Greffadapt: a relevant experimental vineyard to speed up the selection of grapevine rootstocks

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study ‐ Grapevine is grown as a grafted plant since the end of the 19th century. The large majority of rootstocks were selected at this period. Among the large diversity of existing rootstocks, few of them are commercially used in the vineyard. However, rootstocks could be considered as a relevant way of adaptation to climate change context because they have no major impact on wine typicality unlike the changes of scion varieties. Rootstock selection is a long term process. Consequently, in addition of the selection of new bred genotypes, characterizing existing rootstocks already used in foreign countries or available in germplasm collections, is a complementary strategy to allow a faster enlargement of the rootstock range available for winegrowers.
Material and methods ‐ GreffAdapt is an experimental vineyard created to get and update the agronomical characteristics of 55 rootstocks. These rootstocks were grafted with 5 scions in 3 blocks of 5 vines each. Blocks were defined according to soil resistivity measurements and the statistical power of the experimental designed was calculated. Before planting, the genetic identity of each genotype was checked with 20 microsatellites markers and their sanitary status was analyzed with ELISA assays. Planting occurred in 2015, 2016 and completed in 2017. The fresh weight of each plant was determined at grafting and the pruning weight of each vine has been recorded annually since the plantation.
Results ‐ Phenotypic data were analyzed according to the parentage with the three main genetic background (V. riparia, V. rupestris, V. berlandieri). The weight of each plant at the grafting time and the pruning weight since the plantation were assessed. The significant relation between these variables was discussed taking into account annual data sets. The first results showed that the range of conferred vigor among the rootstock panel was large enough to identify the required diversity, necessary to fit different production objectives in the French vineyard.
Overall, GreffAdapt is a very unique experimental facility to speed up the selection of rootstocks and to analyze the relationship between conferred vigor and drought tolerance, two major selection criteria for rootstocks.

Response to powdery and downy mildew of varieties with disease resistance genes (PIWI)

Erysiphe necator and Plasmopara viticola are the causal agents of powdery and downy mildew on grapevines, leading to significant economic losses. Numerous chemical treatments are applied to control these diseases, leading to environmental problems and the appearance of resistance to these products. Therefore, the study of new strategies to achieve the objectives of sustainable development is a priority. In this sense, the use of new varieties resistant to these diseases may be an option of interest. The objective of this work was to analyze the degree of resistance of 9 varieties with downy mildew resistance genes (Rpv3 and/or Rpv12), four of which also carry a powdery mildew resistance gene (Ren 1) by in vitro inoculation assays.

Evolution of several biochemical compounds during the development of Merlot wine in the vinegrowing “Terroir” of Valea Călugăreasa

The qualitative and quantitative distribution of the phenolic compounds in red wines depends on cultivars features, on grapes maturation state, on grapes processing technology including must obtention, as well as on maceration-fermentation method (Margheri, 1981). The last two factors are responsible for the different phenolic composition of the wines produced from the same cultivar.

Effet de l’ombrage respectif des ceps et des grappes de Muscat sur leurs teneurs en composés volatils libres et glycosyles et en précurseurs d’aromes carotenoïdiques

Le Muscat de Frontignan est bien connu pour ses fortes teneurs en composés terpéniques et par l’odeur florale et fruitée que ces composés confèrent aux vins qui en sont issus (1,2).

Flavor Enhancement Of Neutral White Wines By Mango Peel Products

Varietal flavor is commonly known as the aromatic character of a wine in which the aroma of a particular grape variety predominates. However, not all varieties present particularly pronounced aromas. Therefore, different methods are constantly sought to enhance the aroma of wines with neutral aromatic characteristics, such as the use of glycosidases (1), certain yeast strains (2) or maceration with different agricultural products. In this work, aiming to improve the sensory profile together with the diversification of this product, white wines, derived from a neutral grape variety, were elaborated with the addition of mango peel by-products.

Zonazione dell’area viticola doc durello

Il lavoro di zonazione riveste un ruolo importante per capire le potenzialità e la vocazionalità di una specifica area viticola. La viticoltura dovrebbe essere vista in funzione dell’obiettivo enologico che si vuole realizzare e quindi particolare importanza riveste il risultato delle vinificazioni delle uve provenienti dai vigneti delle diverse aree della zona di produzione oggetto d’indagine. La zonazione dell’area a DOC Monti Lessini Durello ha preso in esame la varietà “Durella”, vitigno autoctono del territorio, che rappresenta la maggior parte della produzione vitivinicola della zona.
