Abstract
This project sought to examine the spatial and temporal distribution, as well as the composition, of the flavan-3-ols, proanthocyanidins and flavonols in winegrapes throughout berry development. In addition, the author sought to explore how modifying bunch exposure to light would impact upon flavonoid biosynthesis in the grape berry by comparing the flavonoid composition of shaded and exposed grapes. The expression of key genes in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway was also investigated to understand how the pathway is regulated during berry development.
