Genome wide association mapping of phenology related traits in Vitis vinifera L

Abstract

Climate change, with rise in temperatures, is leading to an advance in the dates of phenological stages, with a loss in quality of the grape final product. Therefore, the understanding of the genetic determinants driving the phenological stages of flowering, veraison and the interval between them, represents a target for the development of grapevine’s cultivar adapted to the changing environment.
Here we conducted a GWA study to identify SNPs significantly associated to flowering time, veraison time and to the interval among them. A germplasm collection (CREA-VE in Susegana, Treviso, Italy) including 649 grapevine’s cultivar representing 365 unique genotypes was considered. Cultivars were phenotyped for flowering time and veraison time along 11 years. Flowering-veraison intervals were also derived and distribution for all traits was inspected and eventually corrected. For this analysis we have built a genetic dataset including 6679 SNPs. SNPs were either recovered from litterature or integrated by genotyping through grapevine Illumina SNPChip 18K and used for evaluating the genetic structure. MLM analysis conducted independently for the three different phenological traits identified a list of few significantly associated SNPs. Among the three traits flowering time yielded the highest number of associated SNPs. For each trait SNPs consistently associated across more years were found. Moreover partially overlapping SNPs associated both to veraison time and flowering-veraison time interval were found. Interestingly most of the associated SNPs co-localized with QTL regions already known either for flowering or veraison traits in grapevine. Putative candidate genes underlying such regions are discussed.

Exploiting somaclonal variability to increase drought stress tolerance in grapevine 

Global warming has enhanced the frequency and severity of drought events, hence calling for a better management of water resources in the vineyard and for an improvement of breeding platforms. Somatic embryogenesis (SE) (i.e. the initiation of embryos from somatic tissues) can spontaneously generate new genetic variability, which results from genetic mutations, changes in epigenetic marks, or phenotypic alterations.
This study was tailored to test whether vines in vitro regenerated through SE (i.e. somaclones), can tolerate water deprivation better than the mother plant.

Exploring the impact of yeast derivatives on aromatic and sensory profiles of white and red wines: a multifactorial analysis

Specific inactivated yeast derivatives (SYDS) are obtained from s. cerevisiae yeasts by various processes (thermal, mechanical, and enzymatic) and have diverse oenological applications to improve wine quality. However, different impacts on wine sensory and aromas were reported, depending on syds types and fractions, wine matrices, and experimental settings. Few works have examined the impact of SYDS on aromas considering also those on wine macromolecules influencing organoleptic properties.

How to transform the odor of a white wine into a red wine? Color it red!

Does a white wine smell like red wine if you color it with red food coloring? A study by Morrot, Brochet, and Dubourdieu (2001, Brain and Language) suggests so. Subjects perceived red wine odors when tasting white wine that had been colored red. The perceived odor profile of the colored white wine became similar to that of a red wine. However, the forced-choice procedure used by Morrot et al. has some methodological shortcomings. Here, we used an alternative method (a rating procedure) to evaluate the presented wines.
