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.

Nitrogen forms and Iron deficiency: how do Grapevine rootstocks responses change?

Grapevine rootstocks provide protection against environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. Nitrogen (N) and iron (Fe) are growth-limiting factors in many crop plants due to their effects on the chlorophyll and photosynthetic characteristics. Iron nutrition of plants can be significantly affected by different nitrogen forms through altering the uptake ratio of cations and anions, and changing rhizosphere pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the response mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks due to the interaction between different nitrogen forms and iron uptake.

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.

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.

The 1000 grapevine genomes project: Cataloguing Australia’s grapevine germplasm

Grapevine cultivars can be unequivocally typed by both physical differences (ampelography) and genetic tests. However due to their very similar characteristics, the identification of clones within a cultivar relies on the accurate tracing of supply records to the point of origin. Such records are not always available or reliable, particularly for older accessions. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) provides the most highly detailed methodology for defining grapevine cultivars and more importantly, this can be extended to differentiating clones within those cultivars.
