The foregoing paper by Lorenz et al. (1995), translated into English by P. May, describes a
new system for the identification of grapevine growth stages called the BBCH system. This is …

The knowledge of the biology of particular fruits is not in proportion to their relative importance
or value as world commodities. The present-day understanding of the developmental …

Data from two experiments on development of grape berries is re‐examined with emphasis
on partitioning of berry weight into non‐solutes per berry (largely water) and solutes per …

The following are discussed: (a) the hydrological cycle, (b) water use and transpiration, (c)
absorption of water, (d) diurnal and seasonal patterns of water relations, (e) effects of water …

An analytical assay for glycosylated secondary metabolites of grapes, juices and wines,
through quantification of glycosyl glucose (GG), has been optimized and validated. The …

The determination of glycosyl glucose (G‐G) of black grape berries was found to be optimal,
if measured on an aliquot taken from an extract made for 1 h with 50% ethanol of …

Berry shrinkage in ripening grapes cv. Shiraz is systemic within a given grapevine and
coincident between grapevines in any given season. In this present study on weight loss in …

Requirements for ripeness criteria of grapes for the making of dry table wine are considered,
using measurements of sugar and acidity. The performance of indices was assessed by …

Volatile components liberated by hydrolysis of C-18 reversed phase isolates from Vitis
vinifera cv. Shiraz juice were evaluated by sensory descriptive analysis. The isolates were …

To study ovule development, small Chardonnay and Shiraz vines were grown in pots under
controlled conditions at 25/20C day/night temperature until flowering or were transferred to …
