Impact of the ‘Pinot’-family on early ripening in cool climate viticulture varieties

Abstract

‘Pinot Precoce Noir’ (PPN) is an early ripening clone of ‘Pinot Noir’ (PN). The phenological differentiation is visible by an about two weeks earlier onset of veraison. It was found that the early veraison locus Ver1 on chromosome 16, previously identified in ‘Calardis Musqué’, originated from PPN. A highly correlated SSR marker, namely GF16-Ver1,was developed and tested for its ability to molecularly differentiate between PPN and PN as well as its potential to trace individual descendants. GF16-Ver1 shows a 2bp difference in fragment size, which is sufficiently descriptive to discriminate between the original PN allele and the mutant Ver1 allele of PPN associated to early veraison. All screened cultivars showing the specific fragment sizes of the veraison affecting PN or PPN allele, appeared to be related to the Pinot family, demonstrating its unique character. Grouping of cultivars based on the fragment length of GF16-Ver1 matched with known pedigrees and allowed a reliable allocation of entire family trees to their respective PN or PPN founder. Additionally, grouping of cultivars by the GF16-Ver1 marker demonstrated the phenological significance and descriptive value. The marker enables an easy screening of genetic resources and breeding material using established SSR-based marker-assisted selection pipelines. The use of GF16-Ver1 will help breeders to adapt their breeding programs for cool-climate viticulture to the challenges of climate change through counter-selection of Ver1. It will also help to elucidate all early ripening PPN descendants on a genetic basis and demonstrate the high relevance of this locus in current cool-climate varieties.

Adaptation of Lactobacilli towards low ph and SO2 to develop MLF in base musts for sparkling wines

In some white wines, malolactic fermentation (MLF) is very interesting, and for low pH wines this process is particularly difficult. Although MLF is generally not recommended for sparkling white wine, some winemakers prefer to promote MLF to contribute to organoleptic complexity. Oenococcus oeni is generally the bacterium of choice for MLF.

Prediction of sauvignon blanc quality gradings with static headspace−gas chromatography−ion mobility spectrometry (SHS−GC−IMS) and machine learning

The main goal of the current study is the development of a cost-effective and easy-to-use method suitable for use in the laboratory of commercial wineries to analyze wine aroma. Additionally, this study attempted to establish a prediction model for wine quality gradings based on their aroma, which could reveal the important aroma compounds that correlate well with different grades of perceived quality METHODS: Parameters of the SHS−GC−IMS instrument were first optimized to acquire the most desirable chromatographic resolution and signal intensities. Method stability was then exhibited by repeatability and reproducibility. Subsequently, compound identification was conducted. After method development, a total of 143 end-ferment wine samples of three different quality gradings from vintage 2020 were analyzed with the SHS−GC−IMS instrument. Six machine learning methods were employed to process the results and construct a quality prediction model. Techniques that aim to explain the model to extract useful insights were also applied.
