Characterization of non-cultivated wild grapevines in Extremadura (Spain) 

Abstract

Several Eurasian wild grapevine populations were found along Extremadura region (southwestern Spain). For conservation and study, one individual from four different populations (named L1, L2, L5 and L6) was vegetatively propagated and planted at Instituto de Investigaciones Agrarias Finca La Orden (CICYTEX), Badajoz. The aim of the present work was to characterize those conserved individuals from four different populations based on both an ampelographic description and a molecular analysis. Three vines per individual were studied. The ampelographic characterization was carried out according to 84 OIV descriptors from the list for grape varieties and Vitis species (2001). The genetic study, which includes a set of 13 microsatellite loci and 240 nuclear SNP data, was performed using total genomic DNA extracted from young leaves. Sexual organs (OIV 151) observed in L1 had fully developed stamens and reduced gynoecium (note 2) while L2, L5 and L6 were female (note 4). Attending berry size (OIV 220 and 221) two groups were found: (i) very short and narrow (1) in L5 and L6, and (ii) medium (3/5) in L2. Consequently, mean berry weight was larger in L2 (1.05 g) than in the other populations (< 0.5 g). Regarding the seeds (4 replicates of n = 100), their length was very short for all population except L2 (OIV 242). The wide/length coefficient of seeds was around 0.7 for L5 and L6 and significant lower in L2. The genetic study found four different genotypes. All of them were unique among the about 3000 genotypes existing in the ICVV-SNP database. The genetic structure analysis identified as Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris (Gmelin) (membership Q value > 0.9) the individuals from populations L5 and L6, while L2 corresponds most probably to Vitis vinifera subsp. vinifera (cultivated). Future studies on the evaluation of grapes and wines will help to better understand the potential oenological application of the wild grapevines characterized in this work.

Combined use of leaf removal and natural shading to delay grape ripening in Manto negro (Vitis vinifera L.) under deficit irrigation 

The increasingly frequent heat waves during grape ripening pose challenges for premium wine grape production. This makes the development of irrigation and canopy management techniques of great importance to maximize yield and grape quality. A field experiment was carried out during 2021 and 2022 using Manto negro wine grapes to study the effect of two irrigation strategies and different light exposure levels on grape quality.

Physico-chemical properties of vine pruning residues with potential as enological additive

Grapes are one of the world’s primary fruit crops, and pruning activities generate high amounts of annual wood wastes [1]. These pruning shoots contain valuable phenolic compounds and could have numerous potential applications [1,2]. Consequently, the aim of this work was to evaluate the physico-chemical properties of vine pruning residues with potential as enological additives. For this purpose, grapevine shoots from 12 varieties grown in Chile were collected during the winter of 2021.

Preliminary results of water status and metabolite content of three new crossbreed winegrape genotypes

This study presents the preliminary results obtained in 2022, of the evaluation of three new crossbreed winegrape genotypes and their parental varieties, grown under controlled irrigation (60% ETc) and rainfed conditions in a wine-growing area with scarcity of water and high temperatures (Murcia, southeast Spain). The genotypes MC16 and MC80 were obtained from crosses between the varieties ‘Monastrell’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, and MS104 from crosses between ‘Monastrell’ and ‘Syrah’ [1]. The objective of this study was to analyse the physiological response and vegetative development of the 6 genotypes under the two irrigation conditions, and to study their effect on the content of soluble sugars and chlorophyll in the leaf.

Development and validation of a free solvent UHPLC/MS-MS method to analyse melatonin and its precursors in Spanish commercial wines  

Melatonin is a bioactive compound present in foods and beverages such as wines. During alcoholic fermentation, yeast transforms tryptophan into certain indole compounds, including melatonin. This paper aims to develop and validate a free solvent analytical method by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS-MS) to determine melatonin and its precursors (L-tryptophan, tryptamine, serotonin, tryptophol, N-acetylserotonin, 5-hydroxytryptophan, and 3- indoleacetic) that appropriately prevent the matrix effect.

Effect of foliar application of urea and nano-urea on the cell wall of Monastrell grape skins

The foliar application of urea has been shown to be able to satisfy the specific nutritional needs of the vine as well as to increase the nitrogen composition of the must. On the other hand, the use of nanotechnology could be of great interest in viticulture as it would help to slow down the release of urea and protect it against possible degradation. Several studies indicate that cell wall synthesis and remodeling are affected by nitrogen availability.
