«Aztec» – the new white table grape resistant variety

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new white Greek table variety grapes “Aztec”, created in 2013 by breeder P. Zamanidis at the Athens vineyard of the Institute of Olive, Subtropical Plants and Vine.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the method of hybridization of the variety “Talisman” with the newly Greek variety “Ipirotis”. “Aztec” is a cross-breeding between American, European grapevine species and Far East varieties (V. Amurensis).

Results – The duration of the “Aztec” variety from budburst to maturity is146-155 days. The variety is very strong with large shoots growth(2,1 – 3,0 m). The growth of shoots is higher over 95%. The flowers are morphologically and physiologically hermaphrodite. The yield is moderate (30-40t grapes / ha). The size of the cluster is large with a length of 26 cm and a width 15 cm, the shape is conical, medium density. The length of the peduncle of the grape is 6 cm and the length of the peduncle of the berry is 0.9 cm. The average weight of the cluster is 600gr. The size of the berry is large,sort elliptical in shape, the berry is 25 mm long and 20 mm wide with weight 7 g, and green color. The number of seeds is 1-2 per berry. The skin is of thick and high strength. The flesh is without color with aromaticlight flavor Labrusca. The content of sugar in must is greater than 240 g /l. It has high resistance to fungal diseases, insects, high resistance to low temperatures, high resistance to drought and tolerant in Phylloxera.. The « Aztec » variety is suitable for table grape and tsipouro productionin areas withvery humidity.
Can be used as a resistance donor, in fungal diseases, low temperature andinsects, in the genetic improvement of vitisvenifera varieties.

Organoleptic and analytical impacts of the color of glass of the bottles on Chasselas wine

This study was performed on Chasselas wine to assess the impact of exposure to wine light according to several glass color of bottles. The aim was to highlight any differences whether from an organoleptic or analytical point of view depending on the color. For this, four different shades were compared, dead leaf, green, cinnamon and transparent. A control, not treated with light, was also included in the study…

Monitoring early rooting behavior of grapevine rootstocks: a 2D-imaging approach

The plasticity of grapevines in response to diverse growing conditions is influenced, among other factors, by the extent to which the roots explore the soil and the ability to accumulate and retrieve water and nutrients.
Newly planted grapevines, in particular, face challenges due to limited resources. The young plant’s ability for a fast and intensive penetration of the soil is vital in periods of water scarcity. The selection of an appropriate, site-specific rootstock significantly impacts both, the quality of the fruit produced and the economic success of the wine estate.

Satellite imagery : a tool for large scale vineyard management

Remote sensing, using Near Infra Red wavelength, can characterize within-vineyard variability using vegetation index. Between 2007 and 2009, a study was led on the vineyards of a cooperative winery, in Fitou area (France) aiming at characterizing vineyard oenological potential. A vegetation index, green leaf cover, developed on crops (wheat, rice, corn…) was implemented on vineyards.
