Anthocyanin Profile in Berries of Wild and Cultivated Vaccinium spp. along Altitudinal Gradients in the Alps
Zoratti, Laura; Jaakola, Laura; Häggman, Hely; Giongo, Lara (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Vaccinium spp. berries provide some of the best natural sources of anthocyanins. In the wild bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), a clear increasing trend in anthocyanin biosynthesis has been reported toward northern latitudes ... -
Carotenoid metabolism during bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) fruit development under different light conditions is regulated by biosynthesis and degradation
Karppinen, Katja; Zoratti, Laura; Sarala, Marian; Carvalho, Elisabete; Hirsimäki, Jenni; Mentula, Helmi; Martens, Stefan; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Background: Carotenoids are important pigments and precursors for central signaling molecules associated in fruit development and ripening. Carotenoid metabolism has been studied especially in the climacteric tomato fruit ... -
Genetic diversity and population structure of an important wild berry crop
Zoratti, Laura; Palmieri, Luisa; Jaakola, Laura; Häggman, Hely (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The success of plant breeding in the coming years will be associated with access to new sources of variation, which will include landraces and wild relatives of crop species. In order to access the reservoir of favourable ... -
Light-controlled flavonoid biosynthesis in fruits
Zoratti, Laura; Karppinen, Katja; Escobar, Ana Luengo; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Light is one of the most important environmental factors affecting flavonoid biosynthesis in plants. The absolute dependency of light to the plant development has driven evolvement of sophisticated mechanisms to sense and ... -
Modification of sunlight radiation through colored photo-selective nets affects anthocyanin profile in Vaccinium spp. berries
Zoratti, Laura; Jaakola, Laura; Häggman, Hely; Giongo, Lara (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Objectives In recent years, the interest on the effects of the specific wavelengths of the light spectrum on growth and metabolism of plants has been increasing markedly. The present study covers the effect of modified ... -
Monochromatic light increases anthocyanin content during fruit development in bilberry
Zoratti, Laura; Sarala, Marian; Carvalho, Elisabete; Karppinen, Katja; Martens, Stefan; Giongo, Lara; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Background: Light is one of the most significant environmental factors affecting to the accumulation of flavonoids in fruits. The composition of the light spectrum has been shown to affect the production of phenolic compounds ... -
On the developmental and environmental regulation of secondary metabolism in Vaccinium spp. berries
Karppinen, Katja; Zoratti, Laura; Nguyenquynh, Nga; Häggman, Hely; Jaakola, Laura (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Secondary metabolites have important defense and signaling roles, and they contribute to the overall quality of developing and ripening fruits. Blueberries, bilberries, cranberries, and other Vaccinium berries are fleshy ...
