The sensitivity to ABA affects the cross-talk between scion/rootstock in tolerant grapevines to drought stress

Abstract

Drought caused by climate change has a dramatic incidence on the vineyard. Despite employing specific rootstocks tolerant to drought like 110 Richter, the vineyard continues to experience various losses, revealing the importance of the scion cultivar in the adaptation to drought stress. In this regard, Merlot, a widely cultivated grapevine, exhibited reduced drought tolerance compared to less cultivated varieties like Callet, a local cultivar originating from the Balearic Islands that demonstrated greater resilience to drought. Therefore, understanding the drought stress response in both cultivars and the cross-talk between scion and rootstock is key to unveiling possible differences that could affect to the adaptation to drought in vineyard. Plants from both cultivars grafted in the tolerant rootstock, 110 Richter, underwent different drought stages. For each stage, samples from leaves and roots were analyzed at metabolic, hormonal, physiological and transcriptomic level. The results revealed differences at most levels, increasing the production of osmolytes and antioxidant molecules involved in response to drought stress in Callet. However, hormonal analysis showed similar ABA production in both cultivars, indicating lower sensitivity to ABA in the case of Merlot compared to Callet. Moreover, the transcriptomic analysis revealed a modulation of genes involved in response to ABA and miRNA in leaves and roots of Callet, whereas in Merlot was mostly absent in roots, evidencing a poor cross-talk between Merlot and rootstock and increasing the value of the correct combination scion/rootstock for the vineyard adaptation to climate change.

Cultivation of grapes Chardonnay in soils with management practices biodynamic and conventional

The cultivation of grapes, can be accomplished with the use of different systems and practices of agricultural management, the choice of the system to be followed in the vineyard, depends on the conditions of available resources, these being: natural, economic, social, cultural and territorial. As well, it is relevant to know the characteristics of the soil of the vineyard. In the last decade, has been recurrent use of agricultural practices which date back to milinares traditions, with the aim of promoting a recovery of soil and lead the management of cultivation with less damage to the ecosystem. The study here, aimed to quantify the environmental impacts caused in the use of nutrients in conventional tillage and of grapes in the biodynamic agricultural properties in the state of Rio Grande do Sul- Brazil.

Landscape study of the Suzette rural district. A vineyard in the heart of the Dentelles de Montmirail

Le territoire de Suzette se développe sur un grand coteau viticole et boisé situé au cœur du site naturel des Dentelles de Montmirail (40km au nord d’Avignon). Ce site est à la fois l’un des pôles d’attraction touristique du département et le lieu d’une production viticole renommée (Gigondas, Vacqueyras, Beaumes de Venise, … ). Cet ensemble remarquable de terrasses viticoles et de crêtes rocheuses et boisées, forme un des paysages emblématiques du Vaucluse. La commune est actuellement soumise à une importante pression foncière due à une forte demande résidentielle. Le paysage du coteau forme et possède de ce fait un patrimoine culturel de valeur et une image de marque importante pour la production viticole locale.
