Biochemical characterization of grape skin cell wall during ripening in relation to Botrytis cinerea susceptibility of two Champagne cultivars

Abstract

Pectins or pectic polysaccharides are one of the major components in grape skin cell wall, they contribute to physiological processes which determine the integrity and rigidity of grape skin tissue. Their composition and organization in the cell wall matrix differ according cultivars and also play an important role in the defense mechanisms against plant pathogen and wounding. During grape ripening, important structural and biochemical changes are modifying the cell wall integrity due to pectolytic enzymes such as pectin methylesterases and polygalacturonases which participate to the cell wall weakening and increase the grape susceptibility to pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea.This work investigated the distribution of pectic polysaccharides in the cell wall according to their molecular weight and the localization of pectins (homogalacturonans) highly and low methyl-esterified in grape skin tissue throughout the berry development of the two main Champagne cultivars (Vitis vinifera cv. Pinot noir and Chardonnay), in relation with in vitro Botrytis cinerea susceptibility tests. The skin cell wall composition was evaluated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and the pectin localization by immunogold labelling.The comparative study between the two main grape cultivars from Champagne region highlights differences in pectin composition, Chardonnay skins are characterized by less pectic polysaccharides of high molecular weight (HMW) related to a lower susceptibility to Botrytis cinerea. The pectins cellular localization showed that pectins highly methyl-esterified are more important in Pinot noir cell walls than Chardonnay ones, suggesting different mechanisms of cell walls degradation between Chardonnay and Pinot noir skins.

Spatial characterization of land use in the viticultural Maipo Valley (Chile), using aster image digital processing

L’entreprise viticole Concha y Toro S.A. gère environ 600 ha de vignes dans la Vallée du Maipo (A.O. Valle del Maipo). L’objectif est celui de caractériser spatialement ces vignobles et leur occupation du sol environnante. Le choix s’est porté vers la démarche de zonage viticole par l’analyse spatiale, utilisant des traitements d’images satellitaires afin d’avoir une vision synoptique de la zone à moindres coûts et délais. Un système d’informations géographiques (SIG) est construit à partir des données suivantes : cartes topographiques, géologique, fond cadastral numérique, images satellitaires. Un modèle numérique de terrain est par ailleurs construit à une résolution de 25 m à partir des cartes topographiques.

Viticultural zoning in the province of San Juan, Argentina. Preliminary results, year 2000

La région viticole de San Juan (Argentine) est marquée par des températures très élevées et des variations diurnes faibles. La valorisation de la connaissance de cet environnement et de ses interactions avec le fonctionnement de la vigne et le lien au vin passent par l’étude de ses terroirs et de leur caractérisation. Le point de départ de ce travail est l’étude des zones mésoclimatiques aptes à la culture de la vigne de la Province de San Juan et à la caractérisation des sols de cette même région. L’objectif est de définir le potentiel vitivinicole des zones considérées.

THE IMPACT OF NON-SACCHAROMYCES YEASTS ON THE WHITE WINE QUALITY

Selected strains of non-Saccharomyces yeasts showed a positive effect on sensory characteristics and aromatic complexity of wine. A sequential microbial culture of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species is usually inoculated due to poorer fermentability of non-Saccharomyces species. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of non-Saccharomyces yeasts in the production of white wines. We evaluated how individual combinations of sequential inoculations of non-Saccharomyces and S. cerevisiae species affect the aromatic compounds (volatile thiols and esters) and sensory characteristics of the wines.
