Heat berry: the influence of abiotic factors on the composition of berries, must and wine in Vitis vinifera L. CV Riesling

Abstract

It has been known for a long time that altering microclimate affects fruit composition and wine quality. The research project Heat Berry focuses on future scenarios of the climate change regarding higher temperatures and the risk of increasing sun radiation to the fruit. Field experiments were conducted in 2015 and 2016 at an experimental site at Geisenheim (Germany) using Riesling (clone 198-25 grafted to rootstock SO4). The aim of this study was to investigate and separate the effect of higher temperature to the fruit and higher light exposure in the bunch zone. Therefore, an experimental setup was designed to increase temperature inside the bunch zone (up to max. 3 °C on average) as well as defoliation and shading to influence the light exposure of the bunches. In addition, some physiological parameters and maturity measurements (Brix, yeast available nitrogen, organic acids) were determined. Aroma measurements focused on monoterpenes, C13-Norisoprenoids and polyphenols in berries as well as in samples of small scale vinification. A special focus lies on the C13-norisoprenoid TDN (1, 1, 6-trimethyl-1, 2-dihydronaphthalene). It is mostly present in mellow, aging Riesling wines and associated with a petrol taint in the sensory perception. Whether the origin of TDN is connected to viticultural and abiotic factors like temperature or sun exposure will be discussed.

Exploring the gene regulatory networks of WRKY family in grapevine (Vitis vinifera  L.) using DAP-Seq

The recent development of regulatory genomics has raised increasing interest in plant research since transcriptional regulation of genes plays a pivotal role in many biological processes. By shedding light on the target genes of the various transcription factors (TFs), it is therefore possible to infer the influence they exert on the different molecular mechanisms. In this regard, the attention was focused on WRKYs, a family of TFs almost exclusively found in plant species. In grapevine, WRKYs are involved in several biological processes, playing a key role in berry development, hormonal balance and signalling, biotic and abiotic stresses responses, and secondary metabolites biosynthesis.

Soils, climate, nutritive status and production of cv “Palomino fino” in the superior quality area of the Jerez-Xérès-Sherry zone

The Registered Appellation of Origin Mark (RAOM) « Jerez-Xérès-Sherry and Manzanilla Sanlucar de Barrameda » is one of the oldest and more important zone in wine history and production. «Albarizas» unit (white calcareous marls with sea-fossils) is the most representative geological material of the RAOM (75%) and even more in the central-NW area of the RAOM, known as «Jerez Superior» area (Superior Quality Sherry Area). « Albarizas » form undulated hillocks (3-10% slope) and hills (>10% slope), the litologic unit has E-W and S-W direction, and Regosols and Leptosols are the principal soils.

Using unmanned aerial vehicle with multispectral camara to efficiently and precisely monitor the incidence of downy mildew and technical maturity of beibinghong (vitis amurensis Rpru.) grapes 

Multispectral unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been successfully applied in monitoring vine vegetative growth, however, there are still potential relationships between remote sensing vegetation indexes (vis) and vine condition or grape quality, so it is worthy a deeper investigation to make a better use of UAV. One of the purposes of the study is to find out vis that could denote the severity of downy mildew (DM), so that precise and differentiated control strategies would be adopted subsequently.
