Impact of tomato black ring virus (TBRV) on quantitative and qualitative feature of Vitis vinifera L. Cv. Merlot and Cabernet franc

Abstract

Context and purpose of the study – Fifteen nepoviruses are able to induce fanleaf degeneration in grapes which is economically the most imprtant viral disease. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) is the main causal agent of this disease worldwide and Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) is the second most important nepovirus involved in this disease in Europe. A third nepovirus has been described in France. Indeed, Tomato Black Ring Virus (TBRV) was detected in vines for the first time in France on a multi‐varietal plot in 2009. The objective of the study was to quantify the impact of TBRV on two varieties of this plot.

Material and methods – Quantitative and qualitative impact of TBRV assessment was carried out in 2010 and 2011. Over 200 vines were analyzed by ELISA tests in order to determine their virus status. Vines were distributed in four groups: 40 vines of Merlot TBRV positive versus 40 merlot vines virus free and 40 vines of Cabernet franc TBRV positive versus 40 free of the virus. For each vine, the presence of eleven other viruses was investigated. In 2010 and 2011 shoot length was measured. In 2010, grape composition was analyzed to determine technological maturity and phenolic maturity of each vine in relation with its virus status.

Results – Shoot length and total pruning weight is reduced in TBRV infected vines, while lateral number is increased. All yield parameters are affected by the presence of the virus. Vines affected by TBRV produce less bunches and berries and smaller berries compared to healthy vines. Yield loss is greater on Merlot compared to Cabernet franc. Grape quality parameters seem to be less affected by the presence of TBRV. These results provide essential elements for the management of the viral disease in the vineyard.

Life cycle assessment (LCA) to move towards more environmentally friendly winegrowing

As six on the nine planetary boundaries have already been crossed, putting our safe life on Earth at risk (Rockström et al., 2024) and agriculture is significantly responsible for it (Campbell et al., 2017), viticulture, faces the challenge of reducing its environmental impacts through fundamental changes to its practices.

Nitrogen forms and Iron deficiency: how do Grapevine rootstocks responses change?

Grapevine rootstocks provide protection against environmental biotic and abiotic stresses. Nitrogen (N) and iron (Fe) are growth-limiting factors in many crop plants due to their effects on the chlorophyll and photosynthetic characteristics. Iron nutrition of plants can be significantly affected by different nitrogen forms through altering the uptake ratio of cations and anions, and changing rhizosphere pH. The aim of this study was to investigate the response mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks due to the interaction between different nitrogen forms and iron uptake.

Phenotyping bud break and trafficking of dormant buds from grafted vine

In grapevine, phenology from bud break to berry maturation, depends on temperature and water availability. Increases in average temperatures accelerates initiation of bud break, exposing newly formed shoots to detrimental environmental stresses. It is therefore essential to identify genotypes that could delay phenology in order to adapt to the environment. The use of different rootstocks has been applied to change scion’s characteristics, to adapt and resist to abiotic and biotic stresses[1].

Combined use of leaf removal and natural shading to delay grape ripening in Manto negro (Vitis vinifera L.) under deficit irrigation 

The increasingly frequent heat waves during grape ripening pose challenges for premium wine grape production. This makes the development of irrigation and canopy management techniques of great importance to maximize yield and grape quality. A field experiment was carried out during 2021 and 2022 using Manto negro wine grapes to study the effect of two irrigation strategies and different light exposure levels on grape quality.
