Phenotypical impact of a floral somatic mutation in the cultivar Listán Prieto

Abstract

The accession Criolla Chica Nº2 (CCN2) is catalogued as a floral mutation of cultivar Criolla Chica (synonym for cv. Listán Prieto). Contrary to what is observed in hermaphrodite-cultivated varieties like Criolla Chica, CCN2 exhibits a prevalence of masculinized flowers. Aiming to study the incidence and phenotypical implications of this mutation, CCN2 plants were deeply studied using Criolla Chica ‘Ballista’ (CCBA) as control plants. For each CCN2 plant, two inflorescences per shoot were sampled and segmented into proximal, mid and distal positions, relative to the pedicel. Flowers were observed through magnifying lens and classified according to OIV151 descriptor. CCN2 exhibited flowers of type 1 (masculinized) and 2 (intermediate), while CCBA exhibited only type 3 (hermaphrodite) flowers, as expected. CCN2 averaged more than 55% of type 1 flowers per cluster, which were predominant in the proximal position (63%), gradually diminishing towards distal positions. This distribution correlates with low fruit set rates towards proximal positions. In CCN2, a high percentage of inflorescence abscission per plant (avg. 50%) was observed, starting in stage EL-27. This phenomenon was not observed in CCBA. Additionally, histological sections of flowers at different developmental stages were performed. In type 1 flowers of CCN2, style and stigma tissues exhibited null development with atrophied ovules; these structures were present although poorly developed in type 2 flowers, potentially producing the few berries per cluster observed at harvest. Overall, the studied floral mutation identified in CCN2, strongly affects the development of female reproductive tissues and organs, drastically hindering fruit-set rate and cluster production.

REDWINE project: use of Chlorella vulgaris to prevent biotic and abiotic stress in Palmela’s region, Portugal, vineyards

The new EU Green Deal aims to achieve GHG emissions reduction by at least 55% by 2030 and a climate neutral EU economy by 2050.
REDWine concept will be realized through the establishment of an integrated Living Lab demonstrating the viability of the system at TRL 7. The Living Lab will be able to utilize 2 ton of fermentation off-gas/year (90% of total CO2 produced in the fermenter) and 80 m3 of liquid effluent (100% of the liquid effluent generated during fermenter washing) to produce 1 ton (dry weight) of Chlorella biomass/year. This biomass will be processed under a downstream extraction process to obtain added-value extracts and applied in food, cosmetic and agricultural end-products and to generate a new EcoWine. REDWine will focus on the recovery of off-gas from a 20.000L fermenter of red wine production existing in Adega Cooperativa de Palmela (ACP, located in Palmela, Portugal).

The use of microwaves during the maceration of Cabernet Sauvignon wines for improving their chromatic characteristics

The use of new technologies such as microwaves (MW) arose in recent years as an efficient alternative to reduce the use of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and as a method for improving wines in terms of color and aroma [1, 2]. MW (non-ionizing electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 300 MHz and 300 GHz) have been widely applied in the food industry in order to reduce processing time and favor food preservation.
