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.

New food trend ahead? Highlighting the nutritional benefits of grapevine leaves

The wine industry produces an enormous amount of waste every year. A wider inclusion of disregarded by-products in the human diet or its use as a source of bioactive compounds is a good strategy for reducing waste. It will not only introduce an added value to a waste product but also come upon the European Union and United Nations’ demands towards more sustainable agricultural approaches and circular economy.

Polysaccharide families of lyophilized extracts obtained from unfermented varietal grape pomaces

The recovery of bioactive compounds from grape and wine by-products is currently an important objective for revaluation and sustainability. Grape pomace is one of the main by-products and is a rich source of some bioactive compounds. The aim of this study was to evaluate the polysaccharide (PS) composition of extracts obtained from pomaces of different white and red grape varieties of Castilla y León. Grape pomaces were obtained after the pressing in the winemaking process.

Bioprotection of grape must by Metschnikowia sp.: genericity and mechanism

The market trend heads to food products with less chemical inputs, including in oenology. During the winemaking process, sulfites are commonly use to avoid microbiological contamination and stabilization of the wine thanks to its antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Nevertheless, this use is not without consequences on human health and environment, leading for example to allergic reaction and pollution. A biological alternative to these sulfites has emerges: the bioprotection.

Metabolomic insights into wine’s sensory identity: unveiling climate-driven changes in aroma composition

Wine, a sensitive and intricate agricultural product, is being affected by climate change, which accelerates grapevine phenological stages and alters grape composition and ripening. This influences the synthesis of key aroma compounds, shaping wine’s sensory attributes [1]. The complex aroma profile, resulting from compound interactions, presents a metabolomics challenge to identify these indicators and their environmental change responses, which is being addressed using diverse analytical techniques.

Genetic variation among wild grapes native to Japan

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.
