Fertilization with Seaweed (Laminaria japonica) on the characteristics of the bunch and the quality of the grape must of ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’

Abstract

The objective of the present work was to study the influence of the foliar application of seaweed (Laminaria japonica), on the bunch and on the must in the ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ grape. The experiment was carried out in the years 2021/2022, in a 21-year-old commercial vineyard, in the municipality of “Dom Pedrito” – “Rio Grande do Sul” (RS). A completely randomized experimental design was used, with 4 treatments and 4 replications (7 plants per replication). The treatments were: T1- control treatment; T2- Exal Powder 5 g L-1; T3- Hidro Exal 15 ml L-1; T4- Exal Powder 5 g L-1+ Hidro Exal 15 ml L-1. Six applications were performed (every 15 days). The following were evaluated in the bunch: length (cm), width (cm), weight (g) and number of berries. Using the WineScanTM SO2 equipment (FOSS®, Denmark), the following were evaluated in the must: sugars (g L-1), pH, tartaric acid (g L-1), malic acid (g L-1), gluconic acid (g L-1), ammonia (mg L-1), potassium content (mg L-1). For all treatments and all variables analyzed, no statistical difference was obtained. It is preliminarily concluded that the application of foliar fertilizer based on seaweed (Laminaria japonica) did not influence the analyzed characteristics of the bunch and must of the ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ vines.

Insight on Lugana flavor with a new LC-MS method for the detection of polyfunctional thiols

The analysis of polyfunctional thiols in wine is challenging due to their low abundance and instability within a complex matrix. However, volatile thiols are highly aroma-active, making their accurate quantification in wine at low concentrations crucial [1].

The real sour grapes: genetic Loci, genes, and metabolic changes associated with grape malate levels

Insufficient levels of malate and lack of acidity in commercial grape cultivars (V.vinifera) hinders the quality of fruit grown in warm climates. Conversely, excessive levels of malate and sourness in wild Vitis grape, leads to unpalatable fruit and complicates the introgression of valuable disease resistant alleles through breeding. Nonetheless, albeit decades of research, knowledge regarding the molecular regulation of malate levels in grape remains limited.

La haie bocagère comme critère de zonage à l’échelle parcellaire

In the French AOCs, the production area of ​​the raw material can be subject to plot delimitation based on criteria of physical environment and use. On the other hand, many environmental zonings are developing and the AOCs are called upon include provisions relating to these concerns. Hedges, through their effects on local changes in the regional climate and on functional biodiversity, can impact the functioning of vines and orchards. It is for this reason that their consideration as a delimitation criterion is envisaged.

From protein-centered to gene-centered approaches to investigate DNA-protein interactions in grapevine

DNA-binding proteins play a pivotal role in critical cellular processes such as DNA replication, transcription, recombination, repair, and other essential activities. Consequently, investigating the interactions between DNA and proteins is of paramount importance to gain insights into these fundamental cellular mechanisms. Several methodologies have been devised to uncover DNA-protein interactions, which can be broadly categorized into two approaches. The “protein-centered” approach focuses on identifying the DNA sequences bound by a specific transcription factor or a set of TFs. Techniques falling within this category include chromatin immunoprecipitation, and protein-binding microarrays.
