Identification of the agronomical and landscape potentialities in Côtes du Rhône area (France)

Lipids are crucial in alcoholic fermentation, influencing yeast metabolism by providing nutrients and modulating membrane composition [1]. They also serve as precursors to aromatic compounds shaping wine sensory profiles [2].

PPhloem transport of assimilates provides the materials needed for the growth and development of reproductive structures, storage and developing organs, and has long been recognized as a major determinant in crop yield.

Nitrogen composition of grape berries plays a key role in determining wine quality, affecting the development of alcoholic fermentation and the formation of volatile compounds. Grape nitrogen composition is influenced by several factors such as viticultural practices, soil management, timing or rate of fertilization and use of rootstock, among others.In this study a proximal, non-destructive tool based on NIR spectroscopy is presented to track the accumulation of a wide range of amino acids in intact grape berries during the ripening process.

In plants, stress due to nutrient deficiency can significantly impair their development and productivity.

According to the World Economic Forum and the European Union’s Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the loss of biodiversity and the collapse of ecosystems are major threats facing humanity in the future.
