Effect of abiotic stress and grape variety on amino acid and polyamine composition of red grape berries

Abstract

Vines are exposed to environmental conditions that cause abiotic stress on the plants (drought, nutrient and mineral deficits, salinity, etc.). Polyamines are growth regulators involved in various physiological processes, as in abiotic plant stress responses. Stressful conditions can modify grape’s composition, and in this work, we have focused on studying the effect of abiotic stress on the composition of polyamines and amino acids in grapes. In addition, the effect of grape variety on these compounds has been studied. Forty-two grape samples from different vineyards of Pago de Carraovejas Winery, were harvested at the optimum ripening. Polyamines and amino acids of these musts were analyzed by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography with a diode-array detection system. Enological parameters were also determined according to official analysis methods. Multifactor analysis (MFA) was performed using the RStudio program, considering stress as qualitative variable.

MFA allowed differentiating the samples by stress and grape variety. Grapes from more stressed vineyards had the highest content of arginine, alanine, glutamine, methionine, lysine and serine. In contrast, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes showed higher content of proline, glycine, putrescine and spermidine, and lower content of most amino acids (tryptophan, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, arginine, alanine, glutamine and methionine) than Tempranillo grapes.

These results indicate influence of grape variety and stress factor on polyamine and amino acid content of grape berries. Polyamine concentration seems to be more associated to grape variety than to stress. Further studies are needed to assess the evolution of these compounds during ripening and fermentation since amino acids are an important source of nitrogen for yeast growth and they are volatile compound precursors.

Adsorption of tetraconazole by organic residues and vineyard organically-amended soils 

Spain is the country with the largest wine-producing area in the EU and its productivity is largely controlled applying fungicides. However, residues of these compounds can move and contaminate surface and groundwater. The objective of this work was to evaluate the capacity of bioadsorbents from different origin to adsorb and immobilize tetraconazole by themselves or when applied as organic soil amendment, and to prevent soil and water contamination by this fungicide. The adsorption of tetraconazole by 3 organic residues: spent mushroom substrate (SMS), green compost (GC) and vine pruning sawdust (VP), as well as by vineyard soils unamended and amended individually with these residues at 1.5% (w/w) was evaluated using the batch equilibrium technique.

Role of anthocyanins and copigmentation in flavonol solubility in red wines 

Over the last years, due to climate change, several red wines, such as the Sangiovese wines, have been often subjected to loss of clarity due to the formation of deposits of fine needle-shaped crystals. This phenomenon turned out to be due to an excess of quercetin (Q) and its glycosides (Q-Gs) in wines. These compounds are synthesized to a large extent when grapes are excessively exposed to UVB radiations in vineyards[1]. Unfortunately, it is not easy to predict the degree of Q precipitation because its solubility strongly depends on the wine and matrix composition[2].

Optimization of the acquisition of NIR spectrum in grape must and wine 

The characterization of chemical compounds related with quality of grape must and wine is relevant for the viticulture and enology fields. Analytical methods used for these analyses require expensive instrumentation as well as a long sample preparation processes and the use of chemical solvents. On the other hand, near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy technique is a simple, fast and non-destructive method for the detection of chemical composition showing a fingerprint of the sample. It has been reported the potential of NIR spectroscopy to measure some enological parameters such as alcohol content, pH, organic acids, glycerol, reducing sugars and phenolic compounds.

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.
