Characterizing graft union formation in different scion/rootstock combinations of grapevine 

Abstract

In most viticultural regions, grapevines are cultivated grafted, employing either hybrid or pure species of various American Vitis spp., such as V. berlandieri, V. rupestris, and V. riparia, as grapevine rootstocks. These rootstocks play a crucial role in providing resistance to the Phylloxera insect pest. Beyond Phylloxera resistance, it is desirable for grapevine rootstocks to exhibit resistance to other soil-borne pathogens and adaptability to abiotic stress conditions. The introduction of new rootstocks holds promise for adapting agriculture to climate change without altering the characteristics of the final harvested product. However, achieving high success rates in grafting for new rootstock genotypes is imperative. This study aims to develop quantitative techniques for characterizing graft union formation in different grapevine scion/rootstock combinations. The research focuses on the initial months after grafting, examining factors such as the quantity of callus (both fresh and dry mass) and the mechanical strength of the graft union. Interestingly, the quantity of callus at the graft interface varied among genotypes and did not necessarily correlate with the mechanical strength of the graft union. Challenges in quantitatively phenotyping different stages of graft union formation have impeded the identification of genetic determinants for grafting success across plant species. To address this bottleneck, various quantitative techniques are being developed to elucidate the genetic architecture of graft union formation in grapevine.

The temporal sensory interaction between 3-Mercaptohexanol, 3-Mercaptohexyl Acetate and Athanethiol using trata

Volatile sulphur compounds are a group of impact odorants with low odour thresholds that can contribute both positively and negatively to wine aroma. The varietal thiols, 3MH and 3MHA, are known to contribute positive tropical aromas to white wines and are most abundant in Sauvignon Blanc wines. The group of compounds contributing negative aromas are known as reductive sulphur compounds (RSCs) as they add a reductive aroma of asparagus, cooked vegetables and rotten egg to wines. All these compounds play a part in and are a result of the sulphur pathway in the yeast cell during fermentation and therefore attempting to increase the concentration of the varietal thiols may directly influence the concentration of the RSCs. The varietal thiols and the low molecular weight RSCs are highly volatile and therefore their sensory perception can change rapidly over time.

Traçability of main mineral elements on the chain “soil-leaf-must-wine” in relation to “terroir” and vintage in Loire Valley(France)

Dans le cadre de recherches sur la mise en évidence et le déterminisme d’un «effet terroir »un réseau de parcelles du cépage Cabernet Franc greffé sur S04, a été suivi de 1979 à 1990 en Val de Loire (A.O.C. Saumur-Champigny, Chinon et Bourgueil). Des analyses chimiques (N,P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn) ont été réalisées sur le sol, les feuilles au stade véraison, les moûts en cours de maturation et à la vendange et enfin sur le vin, pour 18 sites (répartis dans 12unités terroirs de base) et 7 millésimes différents.

“Silex vitioeno module porte-greffe”: an information system to gather experimental results on grapevine rootstocks

Maintaining stable yields and quality over time is a major challenge for the wine industry. Within the context of climate change, the choice of the rootstock is an important lever for adapting to current and future climatic conditions. Within a vineyard, the choice of the rootstock depends on the environmental conditions, the scion variety and the objectives of production. Many experimental data on the performances of rootstock already exist and can guide our decision-making.

Influence of the “terroir” (soil, climate and wine grower) on the quality of red Grenache wines in the Rhône Valley

«L’Observatoire Grenache» est un réseau de parcelles qui a été mis en place par l’Institut Rhodanien en Vallée du Rhône sur les millésimes de 1995 à 1999. Composé de 24 parcelles de Vitis vinifera L. cv Grenache noir, ce réseau vise à étudier l’influence du terroir (sol, climat et vigneron) sur la qualité des vins. Les parcelles ont été choisies afin de représenter différentes situations géographiques et géopédologiques de la vallée du Rhône. Le matériel végétal (clone, porte-greffe), la taille (cordon de Royat), la densité et l’âge de la parcelle ont été encadrées. Ainsi les conditions de milieu (sol, climat) et les pratiques du vigneron étaient les principales sources de variations.
