Benefits and risks of the utilization of grape pomace as organic fertilizers

Abstract

Rhineland-Palatinate is Germany’s largest wine growing region. The recently launched collaborative project in the frame of the ‘Carl-Zeiss-Stiftungs-Kooperationsfonds für Nachhaltigkeitsforschung’ focusses on the risk-benefit assessment of the use of grape pomace (GP) from the region ‘Pfalz’ in Rhineland-Palatinate as a natural fertilizer.GP contains high loads of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and macro- as well as micronutrients which make GP an attractive, low-cost fertilizer [1,2]. On the other hand, GP may also contain residues of pesticides and mycotoxins. Their presence is undesirable in wine as well as in a potential fertilizer [3,4]. The application of high amounts of the above mentioned substances at once could negatively affect plant quality and microbial soil communities [5]. Therfore, the agricultural value of GP as a fertilizer could be limited by the transfer of these compounds into the soil. Up to date, little is known about the influence of GP constituents on the soil quality and processes, especially in a long-term exposure.In this project, we aim to determine the contents of polyphenols, mycotoxins, and pesticides in addition to the macro- and micronutrient content of GP from six different grape varieties. Furthermore, the effect on important soil parameters, such as nutrient availability, hydrodynaics, and microbiology will be analysed and evaluated.

Haplotype-Resolved genome assembly of the Microvine

Developing a tractable genetic engineering and gene editing system is an essential tool for grapevine. We initiated a plant transformation and biotechnology program at Oregon State University using the grape microvine system (V. vinifera) in 2018 to interrogate gene-to-trait relationships using traditional genetic engineering and gene editing. The microvine model is also used for nanomaterial-assisted RNP, DNA, and RNA delivery. Most reference genomes and annotations for grapevine are collapsed assemblies of homologous chromosomes and do not represent the specific microvine cultivar ‘043023V004’ under study at our institution.

Reconnaissance des vins de terroir par les consommateurs

Approaching the notion of terroir wines at the level of consumption poses a problem due to the absence of a regulatory definition of the term terroir, which is not taken up either at Community level or at national level (the Consumer Code in particular does not define not the land). However, whatever definition is adopted for the terroir, we can retain at the consumer level an identification of the terroir through the different geographical mentions appearing on the labels or on the shelves of the wine shelf.
