Effects of long-term drought stress on soil microbial communities from a Syrah cultivar vineyard

Abstract

Changes in the rainfall and temperature patterns affect the increase of drought periods becoming one of the major constraints to assure agricultural and crop resilience in the Mediterranean regions. Beside the adaptation of agricultural practices, also the microbial compartment associated to plants should be considered in the crop management. It is known that the microbial community change according to several factors such as soil composition, agricultural management system, plant variety and rootstock. Considering the increasing pressure of the biotic and abiotic stresses, it is utmost necessary to also evaluate the effects of drought on the microbiome associated to grapevine in a sensitive Mediterranean region (Alentejo – Portugal).

In this study we characterize the diversity and the structure of the soil microbial community of the drought tolerant Syrah cultivar under long-term irrigation experiment (five years) with three levels (100% ETc – FI; 50% ETc – DI; rain-fed – NI). Metabarcoding of bacteria (16S rRNA subregion) and fungi (ITS region) was applied on the same soil samples. Also soil chemical analysis are being integrated with genomic data.

Although the richness and evenness indexes for alpha diversity did not show strong differences among the irrigation strategies for neither of the targeted microorganisms, beta diversity revealed statistically supported community differentiation. Across all samples the top three bacterial phyla were Pseudomonadota, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota with a total relative abundance of 60%. Regarding the most represented bacterial species across samples, Gaiella occulta, an uncultured actinobacteria first described in deep mineral waters in Portugal, is shown with prevalence in DI samples with more than 10% of total ASVs.

Next, we will predict communities functionalities, bacterial networks, according to soil chemistry data and compare them with the soils’ samples obtained in July 2023.

Effect of pH and ethanol on Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in red must fermentation: potential use of wine lees

Wine is the result of the alcoholic fermentation (AF) of grape must. Besides AF, wine can also undergo the malolactic fermentation (MLF) driven out by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). Among LAB, Oenococcus oeni and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum are the dominant species in wine. Even if O. oeni is the most common LAB undergoing MLF in wine, due to its high tolerance to wine conditions, L. plantarum can be used to undergo MLF in must. The moderate tolerance of L. plantarum to low pH and ethanol, may compromise the fermentative process in harsh wines.

Typicality of Rioja wines: identification of sensory profiles for the three subregions of DOCa Rioja

Within the DOCa Rioja three main production areas are differentiated: Rioja Alta (RA), Rioja Alavesa (RAv) and Rioja Oriental (RO). They are three diverse territories with particular characteristics that are claimed to give rise to differentiated profiles. The present work aims at evaluating the sensory diversity of young commercial red wines in these three subregions. Therefore 30 young red wines (mainly Tempranillo and vintage 2021), ten from each subregion, were sensory described following a non-verbal free sorting task and a verbal free comment task by 32 well-established Rioja winemakers.

Prediction of aromatic attributes of red wines from its colour properties 

Wine perception is a multisensory experience that makes use of the sight, smell, and taste senses. When wine is sensorially assessed, the stimulus received generates multiple signals that tasters convert into organoleptic descriptors. Colour is commonly the first attribute evaluated during wine tasting. Moreover, the colour properties provide the taster with a priori information of the wine’s aroma. This preconceived perception is later confirmed or denied during the aroma evaluation.

Under-vine management effects on grapevine vegetative growth, gas exchange and rhizosphere microbial diversity

The use of cover crops under the vines might be an alternative to the use of herbicides or tillage, improving grapevine quality and soil characteristics. The aim of this research was to study the implications of different management strategies of the soil under the vines (herbicide, cultivation or cover crops) on grapevine growth, water and nutritional status, gas exchange parameters and belowground microbial communities.
The experimental design consisted in 4 treatments applied on 35L-potted Tempranillo vegetative grapevines with 10 replicates each grown in an open-top greenhouse in 2022 and 2023. Treatments included two cover crop species (Trifolium fragiferum and Bromus repens), herbicide (glyphosate al 36%) and an untreated control.
