Développement de l’appareil végétatif et maturation du raisin sur quatre sols de Pomerol en 1995

Abstract

The Pomerol vineyard, located 35 km east of Bordeaux, covers around 800 ha on the left bank of the Isle.There is a system of fluvial terraces with more or less coarse gravel and pebble spreading, resting on a Tertiary substratum ranging from the Middle to Upper Eocene to the Lower Oligocene (Dubreuilh, 1993). This interweaving of terraces of varying thickness results in a brutal superposition of differentiated materials which give rise to various types of soil. Several site studies in this sector of the Libounais show significant morphological and analytical differences from one point to another (Guilloux et al., 1978; Duteau, 1982; Van Leeuwen et al., 1989). The distribution of the soils of the Pomerol vineyard was studied and resulted in a cartography at 1/25000th (Merouge, 1995). This typological variability of the soils led us to study in a comparative way the behavior of Merlot noir, the predominant grape variety in the region.

Understanding aroma loss during partial wine dealcoholization by vacuum distillation

Dealcoholization of wine has gained increasing attention as consumer preferences shift toward lower-alcohol or
alcohol-free beverages. This process meets key demands, including health-conscious lifestyles, regulatory
compliance, and the expanding non-alcoholic market [1-3].

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.

Assessing bunch architecture for grapevine yield forecasting by image analysis 

It is fundamental for wineries to know the potential yield of their vineyards as soon as possible for future planning of winery logistics. As such, non-invasive image-based methods are being investigated for early yield prediction. Many of these techniques have limitations that make it difficult to implement for practical use commercially. The aim of this study was to assess whether yield can be estimated using images taken in-field with a smartphone at different phenological stages.

Cultivation of grapes Chardonnay in soils with management practices biodynamic and conventional

The cultivation of grapes, can be accomplished with the use of different systems and practices of agricultural management, the choice of the system to be followed in the vineyard, depends on the conditions of available resources, these being: natural, economic, social, cultural and territorial. As well, it is relevant to know the characteristics of the soil of the vineyard. In the last decade, has been recurrent use of agricultural practices which date back to milinares traditions, with the aim of promoting a recovery of soil and lead the management of cultivation with less damage to the ecosystem. The study here, aimed to quantify the environmental impacts caused in the use of nutrients in conventional tillage and of grapes in the biodynamic agricultural properties in the state of Rio Grande do Sul- Brazil.
