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.

Zonazione del comprensorio soave sulla base delle caratteristiche climatiche, pedologiche e viticole

[English version below]

A tre anni dal suo inizio, nel 1997 si è conclusa la prima fase della ricerca “Caratterizzazione della produzione DOC Soave”. Lo studio ha basato il suo percorso sperimentale su alcuni punti fondamentali tra i quali:
• Recupero di tutte le informazioni storico-colturali sul vino Soave e sul suo territorio di produzione.

Can soil nitrate explain polyphenol and anthocyanin content in vineyard with similar available soil water regime? 

Nitrogen (N) is quite important nutrient in grapevine development and must quality, but under Mediterranean climatic conditions, available soil water (ASW) during grapevine development can also influence vigour and must quality. The aim was to determine the influence of soil nitrate (NO3-) availability on N foliar, yield, and must quality in vineyards with similar available water holding capacity (AWC). For this purpose, four cv. Tempranillo (Vitis vinifera L.) vineyards were selected. All of them are placed in Uruñuela municipality (La Rioja, Spain), separated less than 2.5 km and in a slope <1 %, in soils with similar soil chemistry properties and with similar rooting depth (ranging between 105 cm and 110 cm).

The role of phytoplasma effector interaction with phosphoglucomutase in the pathogenicity of ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’ in grapevine 

Bois noir is the most widespread phytoplasma grapevine disease in Europe. It is associated with ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’. In symptomatic grapevines cv. ‘Zweigelt’ infected with ‘Ca. P. solani’ compared with uninfected grapevines, metabolic pathways associated with phosphorylated sugar production were induced both at the transcriptional level and at the level of activity of the corresponding enzymes (Dermastia et al., 2021, Int. J. Mol. Sci. 22: 3531). In particular, the expression of gene coding for phosphoglucoisomerase was upregulated, resulting in increased phosphoglucoisomerase enzyme activity.

Terroir characterization from cv. Merlot and Sauvignon plots follow-up within the scope of wine-production : “Vins de Pays Charentais” in the Cognac eaux-de-vie vineyard area

Dans les études des terroirs, il est souvent délicat d’établir des zonages et de mesurer les effets de l’environnement sur les vins. Avec plus d’un million d’hectares dans l’aire d’appellation délimitée, le terroir du célèbre vignoble de Cognac est bien connu pour ces eaux-de-vie et ainsi divisé en 6 crus.

Above and below–research challenges for the future of winegrape production

Grapevines interact with the climate (aboveground) and the soil (belowground), affecting the characteristics of winegrapes produced. These interactions are impacted by climate change, the erosion of biodiversity, and losses of soil organic matter (SOM).
