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.

Prosensorial potential of new fungi-resistant varieties in modern oenology

The introduction into the Italian wine supply chain of the latest generation of fungi-resistant grapevine varieties, endowed with a greater or lesser strong resistance to downy and powdery mildews, represents a valid tool of making viticulture more sustainable, particularly in northern regions of the peninsula, where climatic conditions accentuate the pressure of fungal diseases. However, the affirmation of resistant varieties is a function of their agronomic value, as well as of their oenological and sensorial value. The purpose of this study was to evaluate in detail the sensory potential of the new resistant varieties, in order to understand their real possibility of inclusion in the modern global enological context.

Micro-meteorological, compositional and transcriptional study of corvina grape color during ripening

Grape anthocyanin content and composition could affect the quality and the production strategies of red wines. Differences in the pigment composition modify the color properties in terms of hue, extractability and stability. Thus, for the production of a highly qualitative wine such as “Amarone”, variations in the pigment composition are not negligible. The aim of this work was the investigation of the anthocyanin profile changes during ripening in Corvina grapes, the main cultivar for the “Amarone” production. The experiment took place in 2015, in two vineyards located in Valpollicella (Italy).
