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.

L’essor des produits “No-Low” : nouveaux défis pour l’étiquetage et la réglementation

In recent years, “no-low” products seem to become a new worldwide trend. It appears to be a possible answer to the well-known context of climate change, the decline in wine consumption, and the wellness/health trend (“free from” claims, vegan, and so on…) That consumers are looking for. The aim of this study is to provide an overview of the “no-low” products sold in the french market (but not only french products), focusing on the labelling, packaging, and sales presentation of these products.

Validating a portable ad-hoc fluorescence spectrometer for monitoring phenolic compounds during wine fermentation

Phenolic compounds are fundamental to wine quality, influencing its colour, mouthfeel, stability, and ageing
potential [1]. Their extraction and evolution during fermentation plays a crucial role in determining the final sensory
attributes and requires careful monitoring to guide winemaking decisions.

Cover crops influence on soil N availability and grapevine N status, and its relationship with biogenic

The type of soil management, tillage versus cover crops, can modify the soil microbial activity, which causes the mineralization of organic N to NO3–N and, therefore, may change the soil NO3–N availability in vineyard. The soil NO3–N availability could influence the grapevine nutritional status and the grape amino acid composition. Amino acids are precursors of biogenic amines, compounds mainly formed during the malolactic fermentation. Biogenic amines have negative effects on consumer health and on the wine organoleptic quality. The objective was to study if the effect of conventional tillage and two different cover crops (leguminous versus gramineous) on grapevine N status, could relate to the wine biogenic amines composition.

Vineyard altitude as a climate change adaptation strategy and its effect on Riesling during grapes and wine composition during ripening

Climate is one of the main drivers of spatial and temporal variability in grapevine physiology and therefore a key determinant of grape composition and final wine value. The world has warmed 1.1 °C since pre-industrial times, and the latest IPCC report indicates an additional 0.5 to 1.3 °C of warming by mid-century with continental locations warming at a greater rate than the oceans.

La zonazione della valle d’Illasi (Verona)

In the bottom of Val d’Illasi (Verona province), one of the major valleys which passes through the Lessini mountains, viticulture is widely extended. In the territory belonging to Illasi and Tregnago villages, which includes ca. 1100 ha of vineyards, devoted to produce Soave and Valpolicella DOC wines, an experimental survey was conducted on a network of twenty five reference vineyards.
