes; Third, the researchers hope to be able to screen for resistance genes and breeding Excellent resistance to pests and diseases, reduce the use of pesticides. In this case,
Grape in the health care products
1. Tannic acid It is a grape skin and grape seed astringent sense of the compounds, especially in the red grape in the content of more. It is not only an important ingredient in keeping wine tastes, but also helps prevent atherosclerosis. In this case,
2. terpene terpene is particularly rich in musk grapes, can be distributed out of roses and violet flowers, many plants and essential oils in flowers is one of the most widely used as natural food flavor additives, but also the main perfume ingredient. In this case,
Resveratrol grape genome of the deciphered grape to determine the resveratrol gene source, which is produced in the epidermis of grape leaves and berries, the plant is the result of fungal disease infection response. Resveratrol is a kind of important plant antitoxin and antioxidant, which can prevent the biological aging and enhance the antiviral ability in red grape and red wine. Resveratrol is also known as reversal alcohol. Studies have shown that reversal of alcohol can prevent cardiovascular disease and longevity.
