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.

Impact of glutathione and elemental sulphur juice addition on the volatile thiol production in South African Sauvignon blanc wine

Three compounds, 3-mercaptohexanol (3MH), 3-mercaptohexyl-acetate (3MHA) and 4-mercapto-4-methylpentan-2-one (4MMP), also known as varietal thiols, have been identified to contribute positively to wine aroma and are responsible for the distinct gooseberry, grapefruit, guava and box tree character found in Sauvignon blanc wines. Certain volatile thiol compounds though, can cause off-aromas of onion, garlic, rubber and rotten egg, this group of molecules is known as reductive sulphur compounds (RSC). This study looks into how the addition of sulphur-compounds to Sauvignon blanc juice contributes to the varietal thiol (3MH and 3MHA) concentration and reductive sulphur compound concentration in South African Sauvignon blanc wine.

White grape must processed by UHPH as an alternative to SO2 addition: Effect on the phenolic composition in three varieties

The quantity and distribution of polyphenols in musts play a fundamental role in the white winemaking. This is because these substances are exposed to oxidation reactions, which are catalysed by the polyphenol oxidase (PPO), leading to a decrease in the quality of the wines produced. PPO is inactivated by SO2, but currently, due to the restrictions of the legislation, other methodologies are being investigated. Ultra-High Pressure Homogenization (UHPH) is a non-thermal physic technology that exerts an ultrahigh pressure pumping (>200 MPa) of a fluid through a valve in a continuous system.
