O-52 Functional characterization of terpene synthases of aromatic and non-aromatic grapevine varieties C. D’Onofrio* 1 , F. Matarese 1 , G. Scalabrelli 1 , P.K. Boss 2 1 Department of Fruit Science and Plant Protection, Section of Fruit Science, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy; 2 CSIRO Plant Industry, Glen Osmond, South Australia, Australia *Corresponding author: c.donofrio@agr.unipi.it Grape-derived flavour compounds and some flavour precursors modified during fermentation, wine evolution and ageing, are fundamental in determining the organolectic parameters used to define wine quality as aromatic quality, persistency and complexity are wine characteristics that may influence consumer choice. The knowledge of the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites that contribute to grape and wine flavour is not well understood and only a few genes involved in berry flavour biosynthesis pathways have been discovered and characterised. The aim of this research is the functional characterization of candidate genes thought to contribute to the volatile profiles of ‘aromatic’ (Aleatico, Moscato bianco) and ‘non-aromatic’ (Sangiovese) varieties. Samples of flowers and berries, covering developmental stages from fruit set to technological ripening, of ‘Aleatico’, ‘Moscato bianco’, and ‘Sangiovese’ have been analysed for their aroma content and the expression of genes that are predicted to be involved in grape sesquiterpene and monoterpene biosynthesis. The aroma compounds have been extracted by SPE and SPME procedures and analysed by GS-MS, while the expression of characterised grape aroma genes and some candidate genes have been analysed by real-time-PCR. Some of the genes studied show correlations between their expression patterns and the accumulation of certain aroma compounds during berry development. These genes have been the focus of functional characterization studies and include sesquiterpene synthases (which has expression patterns that correlate with the production of farnesene in flowers buds and open flowers) and a putative monoterpene synthase that is expressed when linalool accumulates during the ripening of all three grapevine varieties studied. These genes have been cloned in E. coli and the enzymatic activity of recombinant proteins is discussed. The discovery and characterization of genes that encode enzymes from grapevine flavour biosynthesis pathways and knowledge of factors that influence their expression and activity during berry development would support decisions on management of genotype, environment and viticultural practices for improving grape flavour and aroma potential. 73 
O-53 An Integrated approach to studying the positional candidate gene 1-deoxyxylulose-5- phosphate synthase (VvDXS) involved in Muscat flavor determination. F. Emanuelli* 1 , J. Battilana 1 , G.

Grando 1 1 IASMA Research Centre, Fondazione Edmund Mach, San Michele all’Adige, Trento, Italy; 2 Istituto Virologia Vegetale, CNR Unità Grugliasco, Grugliasco (TO) , Italy; 3 INRA UMR 1097 DIAPC Diversité et Adaptation des Plantes Cultivées, Montpellier, France; 4 CSIRO Plant Industry Horticultural, Glen Osmond, South Australia, Australia *Corresponding author: francesco.emanuelli@iasma.it Fragrance in table grapes and a persistent and complex aroma in wine are both sought after by the modern consumer. In particular, the floral flavor typical of Muscat varieties, due to high levels of monoterpenoids (geraniol, linalool and nerol), is highly distinct and has been greatly appreciated since ancient times. Muscat flavor determination in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) has up to now been studied by evaluating monoterpenoid quantity through QTL analysis. These studies have revealed co-localization of 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (VvDXS) with the major QTL positioned on chromosome 5. The aim of the present study was to assess the connection between the positional candidate gene VvDXS and muscat flavor by investigating the nucleotide diversity of VvDXS ORF and its expression profiles in the grape berry. Association between VvDXS polymorphisms and muscat flavor was evaluated through a structured association analysis. A putative causal SNP responsible for a predicted non-neutral substitution was found to be significantly associated with muscat-flavored varieties. Moreover, muscat-like aromatic mutants displayed unique heterozygous non-synonymous mutations near the mutated site of Muscat genotypes. The relationship between the transcription profile of VvDXS alleles and monoterpenoid accumulation was investigated over an extended period of berry development. It is possible that a particular trend in expression rather than the level of expression ratio affects monoterpenoid accumulation in Moscato Bianco. In vivo experiments using transgenic tobacco and in vitro enzymatic assays suggest that the putative causal SNP raises monoterpenoid accumulation by changing the 3D protein structure and by increasing VvDXS activity in Muscat enzyme form. 74
