Arinto clones tolerant to climate change: in depth transcriptomic study of tolerant and sensitive genotypes

Abstract

Drought and heat waves deriving from climate change have been affecting grapevine plants and altering wine characteristics in the past years, and effects are expected to get worst. Innovative approaches to address this problem have been undertaken in several varieties, that consist in exploring intravarietal variability to identify genotypes that are tolerant to abiotic stress. Such is the case of the variety Arinto, where an experimental population of 165 clones installed according to a resolvable row-column design with 6 replicates, was scanned for several parameters, including surface leaf temperature (SLT). Linear mixed models were fitted to the data of the traits evaluated, and the empirical best linear unbiased predictors (EBLUPs) of genotypic effects for each trait were obtained as well as the coefficient of genotypic variation (CVG) and broad sense heritability. The genotypes were then ranked according to their level of tolerance to abiotic stress without loss of yield/quality. The results enabled the selection of a group of genotypes with increased tolerance to stress, and also to identify the group of genotypes that was more sensitive. Then, leaves of the ten most tolerant and the ten most sensitive genotypes were sampled for RNAseq analyses. Samples were taken prior to veraison, on conditions of intense environmental stress. This analysis enabled the characterization of the transcriptome of the sensitive and of the tolerant genotypes and several markers of tolerance were identified.

This research was funded by the projects “Conservation and selection of ancient grapevine varieties” (PDR2020-784-042704), “Save the intra-varietal diversity of autochthonous grapevine varieties” (PRR-C05-i03-|-000016), and Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), through UIDB/04129/2020; Project LEAF Thematic Line Project Clones4ClimateChange.

Formation And Evolution Of Minty Terpenoids During Model Ageing Of Cabernet Franc And Merlot Wines

In recent years, a pool of terpenoids possibly implicated in minty odours and in the appreciable refreshing sensation, has been identified in long aged red Bordeaux wines (Lisanti et al., 2021, Picard et al., 2016; Picard et al., 2017). These compounds were found to play a key role in the so-called “ageing bouquet”, that can be defined as “the homogeneous, harmonious flavour resulting from the complex transformation process in wine during bottle storage” (Picard et al., 2015). Moreover the minty-fresh sensory dimension in fine aged red wines plays an important role in typicity judgement by wine professionals (Picard et al., 2015).

Terroir, climat et sol

Le sol et le climat occupent une place prépondérante dans le concept de terroir, pour lequel l’OIV s’apprête à adopter une définition internationale. Les travaux de recherche qui ont été menés depuis une trentaine d’années sur ces thèmes et qui ont été, pour les plus importants, présentés dans les 7 premiers Congrès Internationaux des Terroirs Viticoles ont considérablement modifié les connaissances sur le fonctionnement des terroirs viticoles dans le monde et le comportement des consommateurs avertis par rapport aux vins de terroirs.

Influenza dei fattori dell’ambiente sulla risposta della pianta, e caratteristiche dell’uva della cv tannat prodotta in vigneti di tre zone climatiche dell’Uruguay

Grape typicity valorization can significantly enhance viticultural sector competitiveness to the extent that contributes to the development of a wine so distinctive and unique. This work leads to the characterization of the grapes through indicators expressing environmental effects.

La zonazione viticola e i compiti dell’amministrazione regionale

Solo attraverso un adeguato intervento di estirpazione e reimpianto dei vigneti è possibile preservare, adeguare e valorizzare il patrimonio viticolo e le produzioni che da esso derivano.
Il reimpianto dei vigneti è pertanto da intendersi come una normale pratica agricola, alla pari della rimonta di stalla in campo zootecnico, ma può assumere toni problematici quando, come si verifica adesso in Toscana per una serie di circostanze legate alla profonda trasfor­mazione della viticoltura avvenuta negli ultimi 30 anni, troppi impianti giungono contem­poraneamente a fine ciclo produttivo e devono essere rinnovati.

Identification, quantification and organoleptic impact of « dried fruit » molecular markers in Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and in red wines

The aromas found in young Bordeaux red wines made with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon suggest a complex mixture of aromas of fresh red fruits such as cherry or blackberry for Merlot, and strawberry or blackcurrant for Cabernet Sauvignon. The aromas of these wines are closely linked with the maturity of the grapes. The climate change that has occurred during the last decade in Bordeaux has induced changes in the ripening conditions of grape berries. It is now widely admitted that over-ripening of the berries during hot and dry summers results in the development of characteristic flavors reminiscent of cooked fruits (fig, prune). The presence of these overriding odors found in both musts and young wines affects the quality and subtlety of the wine flavor and may shorten its shelf life.
