Application of nitrogen forms such as nitrate, urea, and amino acids effects on leaf and berry physiology and wine quality

Grape pomace is one of the main by-products generated after pressing in winemaking.Emerging methods, such as ultrasound-assisted extraction with eutectic mixtures, have great potential due to their low toxicity, and high biodegradability. Choline chloride (ChCl) was used as a hydrogen bond acceptor and its corresponding hydrogen bond donor (malic acid, citric acid, and glycerol: urea). Components were heated at 80 °C and stirred until a clear liquid was obtained. Distilled water was added (30 % v/v). A solid-liquid ratio of 1 g pomace per 10 ml of eutectic solvent was used.

Production, demand, and brand awareness of dealcoholized wine (<0.5% v/v) is steadily increasing worldwide. However, there have been few studies to date investigating and comparing the different physical processes for dealcoholizing wine.

Current remote sensing strategies rely heavily on reflectance data and energy balance modelling using thermal imagery to estimate crop water use and stress. These approaches show great promise for driving precision management decisions, but still require work to better understand how detected changes relate to meaningful physiological changes. Under water stress, grapevines exhibit a range of responses involving both biological and physical changes within leaves and canopies.

Il tema da trattare si riferisce ai vari ecosistemi viticoli mondiali, ovviamente non facilmente sintetizzabili in una relazione. Sostanzialmente si richiama

Aim: The aim of this study was to quantify key berry sugar accumulation traits and characterize their plasticity in response to climate variation from data collected from different cultivars over seven years from an experimental vineyard.
