Merging two genomes: a holistic approach to disentangle rootstock-mediated drought and recovery responses

Abstract

Viticulture is facing many challenges due to climate change effects with increasingly attention to save resources, such as water, considering that drought events have been predicted to dramatically increase over the next future. Thanks to the -omics techniques, research pushed forward knowledge to deepen facets of drought response in diverse grapevine-rootstock combinations. However, the regulatory mechanisms orchestrating adaptation strategies during drought and recovery in grafted grapevines need further exploration. Herein, we combined ecophysiological, biochemical and molecular approaches to unravel drought and recovery-induced changes in potted Nebbiolo (NE) plants grafted onto three different rootstocks (3309, Kober5BB, Gravesac), by analysing root and leaf tissues. Rhizosphere bacterial dynamics and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) colonization have also been investigated during drought and recovery phases. Leaf ecophysiology and water relations were monitored over time, revealing diverse behaviours at severe stress (SS) and recovery (REC) conditions. Overall, combining anatomical, biochemical and gene expression data of stress-associated markers involved in ABA metabolism, osmolytes, antioxidant pathways and xylem features from both bionts, different ABA- or osmotic-dependent responses were observed at SS and REC for NE/3009 and NE/Gravesac combinations. Conversely, the NE/Kober5BB combination appeared to be in a primingstate, displaying higher root ABA content and AM colonization prior to stress imposition, along with a lower scion xylem area. These findings underscore the varied strategies employed by different grafted combinations in drought recovery, considering grapevines not as standalone entities, but rather as holobionts (with their inhabiting microbes) interacting collectively with the surrounding environment.

Chemical and sensory evolution of total and partial dealcoholized wine in a can

In recent years, wine consumption has been evolving towards new trends. On the one hand, awareness of health and responsible consumption has been growing, and with it, the demand for wines with lower or without alcohol content [1].

Recent advances in our understanding of the impact of climate change on wine grape production

According to the last IPCC report, the scale of recent climate changes are unprecedented over many centuries. Each of the last four decades has been successively warmer than any decade since 1850. Projections for the future foresee that temperature could reach +3.3°C to +5.7°C under the most pessimistic scenario. It is also projected that every region will face more concurrent and multiple changes in climatic impact-drivers. The frequency of extreme climate events is also likely to increase, as well as the occurrence of indirect constraints. These evolving climatic conditions are alrealdy affecting and will continue to affect the suitability of traditional wine grape production areas, but also create opportunities in new locations.

Cultivation of grapes Chardonnay in soils with management practices biodynamic and conventional

The cultivation of grapes, can be accomplished with the use of different systems and practices of agricultural management, the choice of the system to be followed in the vineyard, depends on the conditions of available resources, these being: natural, economic, social, cultural and territorial. As well, it is relevant to know the characteristics of the soil of the vineyard. In the last decade, has been recurrent use of agricultural practices which date back to milinares traditions, with the aim of promoting a recovery of soil and lead the management of cultivation with less damage to the ecosystem. The study here, aimed to quantify the environmental impacts caused in the use of nutrients in conventional tillage and of grapes in the biodynamic agricultural properties in the state of Rio Grande do Sul- Brazil.

INSIGHT THE IMPACT OF GRAPE PRESSING ON MUST COMPOSITION

The pre-fermentative steps play a relevant role for the characteristics of white wine [1]. In particular, the grape pressing can affect the chemical composition and sensory profile and its optimized management leads to the desired extraction of aromas and their precursors, and phenols resulting in a balanced wine [2-4]. These aspects are important especially for must addressed to the sparkling wine as appropriate extraction of phenols is expected being dependent to grape composition, as well.
