  Abstract

A potential Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (CCD) gene was identified among a Vitis vinifera L. EST collection and a full-length cDNA (VvCCD1) was isolated. Recombinant expression of VvCCD1 confirmed that the gene encoded a functional CCD. Experimental evidence was obtained that VvCCD1 cleaves zeaxanthin symmetrically yielding 3-hydroxy-{beta}-ionone, a C13-norisoprenoidic compound, and a C14-dialdehyde. Expression of the gene was studied by real-time PCR at different developmental stages of grape berries from Muscat of Alexandria and Shiraz cultivars. A significant induction of the gene expression approaching véraison was observed in both cultivars. In parallel, the C13-norisoprenoid level increased from véraison to maturity in both cultivars.

Keywords: 9,10[9',10']-Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase; C13-norisoprenoids; grape berry development; recombinant protein.
