Diversity of leaf functioning under water deficit in a large grapevine panel: high throughput phenotyping and genetic analyses

Abstract

Water resource is a major limiting factor impacted by climate change that threatens grapevine production and quality. Understanding the ecophysiological mechanisms involved in the response to water deficit is crucial to select new varieties more drought tolerant. A major bottleneck that hampers such advances is the lack of methods for measuring fine functioning traits on thousands of plants as required for genetic analyses. This study aimed at investigating how water deficit affects the trade-off between carbon gains and water losses in a large panel representative of the Vitis vinifera genetic diversity. 250 genotypes were grown under 3 watering scenarios (well-watered, moderate and severe water deficit) in a high-throughput phenotyping platform. To assess traits related to carbon and water functioning on the whole panel, we deployed an original approach where 120 leaves of 40 genotypes were phenotyped combining low-throughput devices to precisely measure ecophysiological traits, as well as innovative, portable high-throughput devices to measure near infrared reflectance, porometry and chlorophyll fluorescence. These data allowed us to build cutting-edge statistical models, such as multiblock models, which jointly use data from different devices, for predicting ecophysiological traits. Models for predicting photosynthesis and transpiration were accurate enough to be applied on the entire panel, only measured with high-throughput devices. Such predictions highlighted a wide range of genotypic variability and contrasting responses to water deficit. Multi-traits and Multi-Environment Genome Wide Association Studies further revealed genomic regions associated with these responses, and underlying candidate genes are being investigated.

Novel analytical technologies for wine fingerprinting in and beyond the laboratory

For characterization, sensory designing and authentication rapid analytical technologies have become available. Some, like Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry allow a rapid spectrum of the volatile compounds of wines. Combined with chemometrics wines can be characterized. The same approach can be used to calculate the results of virtual mixtures and allow formulation of constant quality blends. Other new techniques and portable devices based on spectroscopy allow measurements on production sites and in grocery stores, even for the smart consumer. We will present some examples of the application of these techniques for authentication of wines, both in the laboratory and on site.

Evaluation of sap flow and trunk diameter measurements in grapevines using time series decomposition

Grapevines are very sensitive to weather conditions. Excessively hot and dry periods trigger the activation of survival mechanisms, such as reduction of crop transpiration and the redistribution of water. Monitoring these mechanisms is, therefore, essential to better understand the grapevine water dynamics and maximize water-use efficiency.

Towards the understanding of wine distillation in the production of brandy de Jerez. Chemical and sensory characterization of two distillation methods: continuous and batch distillation

Brandy de Jerez (BJ) is a spirit drink made exclusively from spirits and wine distillates and is characterized by the use of casks for aging that previously contained Sherries. The quality and sensory complexity of BJ depend on the raw materials and some factors: grape variety, conditions during processing the wine and its distillation, as well as the aging in the cask. Therefore, the original compounds of the grapes from which it comes are of great interest being in most cases the Airén variety. Their relationship with the quality of the musts and the wines obtained from them has been studied (1) and varies each year of harvest depending on the weather conditions (2).
