Coping with extreme climatic events: some lessons from recent work on grapevine under heat peak

Abstract

Climate change critically challenges viticulture. Among other threats, extreme and increasingly frequent heatwaves cause irreversible burns on leaves and bunches. A series of observations and experiments was conducted to better understand how leaf burns originate and whether genetics or management practices can mitigate them. In 2019, a panel of 279 potted cultivars of Vitis vinifera L. grown outdoors suffered a heat peak and a genetic origin of leaf burn variability was demonstrated. To deeper explore this variability, fourteen cultivars were selected for their contrasting responses to high temperatures, and detached leaves were submitted to a controlled increase in temperature up to 50 °C in a growth chamber. A significant genotypic effect on leaf burn was confirmed on detached leaves like on whole plants outdoors, although with a different ranking of the varieties. As the air temperature in the growth chamber and during the 2019 heat peak evolved similarly, we hypothesized that other conditions, including light or evaporative demand, may have differentially favored one or other of the different physiological determinants of leaf burn. Therefore, in parallel with the development of burns on detached leaves exposed to high temperature in the growth chamber, changes in leaf temperature, transpiration rate, membrane damages and chlorophyll fluorescence were monitored. Significant differences between cultivars in leaf temperature and in the reduction of maximum photosynthesis yield were highlighted. Genetic variation in leaf burns correlated with some of these physiological responses paving the way to the identification of genotypes or conditions with minimal symptoms.

What to do to solve the riddle of vine rootstock induced drought tolerance

Climate change will increase the frequency of water deficit situation in some European regions, by the increase of the evapotranspiration and the reduction of rainfalls during the growing cycle. This requires finding ways of adaptation, including the use of plant material which is more tolerant to drought. In addition to the varieties used as scions that result in the typicality of wines, rootstocks constitute a relevant way of adaptation to more stressful environmental conditions.

Evaluation of winegrape anthocyanins in the vineyard using a portable fluorimetric sensor: seasonal and water regime effects

Accumulation of anthocyanins (Anth) on whole winegrape (Vitis vinifera L.) bunches attached to the vine was monitored by a fluorescence-based sensor (Multiplex) on ‘Aleatico’ and ‘Nero d’Avola’. Different water regimes were applied.

Importance of the Terror Variability Map (TVM) in Precision viticulture (PV): choice of methodology for soil classification

The Precision Viticulture (PV) is defined “as a management system that is information and technology based, is site specific and uses one or more of the following sources of data: soils, vigour, nutrients, pests, moisture, and yield among others, for optimum profitability, sustainability, and protection of the environment” (OIV, 2018, in process). The elements mentioned in the definition are an important part of the terroir components. The terroir is a tool In Viticulture, it is the analysis and study unit, and the variability of a certain situation can be due to any difference in every element or property of each factor that constitutes it, including the management.The soil and its management are those that bring the most variability to terroir.

Differentiation and characterization of Spanish fortified wines with protected designation of origin based on volatiles using multivariate approaches

Spain is one of the main producers of high-quality fortified wines. Particularly some of them elaborated in Andalusia have acquired a great prestige for being unique due to their production in a specific geographical area with traditional methods, the grape variety used, the climate and the soil. Such is their distinguishing feature achieved that they have been protected by the European Union with the indication “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO). Thus, there are four PDO of fortified wines in Andalucía (‘Condado de Huelva’, ‘Jerez Xérès Sherry’, ‘Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda’, and ‘Montilla-Moriles’). Furthermore, within each PDO,there are different categories according to their particular characteristics and winemaking conditions such as the aging process.
