Rootstock-scion contributions to seasonal water and light use diversity under field conditions

Abstract

Cultivar and rootstock selection are two well-known strategies for adapting vine production in challenging environments. Despite the vast diversity of rootstocks and cultivars, their effective contribution to grapevine sustainable development and acclimation to changing growing conditions remains an open question. The use of robust and prompt monitoring tools can allow a powerful screening of the water status of the vineyard before considering a further detailed characterization. This study leveraged new tools to monitor the stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration rate (E), and quantum efficiency of photosystem II (ᶲPSII) throughout a season, from pre-veraison to after-harvest. The resulting dataset represent one of the largest and most comprehensive rootstock gas exchange studies to date, encompassing a broad range of rootstock-scion combinations: Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon cv. grafted onto the rootstocks 110R, 1103P, SO4, 5BB, 140Ru, and Fercal. A total of 45 measurements, distributed by three blocks, were undertaken per combination throughout eleven dates. Overall, the results show that water use diversity is driven primarily by the cultivar and to a much lesser extent the rootstocks, whose contribution is greatly influenced by environmental parameters (e.g. VPD, light, temperature, and precipitation) and vine development. Grenache cv. showed the lowest gs values during the experiment, displaying the most conservative water use strategy. On the other hand, light stress responses were more homogeneous across rootstock-scion combinations. Finally, the contribution of most rootstock-scion combinations was revealed to be complex and to vary greatly across the season.

Comprehensive exploration of wine aroma-related compounds as promoted by alternative vinification procedures in case of Zelen (Vitis vinifera L.) grapes processing

Not only vintner’s decisions in the vineyard, but also winemaker’s choices of technology approaches in the cellar play a significant role in the final wine style and quality. Whereas traditional technologies within chosen terroir are quite well explored and thus somehow predictable, there is no proper knowledge available on possible outcomes in case of implementing novel, alternative winemaking strategies. To reveal their effects on wine aroma compounds and sensory characteristics, two alternative strategies
(cryoextraction or addition of whole grape berries during last stages of fermentation) were compared to classical Vipava valley winemaking approach as normally used for an autochthonous variety Zelen. After separate vinification and bottling, all the experimental wines were subjected to semiquantitative metabolic profiling of volatile compounds (VOCs) by means of GC/MS and were then also sensorialy evaluated by pre-trained panel.

Association between dietary pattern and wine consumption and Alzheimer’s disease in a cohort from La Rioja (Spain)

Addressing modifiable risk factors is the most promising strategy to prevent/delay Alzheimer Disease (AD)[1]. The aim of the study was to establish the connections between dietetic habits, wine consumption and AD. Thus, 98 volunteers were recruited: 50 diagnosed as AD and 48 healthy/controls. The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used for dietary patterns assessment and, based on these data, the Mind Diet Score was calculated. (Poly)phenol metabolites (especially derived from wine consumption) were analyzed by UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS in 24-h urine samples to confirm dietary (poly)phenol consumption.
