Characterization of Mesoclimatic zones competent for the culture of vine (vitis vinifera l.) in the province of San Juan, Argentina

Abstract

Le zonage agroclimatique a pour objet de caractériser des lieux ayant des aptitudes distinctes pour la production de la vigne. La province de San Juan en Argentine est l’une des régions vitivinicoles les plus chaudes du pays. Cette étude a pour but de déterminer les zones aptes à la culture de la vigne, en se basant sur l’analyse du mésoclimat de cette province, et de définir l’aptitude viticole de ces zones et leur délimitation géographique.
Des indices écologiques sont calculés sur de longues séries de données, provenant d’un réseau de stations météorologiques. La comparaison de ces indices a permis de sélectionner les plus représentatifs et de grouper les mésoclimats similaires.
Dans la province de San Juan, six zones climatiques ont été définies, caractérisant le comportement de la vigne selon le type mésoclimatique. L’intégrale thermique de base 13°C et l’indice des températures minimales du mois avant récolte dans cette région chaude sont les variables principales qui permettent ce zonage.

The aim of an agroclimatic zoning is to characterize areas, which have different capacities for the vine growing production. The Province of San Juan is the hottest grapes and wines producing region of Argentine. This study aims at determine the zones in the province which are competent for the vineyards thanks to analysis of microclimate, and to define their agricultural and enological potential.
Ecological indices coming from databases of meteorological stations have been calculated. The comparison among these indices allowed to select the most representative of them and to gather similar mesoclimates.
In the Province of San Juan, six climatic zones have been characterized, each of them corresponding to a specific vine behaviour. This zoning has been made thanks to two main indices: the thermic integral basis 13°C and the indices of minimal temperature during the month before harvesting.

Response of Albariño to local environmental conditions in Uruguay

Albariño is a white cultivar that has been recently promoted in Uruguay due to its ability to maintain high berry quality even in adverse climate conditions during ripening. This study aims to assess the effect of different topographic conditions on Albariño agronomic behavior and oenological potential.

From protein-centered to gene-centered approaches to investigate DNA-protein interactions in grapevine

DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in critical cellular processes such as DNA replication, transcription, recombination, repair, and other essential activities. Consequently, investigating the interactions between DNA and proteins is of paramount importance to gain insights into these fundamental cellular mechanisms. Several methodologies have been devised to uncover DNA-protein interactions, which can be broadly categorized into two approaches. The “protein-centered” approach focuses on identifying the DNA sequences bound by a specific transcription factor or a set of TFs. Techniques falling within this category include chromatin immunoprecipitation, and protein-binding microarrays.

Effects of abscisic acid treatment on Vitis vinifera L. Savvatiano and Mouchtaro grapes and wine characteristics

Grapes development is determined by grape cultivar and vineyard climatic conditions and consequently affecting the phenolic and aroma on grapes and wines. Abscisic Acid (ABA) plays a key role in the promotion of fruit ripening and fruit anthocyanin content. Herein, we report the impact of ABA to grape ripening and wine quality.
