Petiole phosphorus concentration is controlled by the rootstock genetic background in grapevine: is this a key for understanding rootstock conferred vigour?

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Grapevine, Vitis vinifera, requires grafting on Phylloxera tolerant rootstocks of American origin in most viticultural areas of the world. The most commonly used species in rootstock creation are V. berlandieri, V. riparia and V. rupestris. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera but assure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. The objective of this work was to determine to what extent rootstocks of different parentages alter the mineral composition of petioles of grapevine.

Material and methods – Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon clone 169 was grafted onto 13 rootstock genotypes and planted in 2015 in an experimental plot named GreffAdapt. The rootstocks were: Riparia Gloire de Montpellier, 101-14MGt, 3309C, 420A, SO4, 44-53M, Gravesac, Freedom, Dog Ridge, 41B, Rupestris du Lot, 1103P et 110R. The concentration of the following 13 mineral elements was determined in the petioles at veraison (berry softening, 14/08/2017): Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Bore, Zinc, Manganese, Iron, Cupper and Aluminium. Four petioles were harvested from near the clusters from 2 plants for each block (n = 4 per rootstock genotype) and were dried (in an oven at 60°C until they reached a constant mass). Nitrogen content was determined using a Leco FP-528 instrument (LECO, St. Joseph, MI, USA). Other element contents were determined by digesting the plant sample with nitric acid and hydrochloric acid in a CEM Mars5 microwave digester (CEM, Matthews, NC, USA), elemental concentration was determined by reading the solutions on an ICP-OES MS 730-ES (Varian, Palo Alto, CA, USA). Cane pruning weight was also measured for each vine.

Results – The parentage of rootstocks has a significant effect on petiole mineral composition. Rootstocks with at least one V. riparia parent reduced the concentration of P and increased the concentration of Mg and S in the petiole of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Conclusions – Rootstocks with a V. riparia parent generally confer low scion vigour and we have shown that they also confer low petiole P concentration; this could suggest that P uptake and use is related to rootstock conferred vigour in grapevine. These results will be discussed in the context of previous work we have undertaken to understand the genetic architecture of root growth traits in grapevine. This is the first study to demonstrate a significant link between the genetic origin of a rootstock genotype and its ability to regulation scion P content.

Determination of metallic elements in Chilean wines by atomic absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry

The chemical composition of wines depends on series of variables such as the type of grape, edaphoclimatic conditions, and viticulture and winemaking practices employed during production. Metallic elements play a significant role during winemaking (e.g. as catalysts of oxidation reactions) and have been previously employed for the classification of wines according to provenance. In this work, we focused on the analysis of metallic elements (K, Na, Ca, Zn, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Al, Pb, Cd, Hg, Se, Co, Sn and As) in 145 Chilean wine samples (102 reds and 43 white wines), of seven grape varieties, and five of the major wine producing regions in Chile.

HYBRID GRAPEVINE CV BACO BLANC, BETWEEN TRADITION AND MODERNISM: FOCUS ON ENDOGENOUS EUGENOL AS RESISTANCE FACTOR TO BOTRYTIS CINEREA

The well-known antifungal and antibiotic molecule, eugenol, is widely spread in various plants including clove, basil and bay. It is also abundant in the hybrid grapevine cultivar (cv) Baco blanc (Vitis vi-nifera x Vitis riparia x Vitis labrusca), created by François Baco (19th century) in the Armagnac region. This study confirmed this cv as highly resistant to Botrytis cinerea by comparing fruit rot incidence and severity with two Vitis vinifera cultivars: Folle Blanche and Ugni Blanc. We have demonstrated the efficiency of eugenol in vitro, by further investigating the effect of small concentrations of eugenol, 3 to 4 ppm (corresponding to IC10), on B. cinerea. By comparing the two major modes of action (direct or volatile antibiosis), the vapour inhibiting effect of eugenol was more powerful. In the skin of Baco blanc berry, the total eugenol concentration reached a maximum at veraison, i.e. 1118 to 1478 μg/kg.

Colour assessment of port wines using colorimetric and spectrophotometric methods

Colour is an important quality parameter in wines and is the result of a complex mixture of pigments
(including anthocyanins and their derivatives, quinones, xanthyllium compounds, etc.). Red wine colour changes over time as pigments react between themselves and with other wine macromolecules
(particularly polyphenols). During wine tasting, colour is normally assessed on the outer rim of the wine profile in a tilted glass, since most wines are too opaque to be analysed in the middle of the glass. Therefore, depending on the depth of observation considered, the perception of wine colour can be different.
