Early Elgo Demetra: the new pink table variety seedless with big berry and resistant

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new pink “Early Elgo Demetra” variety. The seedless resistant grape variety “Early Elgo Demetra” was created by P. Zamanidis at the Athens Vine Department of the Institute of Olive and Subtropical Plants, in 2014.

Material and methods – The variety created by crossing with the hybridization method of the Russian resistant table variety “Talisman” with the newly Greek variety “Volga” (“Talisman” with a mixture of pollen “Perlet” and “Sultanina”). Created variety is a complex hybrid between dissimilar species of European, American and Far East (V. Amurensis). 

Results – The duration of the “Early Elgo Demetra” variety from budburst to maturity is 126-135 days. The variety is strong with very large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higher over 95%. The shoot and the tip of the young shoot are green-colored and hairless. The yield is high more than 40 t / ha. The average weight of the cluster is 700 g. The content of sugar is high. The “Early Elgo Demetra” grape is large, conical, low density, with a long elliptical shape, pink color, with an average weight of until to 8 g, and has small pseudo-seed that are not understood in consumption. The mature leaf is medium size, symmetrical, and five sort lobs. The berry is sort elliptical with skin is thin and high resistance. The flesh has a pleasant taste. The grape is kept on for a long time. It is intended for edible use. It is kept for a long time in refrigerators and has excellent transport behavior. It has high resistance to fungal diseases, insects, high resistance to low temperatures, high resistance to drought and tolerant in Phylloxera compared to other varieties of Vitis vinifera. Can be used in the genetic improvement of Vitis vinifera varieties as a resistance donor, for fungal diseases, insects and low temperature.

Profiling the Metschnikowia yeast populations in spontaneous fermentation of Amarone della Valpolicella

The microbial diversity during spontaneous grape must fermentation has a determinant influence on the chemical composition and sensory properties of wine. Therefore, yeast diversity is an important target to better understand wine regionality. Hence, the aim of this study was to isolate, identify, and characterize the yeast core microbiota in grape must during the early stage of lab-scale spontaneous fermentation of withered grapes to produce Amarone della Valpolicella wine (Verona, Italy).

How a microscopic yeast makes a big difference – how geographic limitations of yeast populations can determine the regional aroma of wine

Aim: Microbial biogeography contributes to regional distinctiveness of agricultural products and is important to determine for quality and marketing of wine products. We evaluated the microbial influence on wine characteristics by considering the microbial diversity of soil, plant, grapes, must and wine in grapegrowing regions across Victoria, Australia.

Effect of riboflavin on the longevity of white and rosé wines

Light is a fundamental part at sales points which influences in the conservation of wines, particularly in those that are sold in transparent glass bottles such as rosé wines and increasingly white wines. The photochemical effect known as “light-struck taste” can cause changes in the aromatic characteristics of the wine. This “light-struck taste” is due to reactions triggered by the photochemical sensitivity of riboflavin (RBF).

The impact of cell wall composition of the extraction of anthocyanins and tannins from grape berries

Extraction of anthocyanins and tannins have been studied for two grape varieties, Carignan and Grenache, two maturation levels and two vintages, in model solutions and in wines, using UHPLC-MS/MS in the MRM mode  and HPSEC.

Application of high-throughput sequencing tools for characterisation of microbial communities during alcoholic fermentation

Developments in high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies allow us to obtain large amounts of microbial information from wine and must samples. Thus approaches, that are aimed at characterising the microbial diversity during fermentation, can be enhanced, or possibly even replaced, with HTS-based metabarcoding. To reduce experimental biases and increase data reproducibility, we compared 3 DNA extraction methods by evaluating differences in the fungal diversity with Riesling alcoholic fermentation samples at four different vineyards. The fungal diversity profiling was done using the genetic markers ITS2 and D2 using metabarcoding. The extraction methods compared consisted of a commercial kit, a recently published protocol that includes a DNA enhancer, and a protocol based on a buffer containing common inhibitor removal reagents. All methods were able to distinguish vineyard effects on the fungal diversity, but the results differed quantitatively.
