Influence of irrigation frequency on berry phenolic composition of red grape varieties cultivated in four spanish wine-growing regions

Abstract

The global warming phenomenon involves the frequency of extreme meteorological events accompanied by a change in rainfall distribution. Irrigation frequency (IF) affects the spatial and temporal soil water distribution but its effects on the phenolic composition of the grape have been scarcely studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of four deficit irrigation frequencies of 30 % ETo: one irrigation per day (T01), two irrigations per week (T03), one irrigation per week (T07) and one irrigation every two weeks (T15) on berry phenolic composition at harvest. The experiment was carried out during two consecutive seasons (2021 and 2022), in vineyards of Garnacha Tinta (in Badajoz: T03, T07, T15), Tempranillo (in Valladolid: T03, T07, T15), Syrah (in Albacete: T03 and T07) and Mencía (in Lugo: T01, T03, T07). Polyphenolic substances were extracted from grapes. Thirty-six compounds grouped into anthocyanins and non-anthocyanins compounds were analyzed by HPLC. In 2021, practically no effect on the accumulation of phenolic compounds caused by FI was observed. Only the concentration of acetates in Syrah increased with the T07 treatment compared to T03. In 2022, T07 compared to T03 favored the accumulation of anthocyanins compounds in Tempranillo and Syrah, while Mencía was hardly affected and Garnacha Tinta even decreased its values significantly. In Tempranillo, T15 tended to slightly increase the anthocyanin content compared to T03, while in Garnacha Tinta the concentration of acetates tended to decrease. T01 applied to Mencía tended to increase the anthocyanin content, mainly compared to T03. Regarding non-anthocyanins compounds, the different irrigation treatments did not affect the accumulation of the analysed compounds. The results show that the phenolic composition of grapes, mainly anthocyanins, can be affected by the irrigation strategy applied and its effects may vary depending on the variety and the year.

Reduction of the height of the canopy in fruit set and in pea size: vegetative, productive and maturation effects, in cv. Verdejo

Global warming is accelerating the technological ripening of the grape, with a loss of acidity, which requires that vineyard management can delay ripening to avoid it. The source-sink relation is essential for grape ripening, since it affects the distribution of photosynthates and substances derived from plant metabolism. A work is proposed to know the response of the vineyard to the drastic reduction of the foliar surface by trim down the shoots in cv.

Impact of climate on berry weight dynamics of a wide range of Vitis vinifera cultivars 

In order to study the impact of climate change on Bordeaux grape varieties and to assess the behavior of candidate grape varieties potentially better adapted to the new climatic conditions, an experimental vineyard composed of 52 grape varieties was planted in 2009 at the INRAE Bordeaux Aquitaine center[1]. Among the many parameters studied since 2012, berry weight for each variety was measured weekly from mid-veraison to maturity, with four independent replicates. The kinetics obtained allowed to study berry growth, a key parameter in grape composition and yield.

Dynamics of Saccharomyces cerevisiae population in spontaneous fermentations from Granxa D’Outeiro terroir (DOP Ribeiro, NW Spain)

Granxa D’Outeiro is a recovered ancient vineyard located in the heart of DOP Ribeiro, where traditional white grapevine varieties are growing under sustainable management. Spontaneous fermentations using grape must from Treixadura, Albariño, Lado, Godello, and Loureira varieties were carried out at experimental winery of Evega. Yeasts were isolated from must and at different stages of fermentation. Those colonies belonging to Saccharomyces cerevisiae were characterized at strain level by mDNA-RFLPs.

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.

Mycorrhizal symbiosis modulates flavonoid and amino acid profiles in grapes of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon 

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) symbiosis is probably the most widespread beneficial interaction between plants and microorganisms. AMF has been widely reported to promote grapevine growth, water and nutrient uptake as well as both biotic and abiotic stress tolerance[1]. However, the impact of AMF on grape composition has been less studied. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of the association between two commercial grapevine cultivars (Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grafted onto 110 rootstock) and AMF on the anthocyanin, flavonol and amino acid concentrations and profiles of grapes.
