«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.

Physiological and growth reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt to row orientation and soil water status

Advanced knowledge on grapevine row orientation is required to improve establishment, management and outcomes of vineyards on terroirs with different environmental conditions (climate, soil, topography) and in view of a future change to more extreme climatic conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the combined effect of row orientation, plant water status and ripeness level on the physiological and viticultural reaction of Shiraz/101-14 Mgt.

Effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California

San Joaquin Valley accounts for 40% of wine grape acreage and produces 70% of wine grape in California. Fruit quality is one of most important factors which impact the economical sustainability of farming wine grapes in this region. Due to the recent drought and expected labor cost increase, the wine industry is thrilled to understand how to improve fruit quality while maintaining the yield with less water and labor input. The present study aims to study the interactive effects of mechanical leafing and deficit irrigation on yield and berry compositions of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in warm climate of California.

The effects of cane girdling on berry texture properties and the concentration of some aroma compounds in three table grape cultivars

The marketability of the table grapes is highly influenced by the consumer demand; therefore the market value of the table grapes is mainly characterized by its berry size, colour, taste and texture. Girdling could cause accumulation of several components in plants above the ringing of the phloem including clusters and resulting improved maturity. The aim of the experiments was to examine the effect of girdling on berry texture characteristics and aroma concentration.

Application of a fluorescence-based method to evaluate the ripening process and quality of Pinot Blanc grape

The chemical composition of grape berries at harvest is one of the most important factors that should be considered to produce high quality wines. Among the different chemical classes which characterize the grape juice, the polyphenolic compound, such as flavonoids, contribute to the final taste and color of wines. Recently, an innovative non-destructive method, based on chlorophyll fluorescence, was developed to estimate the phenolic maturity of red grape varieties through the evaluation of anthocyanins accumulated in the berry skin. To date, only few data are available about the application of this method on white grape varieties.

Different yield regulation strategies in semi-minimal-pruned hedge (SMPH) and impact on bunch architecture

Yields in the novel viticulture training system Semi-Minimal-Pruned Hedge (SMPH) are generally higher compared to the traditional Vertical Shoot Positioning (VSP). Excessive yields have a negative impact on the vine and wine quality, which can result in substantial losses in yield in subsequent vintages (alternate bearing) or penalties in fruit quality. Therefore yield regulation is essential. The bunch architecture in SMPH differs from VSP. Generally there is a higher amount but smaller bunches with lower single berry weights in SMPH compared to VSP.
