changes in the proteome <strong>of</strong> field grown sun-exposed or shaded<br />

berries on the east or west side <strong>of</strong> the row and inside or outside<br />

the canopy. The proteome analysis from whole berries by 2-D<br />

PAGE revealed around 900 total proteins. Principal component<br />

analysis done with all protein spots ascertained three statistically<br />

different proteomes. This result suggested that microclimate<br />

conditions are significantly distinct according to berry position<br />

within the grape. Among proteins differentially expressed, some<br />

(rubisco, chalcone isomerase, abscissic stress ripening, 14-3-3<br />

is<strong>of</strong>orms, thioredoxin-dependent peroxidise, ATP synthase and<br />

carotenoid dioxygenase) presented high variation <strong>of</strong> expression<br />

levels. The expression analysis by qPCR <strong>of</strong> several flavonoid<br />

gene showed that their transcript amounts were modified by berry<br />

microclimate. These results give particularly new insights in<br />

berry proteome and show microclimate-induced changes. Also,<br />

these data raise questions about the role in berries <strong>of</strong> proteins<br />

which abundance is modulated by microclimate changes.<br />

photodegradation on mass loss and subsequent biotic decomposition.<br />

We harvested litter from 25 native and introduced species<br />

growing in temperate ecosystems in Argentina. While direct<br />

photodegradative losses were relatively small overall, the magnitude<br />

<strong>of</strong> the effect with attenuation <strong>of</strong> UV and visible light was<br />

12% and 65% respectively. When these litter samples were then<br />

placed on the soil surface for biotic incubation, we observed a<br />

strong and consistent (P
