Ozone treatment: a solution to improve sanitary and physiological quality of vine plant

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – The vineyard world is faced to a lot of fungal diseases. Grapevine Trunk Diseases (GTD) are some of the major. After exhibiting chronical foliar symptoms, grapevines can die by apoplexy within only few days. A range species of fungi was described to be associated with the apparition of early symptoms of GTD. It is well known that ozone dissolved into water is a powerful disinfectant with no remanence. The main goal of this study was to test the efficiency of this process on different fungal species associated with GTD in vitro and in planta conditions.

Material and methods – In vitro sanitary tests: Eighteen strains of two different species associated with GTD were selected (Phaeomoniella chlamydospora and Phaeoacremonium minimum). Ozone dissolved into water (4.5 g.m-3 according the Henry’s law) or autoclaved demineralized water (control) were applied on spore suspensions from strains. Suspensions were then plated on agar medium. Germinating spores were observed after five days. In vivo sanitary tests:Cuttings of Vitis vinifera Cabernet-Sauvignon clone 15 were drilled until the vascular channels. In each injury, plants received 20 µL of spore suspension (105 spores.mL-1) of P. minimum. Immediately after inoculation, infected wounded damages were treated with 20 µL of ozone dissolved into water (4.5 g.m-3 according the Henry’s law). The fungal development was evaluated 4, 6 and 9 weeks after inoculation by q-PCR.

Results – In vitro sanitary tests: Solution of ozone dissolved into water presented a complete sporicide effect. Indeed, no spore germinated in ozonated treatments whereas water treated controls normally developed. In vivo sanitary tests:The anti-fungal abilities of ozone treatment were secondly assessed by quantification of P. minimum DNA in woody tissues (via qPCR). Four and six weeks after inoculation, ozone treatment strongly reduced the source of inoculum present in the injury, resulting in more of 50% decrease of the number of P. minimum copies per ng of total. After nine weeks, the quantity of DNA is more important in ozone modality than in control modality. These results suggest that ozone treatment slowed down the fungal colonization via its primary sporicide effect in cutting-wounding conditions. Finally, consequences on the physiological aspect of the plant after ozone treatment should be discussed during the congress thanks to some news results.

Comparison of various storage conditions to preserve polyphenols in red-grape pomace

Red grape pomace, a waste from wine production, can be valorised by extracting polyphenols, high-added value compounds used in cosmetics or oenology. For use at an industrial level, using green extraction techniques, pomace need to be stored before being processed. The aim of this study is to test various storage conditions in order to maintain high level of polyphenols over 180 days, while keeping storage cost economically interesting. In a first step, different storage conditions (ambient temperature or cooled (4°C) temperature, anaerobic (saturation with N2) or aerobic conditions, and addition of sulphur dioxide (SO2)) were compared on small samples (1 kg) packed in plastic pockets. The quality of storage was assessed by following the optical density of the pomace extract at 280 nm (DO 280 expressed as mg/l eq gallic acid), which is an indication of the amount of remaining extractable polyphenols.

Artificial intelligence (AI)-based protein modeling for the interpretation of grapevine genetic variants

Genetic variants known to produce single residue missense mutations have been associated with phenotypic traits of commercial interest in grapevine. This is the case of the K284N substitution in VviDXS1 associated with muscat aroma, or the R197L in VviAGL11 causing stenospermocarpic seedless grapes. The impact of such mutations on protein structure, stability, dynamics, interactions, or functional mechanism can be studied by computational methods, including our pyDock scoring, previously developed. For this, knowledge on the 3D structure of the protein and its complexes with other proteins and biomolecules is required, but such knowledge is not available for virtually none of the proteins and complexes in grapevine.

Influence of pre-fermentative steps on varietal thiol precursors

The content of 3-sulfanyl-1-hexanol and its acetate ester in wine is affected by a number of factors, including the concentration of its precursors S-3-(hexan-1-ol)-L-glutathione (G-3SH),

First quantification of glut-3SH-SO3 and glut-3SH-al in juice and wine

3-Sulfanylhexan-1-ol (3SH) is a key impact odorant of white wines such as Sauvignon Blanc.[1] In particular, the varietal characters of Sauvignon Blanc, especially from Marlborough New Zealand, are strongly influenced by the concentrations of 3SH.[2,3

Un jour, l’AOD (Appellation d’Origine viticole Durable), fusion de l’origine et de la durabilité

The evolution of wine quality issues is historically expressed by the passage from wine quality (what is a wine?) to wine quality (what is a good wine?). Perhaps the next question could be: what is a good sustainable wine? To contribute to reflection on this theme, it may be worthwhile to undertake an exercise in prospective fiction, which we have identified in the hypothesis of the AOD, the “appellation d’origine durable”, a scenario we will develop in the light of developments in the wine industry and the regulation on geographical indications.
