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.

Evaluation of uhph treatment as an alternative to heat treatment prior to the use of proteolytic enzymes on must to achieve protein stability in wine

There are currently enzyme preparations on the market with specific protease activities capable of degrading unstable must proteins and preventing turbidity in white and rosé wines. The main drawback is the need to heat the must at 75ºc for 1-2 minutes to denature the proteins and facilitate enzyme action.

Grape pomace, an active ingredient at the intestinal level: Updated evidence

Grape pomace (GP) is a winemaking by-product particularly rich in (poly)phenols and dietary fiber, which are the main active compounds responsible for its health-promoting effects. GP-derived products have been proposed to manage cardiovascular risk factors, including endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, hypertension, hyperglycemia, and obesity. Studies on the potential impact of GP on gut health are much more recent. However, it is suggested that, to some extent, this activity of GP as a cardiometabolic health-promoting ingredient would begin in the gastrointestinal tract as GP components (i.e., (poly)phenols and fiber) undergo extensive catabolism, mainly by the action of the intestinal microbiota, that gives rise to low-molecular-weight bioactive compounds that can be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Oak wood seasoning: impact on oak wood chemical composition and sensory quality of wine

Oak wood selection and maturation are essential steps in the course of barrel fabrication. Given the existence of many factors involved in the choice of raw material and in natural seasoning of oak wood, it is very difficult to determine the real impact of seasoning and selection factors on oak wood composition. A sampling was done to study the evolution of oak wood chemical composition during four seasoning steps: non matured, 12 months, 18 months and 24 months. For this sampling, three selection factors were taken into account: age, grain type and the Polyphenolic Index measured by Oakscan®. Besides extractables
(~10%), three polymers constitute the main part of oak wood: cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignins.

Extraction of pathogenesis-related proteins and phenolics in Sauvignon Blanc as affected by different

The composition of wine is largely determined by the composition of pre-fermentation juice, which is influenced by extraction of grape components. Different grape harvesting and processing conditions could affect the extraction of grape components into juice. Among these grape components, pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins are of great concern for white wine maker as they are the main cause of haze formation in finished white wine. If not removed before bottling, these PR proteins may progress into haze through the formation of complex with phenolics under certain conditions. Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) and chitinases are the main constituents of PR proteins found in protein haze.

Innovative approaches in the evaluation of the spatial and temporal biodiversity of grape varieties from the Portuguese Bairrada appellation using LIMM-PCA: a study across five harvests

Sustainable viticulture and winemaking continue to represent huge challenges, where a better knowledge about the functional role of biodiversity in the vineyard and wine ecosystems is required, as well as the varieties plasticity. Particular attention should be devoted to the spatial and temporal interactions between authorized or recommended varieties for a specific demarcated region and clime and vineyard conditions (such as soil type, orientation of the lines, age of the vine, density of planting, harvesting practices, among others).
