Regulation of terpene production in methyl jasmonate treated cell-cultures

Abstract

Terpenes are responsible for flavors and aromas of grapes, however, they also protect from radiation, participate in biotic stress and antioxidant mechanisms. The phytohormone methyl jasmonate (MeJA) mediates many of these stress responses and has been associated with increased terpene content in berries. Here, we generated transcriptomic data of Vitis vinifera cv. ‘Gamay’ cells treated with MeJA (100 μM) and cyclodextrins (50 μM) to understand these responses. Ontology analysis revealed that up-regulated genes (URGs) were enriched in jasmonic acid biosynthesis and signaling terms, as expected. Inspection of transcription factors (TFs) among URGs allowed us to study uncharacterized TFs.  MapMan enrichment analysis on their TOP420 co-expressed genes (CEGs) allowed us to delimit some TFs highly enriched in jasmonate-related terms. This was the case of VviMYC2, the only grape member of the bHLH IIIe subgroup, and the best candidate for studying the regulation of jasmonate signaling. We confirmed the binding potential of MYC2 by DAP-seq, and combining it to the list of MeJA-URGs and MYC2-CEGs, we generated a list of high-confidence targets that included jasmonate-related genes and TFs such as MYB24, previously found to interact with MYC2 and required for the activation of terpenoid genes. In concordance, our MeJA data showed 13 significantly induced TPS genes, 9 of which are bound by MYB24, MYC2 or both. A few terpenoid compounds associated with the induced TPSs were significantly accumulated by MeJA. Our data suggests MYC2 regulates the jasmonate pathway and mediates terpene production cooperating with MYB24 in response to MeJA.

Ageing of Sauvignon Blanc white wines with Specific Inactivated Dry Yeasts: Effect on physical and chemical characteristics

Del Barrio-Galán, R.a, b, Gómez-Parrini, A.a, Peña-Neira, A.b a Lallemand Inc. Chile y Compañía Limitada, Rosario Norte 407, piso 6, Las condes, Santiago, Chile b Department of Agro-Industry and Enology, Faculty of Agronomical Sciences, University of Chile, Post Office Box 1004, Santa Rosa 11315, La Pintana, Santiago, Chile It is well known that polysaccharides, mainly mannoproteins, play an important role on physical, chemical and sensory quality of wines. The ageing of white wines on lees is used in order to release higher amounts of polysaccharides by the autolytic processes in order to obtain higher-quality wines. However, this technique is too slow, because the temperature and pH conditions are not the most suitable for this process. In addition, it can also involve certain disadvantages such as a greater demand on winery resources, a longer period of wine storage, the appearance of reduction notes and some microbiological alterations.

Viticultural zoning of the country of Mendoza, Argentina. Study of the first zone : department of Luján de Cuyo. Statement of the study year 2002

La région viticole de Mendoza est la principale zone vitivinicole d’Argentine qui se compose de 3 oasis (Nord, Valle de Uco, Sud). La première zone vitivinicole, située dans l’oasis Nord, est composée par les département de Luján de Cuyo et Maipu. C’est la zone de production la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue pour la qualité de sa production. Ce travail se porte plus particulièrement sur le département de Luján de Cuyo qui constitue le lieu traditionnel de production du Malbec argertin. Ce travail propose de caractériser les terroirs et de mettre en avant leurs typicités.

Terroir et variabilité microclimatique : pour une approche à l’échelle de la parcelle

The climatic component is one of the elements of the zoning of viticultural potential, alongside the geological and pedological components (Morlat, 1989; Lebon et al , 1993). Many climatic indices have thus been defined to estimate the potential for wine production at the scale of a region or a country (Carbonneau et al ., 1992). The main climatic variables used are temperature and radiation. We note in particular the indices of Branas, Huglin and Ribereau-Gayon (Huglin, 1986). However, few studies have been undertaken on the spatial variability of microclimatic conditions at the scale of a vineyard, a valley, or even a municipality.
