Response of different grapevine cultivars to water stress using a hydroscape approach

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Viticulture worldwide is currently affected by the effects of climate change. This set of adverse phenomena lead to a deterioration of functional vine mechanisms, affecting growth, physiology and grape ripening, which may cause severe losses with respect to yield and quality. To prevent water stress and other abiotic factors from severely affecting its physiology, the vine’s response is to reduce transpiration and photosynthesis rates. This response varies depending on the cultivar and its ability to adapt to the environment. The hydroscape method is based on the internal regulation of water status in the plant. It has been recently used to classify grapevine genotypes according to their iso/anisohydric behavior when they are subjected to water stress conditions. The present study was aimed to classify different grapevine genotypes according to their behaviour under drought stress using a hydroscape approach.

Material and methods – The study was conducted from 2020 to 2022 in a multivarietal vineyard. Eight cultivars were selected: Albilla Dorada, Bobal, Macabeo, Mizancho, Moscatel Serrano, Riesling, Tinto Fragoso, and Tinto Velasco. Predawn leaf water potential (ψpd) and stem water  potential (ψstem) were monitored during the summer season. Stomatal conductance, net assimilation and transpiration measurements were recorded. Using measurements of water potentials, hydroscape area and six metrics related with iso/anisohydric behavior were calculated.  

Results – In all cultivars the stress slope was lower than the non-stress slope meaning that when water stress increased, they became more isohydric. Macabeo (1.33) and Albilla Dorada (0.41) exhibited the steepest and least non-stress slope, respectively, whereas for stress slope were Tinto Fragoso (0.42) and Albilla Dorada y Riesling (both 0.02). The largest hydroscape areas were recorded for cultivars Tinto Velasco and Tinto Fragoso (1.26 MPa2 and 1.25 MPa2, respectively). Conversely, Albilla Dorada showed the smallest area (0.95 MPa2), which agrees with a severe control over its stomatal conductance (σ = – 0.57) and thus it can be considered as a cultivar with isohydric behavior. Under non-limiting water availability, the lowest ψstem  value was recorded for Tinto Velasco (– 1.23 MPa) and the highest for Bobal (– 0.67 MPa). Regarding the ψpd at which the transition point is reached, the extreme values were for the varieties Mizancho and Tinto Fragoso (ψpd = – 0.82 MPa and – 0.39 MPa, respectively). There were also differences in the range of ψpd at which the cultivars are able to extract soil water. Albilla Dorada works in a small range (– 1.46 MPa < ψpd < 0 MPa) whereas Tinto Fragoso and Mizancho operate in a higher range (– 2.1 MPa < ψpd < 0 MPa).

Climats: a model of terroir-based winegrowing recognized by UNESCO

In Burgundy, a climat has nothing to do with the weather but accurately designates a named vine plot, often centuries-old, which produces a singular wine. This wine is the combination of history, the natural environment (relief, type of soil, exposure to the sun), a grape variety and know-how going back thousands of years. The grapes of each climat are harvested separately and the wine is made from a single grape variety and has a unique name featured on the bottle. Romanée conti, clos de vougeot, montrachet, musigny, corton…

Lean management to improve sustainability in wine sector: an exploratory study in the Prosecco DOC appellation

The contemporary wine sector confronts a formidable array of challenges, including burgeoning production costs and the constricted availability of natural resources. Heightened consumer awareness regarding sustainability issues further compounds these pressures, compelling companies to adopt more judicious resource utilization strategies. In response to these imperatives, there is a growing recognition of the need to overhaul production methodologies within the wine industry with a view to minimizing inputs and eliminating waste.

Emosensory profile and chemical characterization of wine vinegar from the Douro and Rioja demarcated regions

Wine vinegars have a tangy flavor and are versatile in cooking. They’ve been used since the neolithic period and are now used as microbial inhibitors and acidifiers. They’re low in calories, have antioxidants, and have a long shelf life, but quality may decrease after opening. The objective of this study focuses on the physical-chemical, sensory, and emotional characterization of wine vinegar samples from the douro demarcated region and la rioja. In total, 22 samples of wine vinegar were analyzed at the time of opening.

Where the sky is no limit — The transformation of wine marketing through text-to-video generation AI model

The introduction of ai-driven tools in digital content creation represents a significant shift in the landscape of marketing, particularly for industries reliant on rich visual storytelling such as the wine sector. The development of ai models like openai’s sora, runway’s gen-2 or google’s lumiere, which can generate realistic video content from textual descriptions, offers promising new avenues for enhancing brand narrative and consumer engagement. This research explores the potential of text-to-video (t2v) ai models to revolutionize wine marketing by creating dynamic, engaging content that captures the essence of vineyards and their products without the need for traditional video production processes.

100 ans d’évolution des règles relatives à l’encépagement des AOC viticoles françaises : quelles perspectives face aux enjeux contemporains

To characterize a wine, the most frequently used criteria describe its color, its origin, the grape varieties from which they come, or even for white wines its residual sugar content (dry, semi-dry, sweet). In france, the system of appellations of origin set up in 1919 was initially based solely on the notoriety and origin of the wines. But given the unfavorable consequences that this lack of details generated, the public authorities quickly integrated in 1927 into the “capus” law criteria for access to designations of origin, relating to the specific characteristics of the soils of the vineyards and the grape varieties used, in particular exclusion of interspecific hybrid varieties. In 1935 the creation of the aoc system confirmed the interest in precisely defining all the production conditions that must be implemented to be able to claim the benefit of an aoc, and grape varieties were an essential condition for acquisition.
