Veraison as determinant for wine quality and its potential for climate adapted breeding

Abstract

The evaluation of new grapevine genotypes regarding their potential to produce high quality wines is the time limiting factor in the process of grapevine breeding. Hence, the development of quality-related markers useable in marker-assisted selection (MAS) as well as in prediction models for this bottleneck trait will tremendously enhance breeding efficiency. In extensive studies a training set of a segregating white wine F1 population (150 F1 genotypes = POP150; `Calardis Musqué´ x `Villard Blanc´) was deeply phenotyped and genotyped for model development and QTL analysis.

The high variance in ripening time within this population was identified as major factor influencing the quality potential of the individual genotypes. This is mainly induced by the early veraison locus Ver1 on chromosome 16 genetically inherited by ‘Calardis Musqué’. Ver1 could be traced back to the early ripening ‘Pinot Noir’ (PN) clone ‘Pinot Precoce Noir’ (PPN). Many important quality attributes of the population were directly affected, especially sugars, organic acids, pH value and key aroma compounds. For some of these constituents the Ver1 locus shows the highest genetic impact in QTL analysis. Understanding the genetic base of ripening and the subsequently resulting effects on quality offers breeders knowledge and helpful tools for the early and efficient selection of genotypes carrying hidden (at least until the first full yield) potential for quality oriented climate-adaption. Furthermore, it enables the implementation of additional selection criteria in marker-assisted selection (MAS), when stacking of resistance loci is no longer the limiting factor in seedling production.

Characterization of vineyard sites for quality wine production using meteorological, soil chemical and physical data

The quality of grapevines measured by yield and must density in the northern part of Europe -conditions can be characterized as a type of “cool climate” – vary strongly from year to year and from one production site to another, i.e. différences in must densities can range from 30 to 50 °Oe. An explanation may be changes of weather conditions during critical developmental stages of the grapevines (2, 3, 5). These can be categorized as “macro climatic” influences.

From genes to vineyards: system biology and new breeding technologies for water stress tolerance in grapevines

One of the major challenges for food security and sovereignty is to produce stress-tolerant plants without introducing foreign DNA, because the legislative process, that bans transgenics, challenges us to find new solutions for producing plants that can survive the drought. To achieve this goal, we need to identify genes that can be modified to improve stress tolerance in plants. In this work, we present an online tool for exploring the transcriptome of grapevines under water stress, which is one of the most important abiotic stresses affecting viticulture. The tool is based on a comprehensive collection of rna-seq data from 997 experiments, covering four different tissues (leaf, root, berry, and shoot), various levels of water stress, and diverse genetic backgrounds (cultivars and rootstocks) with different levels of tolerance to water stress.
