Evaluation of the agronomic performance of cvs. Syrah and tempranillo when grafted on a new series of rootstocks developed in spain

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ The choice of an adequate rootstock is a key tool to improve the performance of grapevine varieties in different ‘terroirs’, as rootstocks confer adaptation to soil characteristics such as salinity, acidity, lime content or drought. Moreover, it is well‐known that rootstocks also have a significant influence on the growth and vegetative cycle of the plants and, consequently, on yield and grape quality, and they can be a relevant adaptation tool of viticulture in a changing climate. Therefore, it is essential to have a sufficient supply of rootstock varieties in order that the winegrowers can choose the best suited to the different growing conditions. However, since the beginning of the 20th century, the development of new grapevine rootstocks has been very limited, despite growers’ needs have changed dramatically. The objective of this study was to evaluate the agronomic performance of cvs. Syrah and Tempranillo when grafted on eight new rootstocks belonging to the RG‐Series, obtained by the Spanish nursery Vitis Navarra.

Material and methods ‐ The evaluation was performed during 4 consecutive seasons in a vineyard located in Miranda de Arga (Navarra, Spain), where Syrah and Tempranillo are grown grafted on 10 different rootstocks (eight new rootstocks and the two parental, 41B and 110R). The vineyard was planted following a completely randomized experimental design, with three replicates of ten vines. During the study period (2015‐2018), parameters related to growth, yield, and industrial and phenolic quality were collected in order to evaluate their performance.

Results ‐ The different rootstocks significantly modified growth, yield and quality parameters in both varieties, some showing very promising features for higher yielding vineyards, and some not so productive but interesting for higher quality grape production.

Mannoprotein extracts from wine lees: characterization and impact on wine properties

This study aims at exploiting an undervalued winemaking by-product, wine yeast lees, by developing efficient and food-grade methods for the extraction of yeast glycoproteins. These extracts were then supplemented to wine and their impact on wine properties assessed.

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.

A multivariate approach using attenuated total reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopy to measure the surface mannoproteins and β-glucans of yeast cell walls during wine fermentations

Yeast cells possess a cell wall comprising primarily glycoproteins, mannans, and glucan polymers. Several yeast phenotypes relevant for fermentation, wine processing, and wine quality are correlated with cell wall properties. To investigate the effect of wine fermentation on cell wall composition, a study was performed using mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate methods (i.e., PCA and OPLS-DA). A total of 40 yeast strains were evaluated, including Saccharomyces strains (laboratory and industrial) and non-Saccharomyces species. Cells were fermented in both synthetic MS300 and Chardonnay grape must to stationery phase, processed, and scanned in the MIR spectrum.

Mining terroir influence on bioactive polyphenols from grape stems: A correlation-network-driven approach to spatialize metabolomics data

In viticulture, the concept of terroir is often used to enlighten the environmental-based typicity of grapevines grown in a local area however its scientific basis remains under debate. Grape polyphenols as key player of the plant defense system enables adaptation to environmental changes and so far, form a unique metabolic component to investigate the terroir influence.
