Identifying physiological and genetic bases of grapevine adaptation to climate change with maintained quality: Genome diversity as a driver for phenotypic plasticity  (‘PlastiVigne’ project)

Abstract

In the face of climate change, new grapevine varieties will have to show an adaptive  phenotypic plasticity to maintain production with erratic water resources, and still ensure the quality of the final product. Their selection requires a better knowledge of the genetic basis of those traits and of the elementary processes involved in their variability. ‘PlastiVigne’, an emblematic project of the Vinid’Occ key challenge, funded by the Occitanie Region (France), tackles this issue with innovative genomic and physiological tools implemented on a unique panel of grape genetic resources representing the genetic diversity of Vitis vinifera. A graph-pangenome is developed from a representative set of high-quality genomes to study the extent and impact of structural genome variations and chromosomal rearrangements in the rapid adaptation capacity of grapevine. We will characterize structural variants potentially related to differential expression or alternative spicing of candidate genes for stress tolerance in individual grape berries. Markers derived from structural variants mapped on the pangenome, as well as new sets of SNP markers, will allow the identification of genomic regions associated to leaf water and carbon balance under several water stress regimes, its  plasticity, adaptation traits like phenology, genomic vulnerability, and to some traits related to the aromatic potential of grape berries. They represent new tools for grape breeding. More detailed functional analysis of leaf and berry phenotypic plasticity in response to water deficit will be then conducted, on a subset of contrasted varieties. We will present the project strategy and highlight a few preliminary results.

Nutrients and heavy metals in a vineyard soil under organic, biodynamic and conventional management

Promoting sustainable agricultural practices is one of the challenges of the last decades. Organic and biodynamic viticulture can be an alternative to intensive viticulture, furthermore contributing to reduction of impact on environment and human health and guaranteeing soil preservation and quality products1. The aim of this experimentation was to evaluate the medium and long-term effects of different agronomic practices in viticulture on nutrient availability and heavy metal accumulation in soil.

Evaluation of intravarietal variability and selection for tolerance to downy mildew: The case of Antão Vaz variety in Portugal 

Antão Vaz is a Portuguese white grapevine variety grown mainly in the wine-growing regions of Southern Portugal, particularly in the Alentejo, Lisbon and Setúbal peninsula regions. It is a very vigorous and productive variety, giving the wines a strong identity. It needs heat and sunlight and prefers deep and dry soils, which makes it tolerant to scald caused by the high summer temperatures of Southern Portugal. However, this variety is very susceptible to downy mildew, caused by plasmopara viticola, a very destructive disease in years with rainy springs.

Development of bioprospecting tools for oenological applications

Wine is the result of a complex biochemical process. From a microbiological point of view, the grape berry is characterised by a heterogeneous microbiota composed of different microorganisms (yeasts, bacteria and filamentous fungi) which will play a predominant role in the quality of the final product. At this level, yeasts play a predominant role in the chemistry of wine, as they

Impacts of climate change on cv. Glera buds’ fruitfulness – 18 years of monitoring in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area, Italy

Context and purpose of the study. The vine is generally a very fertile plant when compared to other tree species.

Discrimination of white wines by Raman spectroscopy coupled with chemometric methods

France is the largest exporter of wine in the world. The export turnover is estimated at 8.7 billion euros in 2017 for 13 million hectoliters sold. This lucrative business pushes scammers to increase the value of some low-end wines by cheating on their appellations, quality or even their origins. These facts lead to losing 1.3 billion euros each year to the European Union’s wine and spirits companies.
