PARIS (AFP) - Scientists in France and Italy have deciphered the complete genetic code for the plant producing wine grapes, according to a study published Sunday.
----------------------------------------While the findings will do nothing to enhance the mystique of winemaking, they could pave the way for gene-based manipulations to boost flavour and improve resistance against disease. The researchers also found extra copies of genes involved in the production of resveratrol, the compound believed to give some of the noted health benefits to red wine. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070826/sc_afp/s...11bhNECnCI25sy9IJLmWJhMgF [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 27, 2007 4:37:10 PM] |
