Genetic variation among wild grapes native to Japan

Abstract

Domesticated grapes are assumed to have originated in the Middle East. However, a considerable number of species are native in East Asian countries such as China, Korea and Japan as well. Evidence suggests that a total of seven species and eight varieties have been found to be native to Japan.  A wide level variation in morphology, genetic and fruit composition exist in wild grape native to Japan. Hence, the present study aimed to assess the ploidy level and genetic variability among the wild grapes native to Japan. A total of seven wild grape, in addition to two hybrids (Vitis vinifera and Vitis ficifolia (Japanese wild grape)) and one each Vitis vinifera and Vitis labruscana cultivars, were evaluated using 14 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. The RAPD markers have been reported to be highly variable both within and between species. The RAPD markers were selected simply because of their uniqueness, simplicity and discriminatory capability. Likewise, ploidy level was determined by flow cytometric methods. The flow cytometric analysis showed no variation among wild grapes and their hybrids. All grapes were diploid irrespective of origin and diverse morphological, phenological and berry characteristics. The 14 RAPD primers amplified 120 reproducible bands among 11 grape accessions. Of the 120 total bands, 114 were polymorphic and 6 were monomorphic. The unweighted pair group method of arithmetic averages (UPGMA) using 120 RAPD bands from 14 selected primers clearly separated the wild grapes into distinct groups. The affinity of hybrid grapes with their parents proved true hybridity.

Exploring relationships among grapevine chemical and physiological parameters and mycobiome composition under drought stress

Improving our knowledge on biotic and abiotic factors that influence the composition of the grapevine mycobiome is of great agricultural significance, due to potential effects on plant health, productivity, and wine characteristics. Among the various environmental factors affecting the morphological, physiological, biochemical and molecular attributes of grapevine, drought stress is one of the most severe, becoming increasingly an issue worldwide.

Preliminary study of the influence of ripening on the polysaccharide content of different red grape varieties

Grape skin has a barrier and protective function in grapes. Cell wall of grape skins is mainly composed of polysaccharides such as pectins, celulloses and hemicelluloses and structural proteins. Terroir, variety and changes during ripening can affect the content of polysaccharides in grapes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the content of polysaccharides (PS) in grapes along the ripening process. Three red grape varieties were studied: Garnacha (G), Tempranillo (T) and Prieto Picudo (PP).

Addition of glutathione-rich inactivated yeasts to white musts: effects on wine composition and sensory quality

Glutathione plays a key role in preventing some oxidative processes during winemaking. This molecule limits the must enzymatic oxidation, reacts with caffeic acid and generates a colourless compound that prevents subsequent browning. It also has a protective effect on wine aroma, preventing the oxidation of the volatile compounds with a high sensory impact.

Foliar application of urea improved the nitrogen composition of Chenin grapes

The nitrogen composition of the grapes directly affects the developments of alcoholic fermentation and influences the final aromatic composition of the wines. The aim of this study was to determine the effect and efficiency of foliar applications of urea on the nitrogen composition of grapes. This study was carried out during 2023 vintage and in the Chenin vineyard located in Estacion Experimental Mendoza (Argentina). Three urea concentrations 3, 6 and 9 Kg N/ha (C1, C2, and C3, respectively) and control (T) were applied in this vineyard at veraison.

Effect of spray with autochthonous Trichoderma strains and its secondary metabolites on the quality of Tempranillo grape

Trichoderma is one of the most widely used fungal biocontrol agents on vineyards due to its multiple benefits on this crop, such as its fungicidal and growth promoting capacity. In this work, we have analyzed the effect on the concentration of nutrients in grapevine leaves and on the quality of the grape must after spraying an autochthonous strain of Trichoderma harzianum and one of the main secondary metabolites produced by this genus, 6-pentyl-α-pyrone (6PP).
