Recognition of terroir in american viticultural areas

Abstract

Un’ Area di Viticultura Americana, detta AVA, è una regione vinicola delimitata ed è dis­tinguibile da caratteristiche geografiche i cui confini sono stati definiti da regolamenti. Il sistema AVA rappresenta un ‘accettazione del concetto di terroir (terreno), come dimostra­no gli studi che confermano il carattere regionale dei vini AVA e dalla sviluppo di sub­denominazioni più relazionate al terreno. Designazioni dell’ AVA denotano l’origine, non la qualità, ma promuovano lo sviluppo di qualità mentre che produttori di vino che cercano differenziazione nel mercato adottino metodi viticulturali ed enologici che massimizzano la qualità dei vini dai loro terreni unici. Alcune AVA si sono fatte riconoscere per delle vari­etali particolari e alcune hanno realizzato dei livelli cosi alti attraverso una serie di vari­etali che i loro vini possono essere raccomandati in gran parte basati solo sulla denomi­nazione.

Toward a model of grape proanthocyanidin extraction during vinification

PAs are compartmentalised within the grape berry, and differ in their composition and degree of extractability. Within each compartment, the CWM limits PA extraction firstly by its degree of permeability and secondly its ability to complex with PA molecules.

Preliminary steps of a protocol to isolate transcription factors bound to a specific DNA locus in grapevine using CRISPR-dCas9 system

Cis-acting regulatory elements are DNA sequences that can be bound by transcription factors to regulate the expression of genes in a condition-dependent and tissue-specific way. It is nowadays possible to search for DNA motives and sequences that a given transcription factor is binding or at least can, but it is still hard to have a glance at all the transcription factors that are contemporaneously located at the same locus. Inspired by an existing technique that uses the CRISPR-Cas system in mammal cells, we are trying to develop a protocol to study such regulation in Vitis vinifera. Using the highly sequence-specific binding capacity of a catalytically inactive Cas9 protein (dCas9), our idea is to set up a system to target a desired sequence and precipitate all the crosslinked proteins and distantly interacting chromatin at this locus and analyze them.
