Two stilbene ‘chemovars’ in V. sylvestris. (A) Principal component analysis (PCA) over time-dependent accumulation of different stilbene species in a population of 86 genotypes of grapevine. Black, controls (untreated fresh leaf); red (0h), green (6h), and blue (24h) give different time points after a UV-C pulse of 10min. The PCA comprises data from three independent experimental series measuring cis-piceid, trans-piceid, cis-resveratrol, trans-resveratrol, viniferin, cis-piceatannol, trans-piceatannol, and pterostilbene. (B) Representative stilbene profiles of four genotypes. The relative proportion of piceid and piceatannol versus resveratrol and viniferin is shown for the control and 24h after the UV-C pulse. The total abundance of stilbenes is represented by the size of the pie. Pinot Blanc and Ke53 belong to the blue cluster shown in A; Augster Weiss and Ke89 belong to the green cluster.
