Decline of rootstock-mediated physiological responses in Tempranillo grapevines by prolonged extreme conditions

Abstract

Agriculture faces many global warming challenges especially in the Mediterranean region. Many strategies have been proposed in viticulture to manage global warming. Rootstocks are among them since they may affect water uptake and the scion’s performance.

The study conducted in La Rioja, Spain, aimed to investigate the impact of different rootstocks (1103P and 161-49C) on the performance of the Tempranillo grapevine scion over a three-day cycles under drought and extreme conditions, specifically during a heatwave in July 2022, with maximum air temperatures up to 40ºC and average daily temperatures of 29.1ºC. The physiological parameters measured included stomatal conductance (gs), photosynthesis (AN), transpiration (E), mid-day (ѰMD), intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) and abscisic acid (ABA) concentrations.

The results indicated that water stress treatment significantly affected all physiological parameters throughout the three-day cycle. Interestingly, the rootstocks did not show a significant impact on AN or gs, except for water potential. The rootstock effect on AN and gs was observed during the initial hours of the day on specific days, particularly coinciding with the lowest daytime temperature.

Notably, ABA levels were affected by water stress only on the first day of measurement, at the beginning of the heatwave. However, this effect disappeared on subsequent days (195 and 200) when ABA concentrations reached their highest levels. Surprisingly, the rootstocks did not influence ABA levels.

Our data suggest that, the physiological effects triggered by the rootstocks in grapevine tend to diminish under prolonged extreme events such as heat waves, high temperatures and water scarcity.

Caractérisation et gestion de la maturation par terroir en Champagne

Pour prévoir et gérer chaque année les principales caractéristiques de la maturation en Champagne, le CIVC (Comité Interprofessionnel du Vin de Champagne) a développé un ensemble de moyens de prévision et d’information très performants qui permettent aux différents acteurs de la filière viti-vinicole de prendre en compte ces informations à l’échelle de chaque terroir communal pour la recherche d’une qualité optimale.

Spontaneous fermentation dynamics of indigenous yeast populations and their effect on the sensory properties of Riesling

Varietal Riesling aroma relies strongly on the formation and liberation of bound aroma compounds. Floral monoterpenes, green C6-alcohols, fruity C13-norisoprenoids and spicy volatile phenols are predominantly bound to disaccharides, which are produced and stored in the grape berry during berry maturation.

Investigation on Valbelluna area and its oenological potentiality: case study on Prosecco DOC

Valbelluna valley is an area located in the northeastern Italy. It is extended from the East-West between Feltre and Belluno, along the Piave waterway and enclosed between Cansiglio valley on the South and the Dolomites in the North. Here, the villages of Limana and Trichiana are present, which are considered for decades potentially interesting areas to aim a niche production with own particular properties.The position of this area, its sun exposition, its soil composition and the microclimate, are ideal factors to obtain vines and consequently wines with unique features especially regarding the diversity and complexity aroma.

Distribution and associated symptoms of grapevine trunk pathogens in South Africa

In recent studies, several grapevine trunk pathogen complexes have been identified from grapevines in South Africa. These pathogens include Eutypa lata, Phaeomoniella chlamydospora, Phaeoacremonium sp., Botryosphaeria sp. and Phomopsis sp. Trunk diseases lead to reduced yield, and grape quality as well as a decline
