Characterization of the adaptive mechanisms of grapevine rootstocks to iron deficiency induced by lime stress

Abstract

Iron (Fe) deficiency is one of the important nutritional disorders for grapevine growing in alkaline and calcareous soils. Although Fe is an abundant element in soil, several factors limiting its availability, particularly the high levels of calcium carbonate or bicarbonate in soil, leading to a remarkable reduction in grapevine growth and productivity. The use of Fe chlorosis-tolerant rootstocks seems to be a cost-effective and efficient way to maintain Fe balance. Morphological and physiological changes occur in plants to cope with low Fe availability, including enhancement of ferric chelate reductase activity and altering root system by increasing lateral roots and root hairs. However, the mechanisms underlying these responses grapevine rootstocks are still unclear. Our study aimed to decipher the physiological and molecular mechanisms to prevent iron deficiency chlorosis under high lime conditions of different tolerant rootstocks. Our results confirmed different responses related to rootstock genotype (Fercal, 3309C) in root biomass, ferric chelate reductase activity and organic acid contents depending on direct (-Fe) or indirect (+Fe+BiC) Fe deficiency. Currently expression studies are performed to conclude on Fe uptake, transport and relocation, including their regulation signals e.g. transcription factors and phytohormones. Findings of this study will contribute to our knowledge on rootstock traits and optimize our strategy for vine nutrition.

Relative impact of crop size and leaf removal on aromatic compounds and phenolic acids of Istrian Malvasia wine

Although several studies investigated the impact of crop size or fruit zone microclimate on aromatic or phenolic composition of wines, the effects of these two practices were not assessed and compared in the same study through a technological experiment within the same vineyard. Therefore, their relative effectiveness is hard to compare, which in turn is essential for providing producers with valuable information as a basis to choose adequate approach in yield and canopy management. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of two crop sizes and two different fruit zone microclimate conditions obtained by leaf removal in a two-factorial experiment, in order to assess and compare their relative impact on Istrian Malvasia (Vitis vinifera L.) white wine aroma and phenolic composition.

The effects of cover cropping systems on vine physiology, berry and wine quality in a climate change scenario in Switzerland

Sustainable weed control with little detrimental effects on vine physiology, yield, berry quality, soil structure, health and biodiversity is a key factor in vineyard management. Few options are available to avoid herbicide utilization and minimize negative effects of frequent tillage on soil quality. The present project aims to investigate and develop different cover management strategies in a cool climate viticultural region in Switzerland. The impact of different treatments on vine, must and wine has been studied in an experimental vineyard in Changins, Switzerland for one year and will be continued over the next three years.

Etude préliminaire des influences pédoclimatiques sur les caractéristiques quali-quantitatives du cépage aglianico dans une zone de la province de benevento-ltalie

The need to classify the vineyards of an area according to the quality of its wines is not recent, but it is only in the last ten years that studies on the suitability of different areas for the cultivation of vineyard take on an integrated and interdisciplinary character (Boselli, 1991). The definition of the suitability of the environment is thus obtained by making the climatic, pedological, topographical and cultural information interact with the vegetative, productive and qualitative expression of the grape varieties.
