Abstract
Muscaris is a modern white grape variety with good fungal resistance and a pleasant aroma, the molecular background of which was unknown. A comparative aroma extract dilution analysis applied to Muscaris grapes and grapes of the father variety Muskateller revealed little differences and resulted in 39 and 35 odorants, respectively. Sixteen odorants exceeded their odor threshold concentrations. Odor reconstitution and omission experiments showed that the distinct lychee note in the aroma of the Muscaris grapes was generated by the combination of (2S,4R)-rose oxide and geraniol. This finding will guide further molecular research on the transfer of the lychee note into wine and may also be helpful for the targeted breeding of new grape varieties.

Abstract
Low temperature is the commonly used technique for maintaining the quality of table grapes during postharvest storage. However, this technique could strongly affect the aromatic flavor of fruit. Monoterpenes are the key compounds contributing to the Muscat aromas of grapes. The detailed information and molecular mechanisms underlying the changes in monoterpenes during postharvest low temperature storage have not been thoroughly characterized. In this study, the effects of low temperature storage on the free and bound monoterpene profiles in four cultivars of table grape were determined at both the transcriptomic and metabolomic levels. A total of 27 compounds in both free and bound forms were identified in the four cultivars and showed quantitative differences between the cultivars. Hierarchical cluster and principal component analysis indicated that the free and bound monoterpene profiles were remarkably affected by the low temperature storage. The monoterpenes in the same biosynthesis pathway were clustered together and showed similar evolution trends during low temperature storage. And the content of most of free monoterpenes underwent a rapid decline during low-temperature storage at a certain stage, but the time was different in 4 grape cultivars. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the expression of DXS, HDR, GPPS and TPS genes involved in the monoterpene synthesis pathway were consistent with the changes in the accumulation of monoterpene compounds. While the expression of HMGS, HMGR genes in MVA pathway and branch genes GGPPS and FPPS were negatively correlated with the accumulation of monoterpenes. The findings provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of the berry aroma flavor change during low temperature storage.

Abstract
The basic physical and chemical qualities, nutrition, aroma components, and sensory evaluation of 17 varieties of table grapes were studied. The quality evaluation system of different table grape varieties was preliminarily determined. Our results show that the soluble solid content in Ruby Seedless was 21.17%, which was higher than that of other varieties. The black varieties Aishenmeigui and Sweet Sapphire had the highest total phenol content. Aishenmeigui had high levels of tannin and vitamin C. In addition, the aroma contents in Meixiangbao, Ruby Seedless, and Shine-Muscat were higher than those in other varieties. Manicure Finger and Ruby Seedless had higher levels of C6 compounds. Moreover, the "Kyoho" series of grape Meixiangbao, Sunmmer Black, Jumeigui, Hutai 8 hao, and Black Beet were high in ester content, while Muscat varieties, including Zaoheibao, Aishenmeigui, Jumeigui, and Shine-Muscat were rich in terpene substances. Ruby Seedless, Shine-Muscat, and Heibaladuo had higher comprehensive scores in sensory evaluation. Hence, the comprehensive quality of Shine-Muscat, Ruby Seedless, and Aishenmeigui was better. These results may serve as references for determining the quality differences between table grape varieties.

Abstract
Volatile compounds including terpenes, aldehyde, phenol, and alcohol are significantly contributed floral and fruity aromas to the Muscat variety. 'Ruidu Hongyu' grapevine is one of the newly developed grape varieties, and cultivation of this variety has been extended across China due to unique quality traits and taste. In this study, HS-SPME/GC-MS and transcriptome sequencing analysis were performed to evaluate the impact of exogenous 2,4-epibrassinolide (EBR), jasmonic acid (JA), and their signaling inhibitors brassinazole (Brz)/sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (DIECA) on the biosynthesis of aroma substances in 'Ruidu Hongyu' grapevine. According to the results, exogenous BR and JA promoted the accumulation of various aroma substances, including hexenal, 2-hexenal, nerol oxide, vanillin, hotrienol, terpineol, neral, nerol, geraniol, and geranic acid. After EBR and JA treatments, most of the genes responsible for terpene, aldehyde, and alcohol biosynthesis expressed at a higher level than the CK group. Relatively, EBR treatment could not only promote endogenous BR biosynthesis and metabolism but also elevate BR signaling transduction. JA treatment contributed to endogenous JA and MeJA accumulation, as well. Through transcriptome sequencing, a total of 3043, 903, 1470, and 607 DEGs were identified in JA vs. JD, JA vs. CK, BR vs. CK, and BR vs. Brz, respectively. There were more DEGs under both EBR and JA treatments at late fruit ripening stages. The findings of this study increase our understanding regarding aroma substances biosynthesis and endogenous BR/JA metabolism in response to exogenous EBR and JA signals.

The beneficial effect of leaf removal during fruit set on physiological, biochemical, and qualitative indices and volatile organic compound profile of the Cypriot reference cultivar 'Xynisteri'. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:3776-3786.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 'Xynisteri' is the reference Cypriot white cultivar that, despite its significant societal and economic impact, is poorly characterized regarding its qualitative properties, while scarce information exists regarding its aroma profile. In the current study, the effect of leaf removal during fruit set (BBCH 71) on 6-year cordon-trained, spur-pruned grapevines was assessed and an array of physiological, biochemical, and qualitative indices were monitored during successive developmental stages (BBCH 75, BBCH 85, BBCH 87, and BBCH 89). Grapes were additionally monitored for the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) profile during the advanced on-vine developmental stages (BBCH 85-BBCH 89) with the employment of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier-transform near infrared (FT-NIR) spectra and electronic nose (E-nose) techniques. RESULTS Grape berries from the vines subjected to leaf removal were characterized by higher solid soluble sugars (SSC), titratable acidity (TA), tartaric acid, and ammonium nitrogen contents, while this was not the case for assimilable amino nitrogen (primary amino nitrogen). A total of 75 compounds were identified and quantified, including aliphatic alcohols, benzenic compounds, phenols, vanillins, monoterpenes, and C13 -norisoprenoids. Leaf removal led to enhanced amounts of glycosylated aroma compounds, mainly monoterpenes, and C13 -norisoprenoids. Chemometric analysis, used through FT-NIR and E-nose, showed that the aromatic patterns detected were well associated to the grape ripening trend and differences between leaf removal-treated and control grapes were detectable during fully ripe stage. CONCLUSION Leaf removal at fruit set resulted in an overall induction of secondary metabolism, with special reference to glycosylated aroma compounds, namely monoterpenes and C13 -norisoprenoids. © 2022 The Authors.

Abstract
The impact of water deficit on volatile organic compounds (VOCs) responsible for grape aroma remains quite unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different timing and intensity of water deficit on berry VOCs and on their biosynthetic pathways. Fully irrigated control vines were compared with the following treatments: i) two different levels of water deficit from berry pea-size through veraison, ii) one level of water deficit during the lag-phase, and iii) two different levels of water deficit from veraison through harvest. At harvest, total VOC concentrations were higher in berries of water stressed vines from berry pea size through veraison or during the lag phase, whereas post-veraison water deficit determined similar concentrations as control. This pattern was even more pronounced for the glycosylated fraction and was also observed for single compounds, mainly monoterpenes and C13-norisoprenoids. On the other hand, free VOCs were higher in berries from lag phase or post-veraison stressed vines. The significant glycosylated and free VOCs increment measured after the short water stress limited to the lag phase highlight the pivotal role played by this stage in berry aroma compound biosynthesis modulation. The severity of water stress before veraison was also important, since glycosylated VOCs showed a positive correlation with the pre-veraison daily water stress integral. The RNA-seq analysis showed a wide regulation induced by irrigation regimes on terpenes and carotenoids biosynthetic pathways. The terpene synthases and glycosyltransferases as well as genes of the network of transcription factors were upregulated, especially in berries from pre-veraison stressed vines. Since the timing and intensity of water deficit contribute to regulate berry VOCs, irrigation management can be used to achieve high-quality grapes while saving water.

Abstract
Grape volatile organic compounds (VOCs) play an important role in the winemaking industry due to their contribution to wine sensory characteristics. Another important role in the winemaking industry have the grapevine varieties used in specific regions or countries for wine production. Due to the high variability of grapevine germplasm, grapevine varieties are as classified based on their genetic and geographical origin into genetic-geographic groups (GEN-GEO). The aim of this research was to investigate VOCs in 50 red grapevine varieties belonging to different GEN-GEO groups. The study included varieties from groups C2 (Italy and France), C7 (Croatia), and C8 (Spain and Portugal). The analysis of VOCs was performed by SPME-Arrow-GC/MS directly from grape skins. The analyzed VOCs included aldehydes, ketones, acids, alcohols, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. The most abundant VOCs were aldehydes and alcohols, while the most numerous were sesquiterpenes. The most abundant compounds, aldehydes and alcohols, were found to be (E)-2-hexenal, hexenal, (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, and 1-hexanol. Using discriminant analysis, the GEN-GEO groups were separated based on their volatile profile. Some of the individual compounds contributing to the discrimination were found in relatively small amounts, such as benzoic acid, (E,E)-2,4-hexadienal, 4-pentenal, and nonanoic acid. The groups were also discriminated by their overall volatile profile: group C2 was characterized by a higher content of aldehydes and alcohols, and group C8 was characterized by a higher content of sesquiterpenes and acids. Group C7 was characterized by all low amount of all classes of VOCs.

Abstract
Monoterpenes are crucial to floral and fruit aromas in grapes and wines. Cluster thinning is a common practice for improving grape quality. Using Vitis vinifera cv. Muscat Hamburg, the effects of three cluster-thinning regimes on the biosynthesis and accumulation of monoterpenes from véraison to harvest were investigated at the transcriptomics and targeted metabolomics levels. It was observed that more intense thinning produced higher concentrations of total monoterpenes, particularly in their bound forms. The numbers of differentially expressed genes among the three treatments were 193, 200, and 238 at the three developmental stages. In total, 10 modules were identified from a weighted gene correlation network analysis, and one module including 492 unigenes was associated with monoterpene metabolism. These findings provide new insights into the molecular basis of the relationship between cluster thinning and monoterpene biosynthesis in Muscat Hamburg grape. Cluster thinning could be carefully considered for its application in production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anthocyanins, a major flavonoid class, determine the color and quality of wine. Recent research revealed that basal leaf removal can increase the content of these compounds. This study determined the effects of basal leaf removal on the anthocyanin profiles of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. RESULTS The effects of basal leaf removal on anthocyanin composition in Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were investigated over two growing seasons. Leaf removal at 5% veraison (VB6) and at 100% veraison (VC6) was compared with a control. Reducing sugar and total anthocyanin contents in the leaf removal group were significantly higher than in the control group at harvest for both vintages. Leaf removal increased the content of individual anthocyanins and significantly improved the malvidin-3-O-glucoside (Mv-3-glc), peonidin-3-O-glucoside (Pn-3-glc), and malvidin-3-O-(6-acetyl)-glucoside (Mv-3-acglc) content of the VB6 group. At harvest, VB6 treatment increased the transcript abundance of structural and regulator genes in the anthocyanin pathway, especially VvF3'5'H, VvLDOX, and VvDFR. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that leaf removal at 5% veraison may be useful for improving the anthocyanin content in grapes. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 33992334 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2021.110330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2020] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Hutai-8 (Vitis vinifera × Vitis labrusca) is a table grape widely cultivated in China. In order to determine the changes in volatile profile and aroma potential during berry ripening, a total of 84 free and 73 bound aroma compounds were identified and quantified using headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS). Aldehydes and esters were found to be the main volatile compounds in Hutai-8. They accumulated up to 70 days after flowering (DAF) and then decreased. Bound esters and alcohols were prominent. The concentration of bound esters in Hutai-8 at DAF80 was 714.90 µg/L. β-Damascenone, hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-nonenal, and ethyl octanoate significantly contributed to the volatile profile of Hutai-8. The odor activity value (OAV) of hexanal was the highest at DAF80, reaching 351.51. β-Damascenone mainly appeared midway through the maturation process, reaching a concentration of 12.79 µg/L. The majority of free components reached a maximum in DAF70, while the bound components continuously accumulated throughout the mature period. These results suggest that in addition to being a table grape, Hutai-8 has potential for brewing and other processing.

Abstract
Volatile aroma compounds found in grapes and hops may be present as both free volatiles and bound glycosides. Glycosides found in the raw materials are transferred to their respective fermented beverages during production where the odorless compounds may act as a reservoir of free volatiles that may be perceived by the consumer if hydrolyzed. A review of the literature on grape and wine glycosides and the emerging literature for glycosides in hops is presented in order to demonstrate the depth of history in grape glycoside research and may help direct new research on hop glycosides. Focus is brought to the presence of glycosides in the raw materials, the effect that winemaking and brewing have on glycoside levels, and current methods for the analysis of glycosidically linked aroma compounds.

Abstract
Monoterpenes provide strong floral and fruit aromas to grapes and wines. In the present study, the effects of exogenous sucrose on the monoterpenes metabolites were studied at the metabolomic and transcriptomic levels in "Muscat Hamburg" grape berries. 6% sucrose aqueous solution was used as treatment, applied at the berry color change stage and 8 days after the first application. Transcriptomics analysis was carried out on berries collected at three phenological stages (berries with intermediate Brix values, E-L 36; berries not quite ripe, E-L 37; and berries harvest-ripe, E-L 38). Our results showed that the sucrose application induced the accumulation of monoterpenes at harvest, especially geraniol and geranic acid. The summary of the number of differentially expressed genes between the control and treatment was 3465, 977, and 2843 at E-L 36, E-L 37, and E-L 38, respectively. Weighted gene correlation network analysis was constructed based on the RNA-seq data, and the MElightyellow module was probably correlated with monoterpene metabolism, comprising 131 unigenes. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain expression analysis of five key differentially expressed genes in terpenoid pathways validated the RNA-seq-derived expression profiles (R2 = 0.8143). Our findings provided new insights into the regulation of monoterpene biosynthesis in grape berries under exogenous sucrose.

Abstract
Temperature, water, solar radiation, and atmospheric CO2 concentration are the main abiotic factors that are changing in the course of global warming. These abiotic factors govern the synthesis and degradation of primary (sugars, amino acids, organic acids, etc.) and secondary (phenolic and volatile flavor compounds and their precursors) metabolites directly, via the regulation of their biosynthetic pathways, or indirectly, via their effects on vine physiology and phenology. Several hundred secondary metabolites have been identified in the grape berry. Their biosynthesis and degradation have been characterized and have been shown to occur during different developmental stages of the berry. The understanding of how the different abiotic factors modulate secondary metabolism and thus berry quality is of crucial importance for breeders and growers to develop plant material and viticultural practices to maintain high-quality fruit and wine production in the context of global warming. Here, we review the main secondary metabolites of the grape berry, their biosynthesis, and how their accumulation and degradation is influenced by abiotic factors. The first part of the review provides an update on structure, biosynthesis, and degradation of phenolic compounds (flavonoids and non-flavonoids) and major aroma compounds (terpenes, thiols, methoxypyrazines, and C13 norisoprenoids). The second part gives an update on the influence of abiotic factors, such as water availability, temperature, radiation, and CO2 concentration, on berry secondary metabolism. At the end of the paper, we raise some critical questions regarding intracluster berry heterogeneity and dilution effects and how the sampling strategy can impact the outcome of studies on the grapevine berry response to abiotic factors.

Abstract
Monoterpenes are important aroma components in grapes and wines. We analyzed the free and bound monoterpene profiles and the transcript levels of terpenoid biosynthesis genes in Vitis Vinifera cvs. Muscat Hamburg, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc grapes at five ripening stages. Principal component analyses revealed that the three cultivars had different free monoterpene profiles at harvest and the early stage of ripening. In all cultivars, the total bound monoterpene contents were higher than the free monoterpene contents during grape ripening. The changes in monoterpene profiles in different grape varieties were correlated with the transcript levels of some VviTPS and VviGT genes. In Riesling, the VviGT14 and VviUGT88A1L1 transcript levels were related to geraniol glucoside accumulation. In Muscat Hamburg, the VviPNLGl1, VviPNLGl2, and VviPNLGl4 transcript levels were related to linalool accumulation. Understanding the dynamic changes in monoterpene accumulation and biosynthesis will allow winemakers to devise strategies to improve grape and wine aromas.

Abstract
Native to China, spine grapes (Vitis davidii Foex) are an important wild grape species. Here, the quality characteristics of one white and three red spine grape clones were evaluated via targeted metabolomic and transcription level analysis. Xiangzhenzhu (XZZ) had the highest soluble sugar and organic acid content. Malvidin-3-acetyl-glucoside and cyanidin-3-glucoside were the characteristic anthocyanins in spine grapes, and significant differences in anthocyanin composition between different clones were detected. Anthocyanins were not detected in Baiyu (BY) grapes. The transcript levels of VdGST, VdF3′H, VdOMT, VdLDOX, and VdUFGT were significantly related to the anthocyanin biosynthesis and proportions. A total of 27 kinds of glycosidically bound volatiles (including alcohols, monoterpenes, esters, aldehydes, ketones, and phenolic acid) were identified in spine grapes, with Gaoshan #4 (G4) and BY grapes having the highest concentrations. The VdGT expression levels were closely related to glycosidically bound volatile concentrations. These results increase our understanding of the quality of wild spine grapes and further promote the development and use of wild grape resources.

Abstract
Fruit aroma is mainly contributed by free and glycosidically bound aroma compounds, in which glycosidically bound form can be converted into free form during storage and processing, thereby enhancing the overall aroma property. In recent years, the bound aroma precursors have been widely used as flavor additives in the food industry to enhance, balance and recover the flavor of products. This review summarizes the fruit-derived aroma glycosides in different aspects including chemical structures, enzymatic hydrolysis, biosynthesis and occurrence. Aroma glycosides structurally involve an aroma compound (aglycone) and a sugar moiety (glycone). They can be hydrolyzed to release free volatiles by endo- and/or exo-glucosidase, while their biosynthesis refers to glycosylation process using glycosyltransferases (GTs). So far, aroma glycosides have been found and studied in multiple fruits such as grapes, mangoes, lychees and so on. Additionally, their importance in flavor perception, their utilization in food flavor enhancement and other industrial applications are also discussed. Aroma glycosides can enhance flavor perception via hydrolyzation by β-glucosidase in human saliva. Moreover, they are able to impart product flavor by controlling the liberation of active volatiles in industrial applications. This review provides fundamental information for the future investigation on the fruit-derived aroma glycosides.

Abstract
Glycosylated volatile precursors are important, particularly in wine grape berries, as they contribute to the final aroma in wines by releasing volatile aglycones during yeast fermentation and wine storage. Previous study demonstrated that VviGT14 was functioned as a critical monoterpene glucosyltransferase in grape berry, while the transcriptional regulation mechanism of VviGT14 was still unknown. Here we identified VviWRKY40 as a binding factor of VviGT14 promoter by both DNA pull-down and yeast one-hybrid screening, followed by a series of in vitro verification. VviWRKY40 expression pattern negatively correlated with that of VviGT14 in grape berries. And the suppressor role of VviWRKY40 was further confirmed by using the dual luciferase assay with Arabidopsis protoplast and grape cell suspension system. Furthermore, the grape suspension cell ABA treatment study showed that ABA downregulated VviWRKY40 transcript level but promoted that of VviGT14, indicating that VviWRKY40 was at the downstream of ABA signal transduction network to regulate monoterpenoid glycosylation. These data extend our knowledge of transcriptional regulation of VviGT14, and provide new targets for grape breeding to alter monoterpenoid composition.

Abstract
Monoterpenes contribute to the varietal aromas of grapes and wines. We determined the effects of cluster zone leaf removal on the monoterpene profiles of Sauvignon Blanc grape berries and wines, and on the expression of key genes in the terpenoid pathway. Leaf removal at two intensities (half basic, 50%; full basic, 100%) was conducted at two weeks before veraison, veraison, and two weeks after veraison. Half basic leaf removal increased the pH and decreased the tartaric acid content in grapes and wines. The concentrations of most free- and bound-form monoterpenes in grapes were increased by early leaf removal. The total monoterpene contents were increased in wines in the defoliation treatments, but were significantly lower in wines from the full basic leaf removal treatments than in wines from the half basic leaf removal treatments. The defoliation treatments resulted in increased transcript levels of some key genes in terpene biosynthesis (VvPNLinNer1, VvPNLinNer2, VvPNLNGl1, VvPNLNGl2, and VvUGT88A1L1).

Abstract
The grape is one of the oldest and most important horticultural crops. Grape and wine aroma has long been of cultural and scientific interest. The diverse compound classes comprising aroma result from multiple biosynthetic pathways. Only fairly recently have researchers begun to elucidate the genetic mechanisms behind the biosynthesis and metabolism of grape volatile compounds. This review summarizes current findings regarding the genetic bases of grape and wine aroma with an aim towards highlighting areas in need of further study. From the literature, we compiled a list of functionally characterized genes involved in berry aroma biosynthesis and present them with their corresponding annotation in the grape reference genome.

Abstract
Aroma compounds provide attractiveness and variety to alcoholic beverages. We discuss the molecular biology of a major subset of beer aroma volatiles, fruity and floral compounds, originating from raw materials (malt and hops), or formed by yeast during fermentation. We introduce aroma perception, describe the most aroma-active, fruity and floral compounds in fruits and their presence and origin in beer. They are classified into categories based on their functional groups and biosynthesis pathways: (1) higher alcohols and esters, (2) polyfunctional thiols, (3) lactones and furanones, and (4) terpenoids. Yeast and hops are the main sources of fruity and flowery aroma compounds in beer. For yeast, the focus is on higher alcohols and esters, and particularly the complex regulation of the alcohol acetyl transferase ATF1 gene. We discuss the release of polyfunctional thiols and monoterpenoids from cysteine- and glutathione-S-conjugated compounds and glucosides, respectively, the primary biological functions of the yeast enzymes involved, their mode of action and mechanisms of regulation that control aroma compound production. Furthermore, we discuss biochemistry and genetics of terpenoid production and formation of non-volatile precursors in Humulus lupulus (hops). Insight in these pathways provides a toolbox for creating innovative products with a diversity of pleasant aromas.

Abstract
Floral scent is one of the most important characters in horticultural plants. Roses (Rosa spp.) have been cultivated for their scent since antiquity. However, probably by selecting for cultivars with long vase life, breeders have lost the fragrant character in many modern roses, especially the ones bred for the cut flower market. The genetic inheritance of scent characters has remained elusive so far. In-depth knowledge of this quantitative trait is thus very much needed to breed more fragrant commercial cultivars. Furthermore, rose hybrids harbor a composite genomic structure, which complexifies quantitative trait studies. To understand rose scent inheritance, we characterized a segregating population from two diploid cultivars, Rosa × hybrida cv H190 and Rosa wichurana, which have contrasting scent profiles. Several quantitative trait loci for the major volatile compounds in this progeny were identified. One among these loci contributing to the production of 2-phenylethanol, responsible for the characteristic odor of rose, was found to be colocalized with a candidate gene belonging to the 2-phenylethanol biosynthesis pathway: the PHENYLACETALDEHYDE SYNTHASE gene RhPAAS An in-depth allele-specific expression analysis in the progeny demonstrated that only one allele was highly expressed and was responsible for the production of 2-phenylethanol. Unexpectedly, its expression was found to start early during flower development, before the production of the volatile 2-phenylethanol, leading to the accumulation of glycosylated compounds in petals.

Abstract
The monoterpene linalool is a major contributor to aroma and flavor in peach (Prunus persica) fruit. It accumulates during fruit ripening, where up to ~40% of the compound is present in a non-volatile glycosylated form, which affects flavor quality and consumer perception by retronasal perception during tasting. Despite the importance of this sequestration to flavor, the UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) responsible for linalool glycosylation has not been identified in peach. UGT gene expression during peach fruit ripening and among different peach cultivars was analyzed using RNA sequencing, and transcripts correlated with linalyl-β-d-glucoside were selected as candidates for functional analysis. Kinetic resolution of a racemic mixture of R,S-linalool was shown for PpUGT85A2, with a slight preference for S-(+)-linalool. PpUGT85A2 was shown to catalyze synthesis of linalyl-β-d-glucoside in vitro, although it did not exhibit the highest enzyme activity between tested substrates. Subcellular localization of PpUGT85A2 in the cytoplasm and nucleus was detected. Application of linalool to peach leaf disks promoted PpUGT85A2 expression and linalyl-β-d-glucoside generation. Transient expression in peach fruit and stable overexpression in tobacco and Arabidopsis resulted in significant accumulation of linalyl-β-d-glucoside in vivo. Taken together, the results indicate that PpUGT85A2 expression is a major control point predicting linalyl-β-d-glucoside content.
