Genetic determinism of grapevine development stages as a tool for the adaptation to climate change

Abstract

A major goal of modern grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) breeding programs is the introgression of resistance genes along with desirable traits for better adaptation to climate change. Developmental stages have an impact on yield components and berry composition and are expected to shift towards earlier dates in the future. We investigated the genetic determinism of phenological stages in the progeny of a cross between two grapevine hybrids, each carrying several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for downy mildew and powdery mildew resistance. The dates of three phenological stages, budbreak, flowering and veraison, were recorded during three consecutive seasons for 209 genotypes in the vineyard. The phenotypic data analysed were the duration of three periods expressed in thermal time (degree-days): 15 February to budbreak, budbreak to flowering and flowering to veraison. High density parental and consensus genetic maps were constructed and used for QTL detection. Several QTL were detected for each period and the corresponding allelic effects were quantified and expressed in degree.days. Two virtual early and late genotypes were created by combining the relevant alleles. Using a previously validated ecophysiological model with simulated climate data for the RCP8.5 IPCC scenario, budbreak, flowering and veraison dates were predicted for the parents, Chardonnay, and the two virtual genotypes for each year up to 2100. Mean temperatures during the ripening period were calculated. The interest of the virtual genotypes in compensating for the expected shift in veraison dates will be discussed.

High-power ultrasound for improving chromatic characteristics in wines. Does a varietal effect exist?

The use of high-power ultrasound (US) during the winemaking process has been extensively studied at laboratory scale in order to demonstrate its possible use to improve the extraction of compounds of interest. However, studies on semi-industrial and industrial scale are needed to confirm this positive effect, since the International Organization of Vine and Wine approved its industrial use in 2019 [1].

Postharvest ozone treatment in grapevine white cultivars: Effects on grape volatile composition

During postharvest management, the metabolism of fruits remains active and continuous physico-chemical changes occur. Ozone treatment has an elicitor effect on secondary metabolites and the treatment conditions can influence the grape response to the stress (Bellincontro et al., 2017; Botondi et al., 2015). Regarding volatile organic compounds (VOCs), previous studies showed that ozone treatment during postharvest dehydration induces the biosynthesis of terpenes in Moscato bianco grapes (Río Segade et al., 2017). It is well known that grape VOCs greatly influence the organoleptic properties of wines, particularly terpenes in aromatic varieties.

Soil and nutritional survey of Greek vineyards from the prefecture of Macedonia, Northern Greece, and from the island of Santorini

Vitis vinifera L. is one of the most important cultures for the soil and
climate conditions of Northern Greece and Santorini. However, very little information is provided with regard to its nutritional requirements and critical levels of nutrient deficiencies and toxicities. The aim of this study was to provide an integrated nutritional survey for the Greek conditions of wine and table varieties.
